The term "network" is now applied to everything from the Internet
to terrorist-cell systems. But the word's ubiquity has also made it
a cliche, a concept at once recognizable yet hard to explain.
Network Aesthetics, in exploring how popular culture mediates our
experience with interconnected life, reveals the network's role as
a way for people to construct and manage their world-and their view
of themselves. Each chapter considers how popular media and
artistic forms make sense of decentralized network metaphors and
infrastructures. Patrick Jagoda first examines narratives from the
1990s and 2000s, including the novel Underworld, the film Syriana,
and the television series The Wire, all of which play with network
forms to promote reflection on domestic crisis and imperial decline
in contemporary America. Jagoda then looks at digital media that
are interactive, nonlinear, and dependent on connected audiences to
show how recent approaches, such as those in the videogame Journey,
open up space for participatory and improvisational thought.
Contributing to fields as diverse as literary criticism, digital
studies, media theory, and American studies, Network Aesthetics
brilliantly demonstrates that, in today's world, networks are
something that can not only be known, but also felt, inhabited,
and, crucially, transformed.
