Material type:
TextPublisher: Cambridge : Polity Press, 2018Description: 224 pagesContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780745651323 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Digital media -- Philosophy | Mass media -- Aesthetics | Media Studies | Media StudiesDDC classification: 302.2'3'01 Summary: Media are poetic forces. They produce and reveal worlds, representing them to our senses and connecting them to our lives. While the poetic powers of media are perceptual, symbolic, social and technical, they are also profoundly moral and existential. They matter for how we reflect upon and act in a shared, everyday world of finite human existence. 'The Poetics of Digital Media' explores the poetic work of media in digital culture. Developing an argument through close readings of overlooked or denigrated media objects - screenshots, tagging, selfies and more - the book reveals how media shapes the taken-for-granted structures of our lives, and how they disclose our world through sudden moments of visability and tangibility.
