KlappentextThis book explores the rhetoric and reality ofdigital visual culture. It agues that contemporarymedia is characterised by unique real-time forms thatdemand qualitatively distinct viewing relations. Anambitious work of historical and theoreticalresearch, the phenomenon of media participation isconsidered in relation to defining characteristics ofdigital capitalism, and its prevailing modes ofperformative individualisation. The book explores aseries of media genres (the news, realityentertainment reality television, computer games, andmedia art) to argue that what is at stake in thecontemporary media sphere is nothing less than ourrelation to mortality and otherness. A genuineincursion into vital and ongoing conditions ofcultural convergence, this book will appeal to mediaand cultural theorists as well as art historians, andstudents of visual culture.
