Starts with a concept of The Mode of Information by analogy with the Marxist theory of mode of production. His aim is to theorize the "decentering" of the self and the subject by electronic communication forms such as television and databases. His method is to create four bodies of theory at a middle level of abstraction, what I call theoretical middleware (by analogy with software architecture). Postmodernism as of 1990.

In this path-breaking work, Mark Poster highlights the nature of the newly emerging forms of social life, in the current era. The flexibility of language which the computer allows makes the written word less certain and less concrete. The result of these changes, Poster argues, is a new communication experience, an interaction between humankind and a new kind of reality. Poster discusses the addictive properties of television and arcade video games, as well as the surveillance possibilities which the new communication technologies offer the state. His wide-ranging analysis incorporates the new language-based theories of mathematics, philosophy and literature in Wiener, Derrida and Barthes, among others. This work is a major new contribution to the debate surrounding the future of electronically mediated-experiences. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
