Since the Cold War, Americans and Russians alike have cultivated a
special fascination with the workings and failures of
communication. Each has accused the other of media jamming and
propaganda, posed competing claims to expression and creativity,
and even released mirroring rumors of telepathic connections and
interstellar contacts. Technologies for Intuition explores the ways
in which people hone techniques to discern and describe channels
and contacts, including those that seem weak and failed, or blocked
and invisible. Specifically, it explores stagings of communicative
"energy" through paranormal experiments in telepathy, drills to
build theatrical empathy, and other phenomena. The author examines
settings where media and performance professionals encounter
neophytes, where insiders mix with foreigners, and where skeptics
debate naifs. Moving back and forth across geopolitical borders,
the book shows how the phenomena at hand have developed through
historical events and relations, in conflict and in conversation.
The author suggests that Cold War preoccupations and strategies
have marked theoretical models of communication and mediation, even
while infusing everyday, practical technologies for intuition.
