商品描述

This book shows that screens don't just distribute the visible and the invisible, but have always mediated our body's relationships with the physical and anthropological-cultural environment. By combining a series of historical-genealogical reconstructions going back to prehistoric times with the analysis of present and near-future technologies, the authors show that screens have always incorporated not only the hiding/showing functions but also the protecting/exposing ones, as the Covid-19 pandemic retaught us. The intertwining of these functions allows the authors to criticize the mainstream ideas of images as inseparable from screens, of words as opposed to images, and of what they call "Transparency 2.0" ideology, which currently dominates our socio-political life. Moreover, they show how wearable technologies don't approximate us to a presumed disappearance of screens but seem to draw a circular pathway back to using our bodies as screens. This raises new relational, ethical, and political questions, which this book helps to illuminate.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書顯示，螢幕不僅僅是分配可見與不可見的媒介，還一直在調節我們的身體與物理及人類文化環境之間的關係。透過結合一系列追溯至史前時代的歷史-系譜重建與對當前及近未來技術的分析，作者展示了螢幕不僅包含隱藏/顯示的功能，還有保護/暴露的功能，正如 Covid-19 大流行重新教會我們的那樣。這些功能的交織使得作者能夠批評主流觀念，即影像與螢幕不可分割、文字與影像對立，以及他們所稱的「透明度 2.0」意識形態，這種意識形態目前主導著我們的社會政治生活。此外，他們還展示了可穿戴技術並未使我們接近螢幕的假定消失，而是似乎繪製了一條回到使用我們的身體作為螢幕的循環路徑。這引發了新的關係、倫理和政治問題，而這本書有助於闡明這些問題。
