Etat : New. pages cm.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 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 humanand also non-humanexistences 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. "Offers and unfolds the concept of anthropomediality which makes it possible to think the human-media-relation as a general precondition for human existences and mediatic bodies"-- Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
