Does Social Media Have Limits?: Bodies of Light & the Desire for Omnipresence

Autor Camila Mozzini-Alister
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iul 2022
This book is a vibrant investigation on a deeply human subconscious desire: the desire for omnipresence, or in a nutshell, the desire to be here, there, and everywhere at the same time. After all, why is it not enough just to be in the offline ordinariness of the here and now? To answer this question, Camila Mozzini-Alister does the crossing of two seemingly distant universes: mediation and meditation. Throughout a vigorous archaeology of the relationship between screen and mind allied with an engaging first-person narrative, the author raises awareness of the risks of becoming addicted to social media and obsessed by meditation. This brings forth a vital question: what are the limits for the desire to be more than a body?

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"In this book, Camila Mozzini-Alister sets the path for pursuing both the work of Vilém Flusser and Tantra Yoga’s practical philosophy proposed by P. R. Sarkar. A profoundly serious examination of the post-human condition in the age of social media, this research is as moving as it is insightful. Mozzini-Alister’s incisive questioning is indispensable for a new understanding of the meaning and value of meditation."
Fabian Ludueña Romandini, Professor of Philosophy, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina
 "In this fascinating book with a stunning title, I am reminded of the brilliant works of William Irwin Thompson, and his classic, The Time Falling Bodies Take To Light."                                                                                                                                       — Sohail Inayatullah, Inaugural UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies, Tamkang University
