The stimulating essays and experimental compositions in \u003ci\u003eThe User Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e delve into the ways digital media and computational technologies fundamentally affect our sense of self and the world we live in, from both human and other-than-human perspectives.\u003cp\u003eCritical theorist Patricia Ticineto Clough's provocative essays center around the motif of the \"user unconscious\" to advance the challenging thesis that that we are both human and other-than-human: we now live, think, and dream within multiple layers of computational networks that are constantly present, radically transforming subjectivity, sociality, and unconscious processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing together rising strains of philosophy, critical theory, and media studies, as well as the political, social, and economic transformations that are shaping the twenty-first-century world, \u003ci\u003eThe User Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e points toward emergent crises and potentialities in both human subjectivity and sociality. Moving from affect to data, Clough forces us to see that digital media and computational technologies are not merely controlling us--they have already altered what it means to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Ticineto Clough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517904218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517904210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018","brand":"Patricia Ticineto Clough","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088507252991,"sku":"9781517904210","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44c46616-82be-4aa6-aea8-50fd14e660c2.jpg?v=1769105148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-user-unconscious-patricia-ticineto-clough-9781517904210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
