an
archaeology of device II - Lloyd
Godman
Simple
tools fashioned in:
hard stone, bone, wood, bronze, steel, sharp blades, teeth
that cut, horned edges that slice, points that prick,
ropes that bind, tips that pinch, hard flat heavy weights
that pound ----------------. Or moving mechanical parts:
wheels that turn, arms that
swivel, blocks and tackle, tight belts, drive chains,
gears that endlessly mesh, springs that tension then release,
the pressure of steam, hydraulic pressure, electrical
energy, intricate electronic components, these have a
more corporeal and often devastating effect on matter.
- They
modify the material world.
