Regarding Zizek: "Cyberspace, Or, The Unbearable Closure of Being" from chapter 4 of _The Plague of Fantasies_and his analysis of MIT's SixthSense in _Living in the End Times_ might be of interest to you, Carmel. Best, Nathan On Feb 26, 2012, at 3:46 PM, Carmel Vaisman wrote:
Dear all,
I would appreciate your help in finding papers and books that employ philosophical concepts to explain the impact of current technology or even predict human change based on social media and digital culture. For example, Slavoy Zizek's latest writing, Roger Silverstone's writing on "proper distance", Bauman's writing on presence and mobile telephony and even Turkle's latest book. Anything similar goes.
Thank you,
