Understanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism: Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism
Editat de Prof. Aaron Jaffe, Prof. Michael F. Miller, Prof. Rodrigo Martinien Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2023
Working 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.
The contributors to Understanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism 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.

Recenzii
Understanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism is a much-needed current toward reiterating a Flusserian significance in the contemporary philosophical discourses. . definitely a keystone for a scholar who desires to deepen the arc of disciplined and non-disciplined research.
An extraordinary collection of scholars is here assembled to provide the Jonny-come-lately Anglophone world with a critical resource for our heterochronic times. After the pandemic, what better preparation for the coming storm than this exceptionally lively and brilliantly curated collection of essays and interventions on 'the event of Flusser'-an event whose retrofuturist moment is upon us. Situated at the sweet spot between cybernetics and existentialism, media theory and 'weird' thought, Flusser's migratory work left a thousand tendrils of unfulfilled potential behind; here that mass of theoretic implication begins to twitch, to move, to speak . It's alive!
Vilém Flusser's work becomes more urgent with every new decade we enter in the twenty-first century. This brilliantly constructed volume takes the eclecticism of his oeuvre seriously, and by engaging an outstanding group of his most significant interlocutors as well as emerging voices at the nexus of modernism, media studies, and theory after humanism, Understanding Flusser, Understanding Modernism appears at the moment in which Flusser's prescience is making itself known across disciplines. This is an essential volume for anyone reading Flusser today, which should really be everyone.
An essential guide for both the novice and the expert, this wide-ranging collection traces the uniquely cosmopolitan itinerary of Flusser's life and work, introducing the major concepts while pushing his thought in new directions. As this volume shows, "media theory" is far too tidy a term for this gargantuan thinker, an event called "Flusser" that we're just beginning to process. Flusser hasn't left the building; he hasn't even arrived yet.
