His work engages and also rethinks several mythologies of modernity, devising new methodologies, experimental literary practices, and expanded hermeneutics that trouble traditional practices of literary\/literate knowledge, shared experience, reception, and communication. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking within an expanded concept of modernism, Flusser presciently noted the power inherent in algorithmic information apparatuses to reshape our fundamental conceptions of culture and history. In an increasingly technological world, Flusser's form of experimental theory-fiction pits philosophy against cybernetics as it forces the category of \"the human\" to confront the inhuman world of animals and machines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors to \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e engage with the multiplicity of Flusser's thought as they provide a general analysis of his work, engage in comparative readings with other philosophers, and offer expanded conceptualizations of modernism. The final section of the volume includes an extended glossary clarifying the playful terminology used by Flusser, which will be a valuable resource for experts and students alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Jaffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501386360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501386367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Aaron Jaffe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079814377727,"sku":"9781501386367","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5bea3b1-6918-40ef-92e0-0094a287a2ff.jpg?v=1685483298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-flusser-understanding-modernism-aaron-jaffe-9781501386367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
