Even as media in myriad forms increasingly saturate our lives, we
nonetheless tend to describe our relationship to it in terms from
the twentieth century: we are consumers of media, choosing to
engage with it. In "Feed-Forward," Mark B. N. Hansen shows just how
outmoded that way of thinking is: media is no longer separate from
us but has become an inescapable part of our very experience of the
world.
Engaging deeply with the speculative empiricism of philosopher
Alfred North Whitehead, Hansen reveals how new media call into play
elements of sensibility that deeply affect human selfhood without
in any way "belonging" to the human. From social media to
data-mining to new sensor technologies, media in the twenty-first
century work largely outside the realm of perceptual consciousness,
yet at the same time inflect our every sensation. Understanding
that paradox, Hansen shows, offers us a chance to put forward a
radically new vision of human becoming, one that enables us to
reground the human in a non-anthropocentric view of the world and
our experience in it.
