What does the nature of connectivity tell us about interpersonal and community relationships? What ethical concerns are raised through an always-on culture?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunication in today's world is characterised by a condition of persistent, semi-permanent connectivity, which seems to bring us closer together, but which can also be profoundly alienating. \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Web 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e takes a retrospective look at a moment in recent media history that has had, and will continue to have, a lasting impact upon the predominant attitude towards cultures of connectivity. Greg Singh draws from a range of approaches, intellectual traditions and scholarly disciplines to engage key questions underpinning the contemporary communications media ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing together influences from communitarian ethics, recognition theory and relational and depth psychology, Singh synthesises key approaches to produce a critical inquiry that projects the tensions at the heart of connectivity as a principle of Web 2.0. He argues that Web 2.0 is a cultural moment that is truly over, and that what is popularly described as 'Web 2.0' is an altogether different set of principles and practices. \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Web 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e recognises the consequences of our 'always-on' culture, where judgments are made quickly and where impacts can be far-reaching, affecting our relationships, wellbeing, mental health and the health of our communities, and it concludes by asking what an ethics of connectivity would look like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique interdisciplinary work will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, media and cultural studies and psychosocial studies as well as anyone interested in the social implications of new media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415703808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415703802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Greg Singh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136111358207,"sku":"9780415703802","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad47fd3b-d678-48ef-a461-acb9edb0d3dc.jpg?v=1770160585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-death-of-web-20-greg-singh-9780415703802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
