New writing technologies, such as the personal computer and hypertext, have not only different materiality but also non-linear characteristics that provide new ways of presenting, organizing, and manipulating texts, transforming the acts of reading and composing. Just as writing and printing facilitated the preservation and sharing of knowledge, the personal computer and the hypertext have the potential to foster associative networks of concepts in text and, arguably, in the writers thinking. In this book, the...

Public Modalities: Rhetoric, Culture, Media, and the Shape of Public Life
ISBN: 9780817355852 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the ways that scholars, journalists, politicians, and citizens conceive of 'the public' or 'public life', and how those entities are defined and invented. For decades, scholars have used the metaphors of spheres, systems, webs, or networks to talk about, describe, and map various practices. This volume proposes a new metaphor - modalities - to suggest that publics are forever in flux, and much more fluid and dynamic than the static models of systems or spheres would indicate - especially in the digital age, where various publics rapidly evolve and dissipate.

ISBN: 9781412814287 / Angielski / Miękka / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The main question of our age is how we live our lives. As we struggle with this question, we face others. How do we handle ideas and knowledge, both our own and those of others? What relationship to ideas do we want? Whose ideas do we want to be surrounded by? Where do we want to think? Most choose, or have the choice made for them, according to what family, colleagues, and friends do and say and what we read about, and a more or less rational calculation of the odds. Modern ecology results from the shift in thinking generated by quantum physics and systems theory, from the old view based on...

This advancement has changed, and continues to change, human interaction. Now, instead of agreeing on a particular time well beforehand, we can iteratively work out the most convenient time and place to meet at the last possible moment on the way to the meeting or...
