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.
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.
