Both labor and capital and armies and commodities once moved at the same speed as the information organizing them. Over the last two centuries, social space has developed a strange folded quality, where physical space comes more and more to be doubled by a space of the movement of information. Telesthesia, or perception at a distance, comes increasingly to characterize how we see and hear and know the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow does the evolution of different communication forms affect how we can perceive and act? How can the underlying infrastructure of communication forms be detected in the events of everyday life? These are the central questions animating this book. McKenzie Wark first explores relations between metropolitan and peripheral cultures – or postcolonial relations – with close attention to the texture of events that can happen when perception is mediated. He then examines what were once called postmodern experiences, and how relations of communication create new kinds of class relations and experiences of everyday life, from 9\/11 to Occupy Wall Street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHow to Occupy an Abstraction\u003cbr\u003eFresh Maimed Babies\u003cbr\u003eNeither Here Nor There\u003cbr\u003eSpeaking Trajectories\u003cbr\u003eCruising Virilio's Overexposed City\u003cbr\u003eArchitectronics of the Multitude\u003cbr\u003eWeird Global Media Event and Vectoral Unconscious\u003cbr\u003eSecuring Security\u003cbr\u003eGame and Play in Everyday Life\u003cbr\u003eThe Gift Shop at the End of History\u003cbr\u003eFrom Intellectual Persona to Hacker Interface\u003cbr\u003eDisco Marxism vs Techno Marxism\u003cbr\u003eThe Vectoral Class and its Antipodes\u003cbr\u003eFrom Disco Marxism to Praxis (Object Oriented)\u003cbr\u003eConsiderations on A Hacker Manifesto\u003cbr\u003eAfter Politics: To the Vector the Spoils\u003cbr\u003eThe Little Sisters Are Watching You\u003cbr\u003eShit is Fucked Up and Bullshit\u003cbr\u003eLast Words and Key Words\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407324475672,"sku":"9780745653983","price":42.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745653983.jpg?v=1784161857","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/telesthesia-communication-culture-and-class-hardback-9780745653983","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
