Specificatii
Although the body has been the focus of much contemporary cultural
theory, the models that are typically applied neglect the most
salient characteristics of embodied existence--movement, affect,
and sensation--in favor of concepts derived from linguistic theory.
In Parables for the Virtual Brian Massumi views the body and media
such as television, film, and the Internet, as cultural formations
that operate on multiple registers of sensation beyond the reach of
the reading techniques founded on the standard rhetorical and
semiotic models.Renewing and assessing William James's radical
empiricism and HenriBergson's philosophy of perception through the
filter of the post-war French philosophy of Deleuze, Guattari, and
Foucault, Massumi links a cultural logic of variation to questions
of movement, affect, and sensation. If such concepts are as
fundamental as signs and significations, he argues, then a new set
of theoretical issues appear, and with them potential new paths for
the wedding of scientific and cultural theory. Replacing the
traditional opposition of literal and figural with new distinctions
between stasis and motion and between actual and virtual, Parables
for the Virtual tackles related theoretical issues by applying them
to cultural mediums as diverse as architecture, body art, the
digital art of Stelarc, and Ronald Reagan's acting career. The
result is an intriguing combination of cultural theory, science,
and philosophy that asserts itself in a crystalline and
multi-faceted argument. Parables for the Virtual will interest
students and scholars of continental and Anglo-American philosophy,
cultural studies, cognitive science, electronic art, digital
culture, and chaos theory, as well as those concerned with the
science wars and the relation between the humanities and the
sciences in general.
