I'm taking an distance class through UNC's J-school, and stumbled upon this book, which could possibly fill your need for social-history of print culture. Haven't read it yet, but it's worth a look: "Glut: Mastering Information Through the Age," by Alex Wright Another one late to the discussion.

(http://ella.slis.indiana.edu/~roday/briet.htm) might be helpful with respect to the Derrida, and, what I recently read, Richard Sole's "On Networks and Monsters" in Leonardo 41.3 (http://www.mitpressjournals.org/toc/leon/41/3). With regard to Ong, I used this text some time back in the context of transcribing Native American oral narratives; thanks for the reminder of how his arguments (black and white thought they may be) come back into currency.

Stiegler is dry at times, but worth excerpting. I think for a class like this, you really want to do parts of Discourse Networks. Stiegler is dry at times, but worth excerpting.
