In this book, Patricia Ticineto Clough reenergizes critical theory
by viewing poststructuralist thought through the lens of
"teletechnology", using television as a recurring case study to
illuminate the changing relationships between subjectivity,
technology, and mass media.
Autoaffection links diverse forms of cultural criticism --
feminist theory, queer theory, film theory, postcolonial theory,
Marxist cultural studies and literary criticism, the cultural
studies of science and the criticism of ethnographic writing -- to
the transformation and expansion of teletechnology in the late
twentieth century. These theoretical approaches, Clough suggests,
have become the vehicles of unconscious thought in our time.
In individual chapters, Clough juxtaposes the likes of Derridean
deconstruction, Deleuzian philosophy, and Lacanian psychoanalysis.
She works through the writings of Fredric Jameson, Donna Haraway,
Judith Butler, Bruno Latour, Nancy Fraser, Elizabeth Grosz -- to
name only a few -- placing all in dialogue with a teletechnological
framework. Clough shows how these cultural criticisms have raised
questions about the foundation of thought, allowing us to
reenvision the relationship of nature and technology, the human and
the machine, the virtual and the real, the living and the
inert.
