| Descripción: | Fragments from the prehistory of radar are analyzed to advance a notion of logistical media. Logistical media order and arrange people and objects and subtly influence our experiences of space and time (Case, 2010). Logistical media emphasize logistics, feedback, and remote control in communication. They gesture to the work of Innis (1951, 1972), Wiener (1948/1961, 1954), Carey (1988), Mumford (1964), and Virilio (1989, 1994), and to the transmission model of communication. This article considers the torpedo, searchlight, war horn, and death ray logistically and as they prefigure radar. The analysis of other logistical media is suggested.Dans cet article, nous analysons certains éléments de la préhistoire du radar pour souligner l’idée de médias logistiques. Ces derniers ordonnent et arrangent les gens et objets et influencent de manière subtile nos expériences de l’espace et du temps. Ils mettent l’accent sur la logistique, la rétroaction et le contrôle à distance en communication. Ils évoquent en outre l’oeuvre d’Harold Innis, Norbert Wiener, James W. Carey, Lewis Mumford et Paul Virilio, ainsi que le modèle transitif de la communication. Cet article considère la torpille, le projecteur, le cor de guerre et le rayon de la mort d’un point de vue logistique, en tant que précurseurs du radar. Il propose par la suite l’analyse d’autres médias logistiques. |
