Recenzii
Digital media, you say? Taffel's fantastic book responds: you probably meant this multi-scalar entangled reality of energy and matter, software and hardware, humans and technology, all in complex feedback loops that we need to map and unravel if we want to dig ourselves out of this planetary scale mediated mess we got ourselves - and our companion species - in!
Ecology is not just a metaphor in Sy Taffel's powerfully optimistic take on media ecology. Media are ecological, looting resources, dumping waste, and at the same time connecting us to our world. Taffel proposes that we stand at a decisive moment between the triumph of network capital and new ways of moving from consumerism to commonwealth. In a powerful series of case studies, Taffel shows how human mediation can stop being the problem and become the solution.
Traversing complex scales of entanglement, Sy Taffel's rich account of media ecologies provides a much needed update on the materiality of media networks. Registering astutely the crises of our times, Taffel asks how we might reorient our imaginaries, practices and economies in ways that don't submit to the dystopian horrors of the Anthropocene. Theoretically sophisticated and succinctly written, Digital Media Ecologies is a most welcome addition to the nascent field of research on environmental media and new materialism.
