Complexity, Digital Media and Post Truth Politics - A Theory of Interactive Systems (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Philip Pond Complexity, Digital Media and Post Truth Politics - A Theory of Interactive Systems (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Philip Pond
R2,558 Discovery Miles 25 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book analyses the relationship between digital media systems and post truth politics. It demonstrates that the complexity of modern systems is an existential challenge for our ability to understand and research these issues. A new theory is proposed for studying complexity, explaining how system interactionism differs from established ideas, including assemblage and actor network theories. After considering the social system of Niklas Luhmann, the author proposes an interactionist methodology better equipped to deal with system complexity. A description of the logical operations of the digital and political systems is provided, establishing precedents for an analysis of the role of hypertext in shaping the emergent digital-politics. The book demonstrates how the principles of system interactionism can guide digital media research into polarisation and political language.

Digital Media and the Making of Network Temporality (Hardcover): Philip Pond Digital Media and the Making of Network Temporality (Hardcover)
Philip Pond
R1,510 Discovery Miles 15 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book presents an exciting new theory of time for a world built on hyper-fast digital media networks. Computers have changed the human social experience enormously. We're becoming familiar with many of the macro changes, but we rarely consider the complex, underlying mechanics of how a technology interacts with our social, political and economic worlds. And we cannot explain how the mechanics of a technology are being translated into social influence unless we understand the role of time in that process. Offering an original reconsideration of temporality, Philip Pond explains how super-powerful computers and global webs of connection have remade time through speed. The book introduces key developments in network time theory and explains their importance, before presenting a new model of time which seeks to reconcile the traditionally separate subjective and objective approaches to time theory and measurement.
