Opis

Anecdotal Evidence reveals the deep intertwining of history and ecology in culture, extending to the infrastructure of streaming video media and mass image databases. An original take on Anthropocene anxieties and technological paranoia, the book proposes that the digital humanities still need the traditional skills of close reading to understand our contemporary condition.

Recenzje

As one of ecomedia's long-standing leading scholars, Cubitt's Anecdotal Evidence challenges its readers to break from our entrenched and unsustainable current path dependencies. The point is not to imagine some better but endlessly deferred future but to recover what is possible in the present.
