内容説明

Virtualities are found in everyday life, in forms supported by television, video, and the computer. Far from being liberating, however, these virtualities commonly cloak an impoverished public sphere by disguising impersonal relations as Utopian expression. It is the interactions people have with machines and images that are the focus of Margaret Morse's analysis -- cultural forms from television graphics and shopping malls, to the practices of driving and conducting war. The explosive development of the media in this century has resulted in abstract relations with machines and/or physically removed strangers. This phenomenon characterizes ever-larger areas of work and private life. More and more personal and subjective means of expression, and ways of virtually interacting with machines and/or distant strangers, are elaborated with each new technological advance. The more abstract, and removed, information has become from everyday life, the less real the experience. Morse offers new ways of thinking about the possibilities and limits of virtual practices.
