Anthropologies of Entanglements: Media and Modes of Existence: Thinking Media

Editat de Christiane Voss, Lorenz Engell, Tim Othold
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 sep 2023
Media and human modes of existence are always already intertwined and interdependent. The notion of the anthropocene has further stimulated a new examination of ideas about human agency and responsibility. Various approaches all emphasize relational concepts and the situatedness and embodiment of human-and also non-human-existences and experiences. Their common interest has shifted from any so-called 'human nature' to the multitude of cultural, topographical, technical, historical, social, discursive, and media formats with which human existences are entangled.This volume brings together a range of thinkers from international backgrounds and puts these important reflections and ideas in the spotlight. More specifically, the volume explores the concept of "anthropomedial entanglements." It fosters an understanding of human bodies, experiences, and media as being immanently entangled and mutually constituting, prior to any possible distinction between them. The different contributions thus open up a dialogue between empirical case studies and media-historical research on the one hand and the conceptual work of media and cultural philosophies and aesthetics on the other hand.

Recenzii

Anthropologies of Entanglement develops a new and inspiring approach to understanding our contemporary condition of the "Mediocene", in which the human and natural spheres are indissolubly intertwined with and permeated by media. Its key word, "Anthropomediality," convincingly suggests to conceive the human existence as mediatic; the relation comes before the related. The 16 contributions by international authors from a broad variety of fields brilliantly discuss the entanglements that precede all forms of reification and anthropogenesis.
This splendid collection includes essays tackling examples from the multiple histories of our co-evolution with technologies (from the prostheses of World War I to today's surveillance devices of the train station) and others offering ways to conceptualize the status of human-media interrelations, and their inseparability, that entanglement carried in Voss' term, "anthropomediality." The writing is consistently lucid and engaging, as well as helpful in unfolding dense theories into usable form and in applying them to a diversity of films (from Rocky to Claire Denis). The book will be particularly valuable for students wanting to think more deeply about the consequences of a traffic that courses among media and existence.
