The term "emerging media " responds to the "big data " now
available as a result of the larger role digital media play in
everyday life, as well as the notion of "emergence " that has grown
across the architecture of science and technology over the last two
decades with increasing imbrication. The permeation of everyday
life by emerging media is evident, ubiquitous, and destined to
accelerate. No longer are images, institutions, social networks,
thoughts, acts of communication, emotions and speech-the "media "
by means of which we express ourselves in daily life-linked to
clearly demarcated, stable entities and contexts. Instead, the loci
of meaning within which these occur shift and evolve quickly,
emerging in far-reaching ways we are only beginning to learn and
bring about. This volume's purpose is to develop, broaden and spark
future philosophical discussion of emerging media and their ways of
shaping and reshaping the habitus within which everyday lives are
to be understood. Drawing from the history of philosophy ideas of
influential thinkers in the past, intellectual path makers on the
contemporary scene offer new philosophical perspectives, laying the
groundwork for future work in philosophy and in media studies. On
diverse topics such as identity, agency, reality, mentality, time,
aesthetics, representation, consciousness, materiality, emergence,
and human nature, the questions addressed here consider the extent
to which philosophy should or should not take us to be facing a
fundamental transformation.
