Jussi Parikka - Insect Media

Since the early nineteenth century, when entomologists first popularized the unique biological and behavioral characteristics of insects, technological innovators and theorists have proposed insects as templates for a wide range of technologies. In Insect Media, Jussi Parikka analyzes how insect forms of social organization-swarms, hives, webs, and distributed intelligence-have been used to structure modern media technologies and the network society, providing a radical new perspective on the interconnection of biology and technology.

Through close engagement with the pioneering work of insect ethologists, including Jakob von Uexküll and Karl von Frisch, posthumanist philosophers, media theorists, and contemporary filmmakers and artists, Parikka develops an insect theory of media, one that conceptualizes modern media as more than the products of individual human actors, social interests, or technological determinants. They are, rather, profoundly nonhuman phenomena that both draw on and mimic the alien lifeworlds of insects.

Deftly moving from the life sciences to digital technology, from popular culture to avant-garde art and architecture, and from philosophy to cybernetics and game theory, Parikka provides innovative conceptual tools for exploring the phenomena of network society and culture. Challenging anthropocentric approaches to contemporary science and culture, Insect Media reveals the possibilities that insects and other nonhuman animals offer for rethinking media, the conflation of biology and technology, and our understanding of, and interaction with, contemporary digital culture.

@Hermetico Nije baš isto, ali slučajno upravo sa ćerkom čitam ovo:

Kako životinje govore i kako da ih bolje razumemo. Primereno je deci, ali ozbiljno obrađuje temu, tako da mislim da mogu da pređem i na literaturu za odrasle. Hvala na preporuci!

U knjizi ima dosta primera dečje literature. Nije ona neozbiljna i često je pionirska u svojoj oblasti. Čitam i ja knjige za decu, često i rado. Nema na čemu.

Posle jedno dva tuceta non-fiction knjiga (uglavnom istorija, biografije i sl) uzeh jednu fiction: Simone de Beauvoir - The Blood of Others ... kao, da presečem (mada je i to istorijska fikcija). Nisam čitao ranije mme de Beauvoir - ona moćno piše! Emotivno, dubinski, a i relevantno za današnjicu... našao sam i francuski original, da uporedim (premda je moj francuski daleko od toga da mogu lagodno ovo da čitam). Postoji istoimeni film (ima jadne recenzije, ali ću da ga - posle čitanja - svakako odgledam obzirom da igraju Jodie Foster i Sam Neill... i da ga je režirao Chabrol!)

Sad čitam Jackie Orr - Panic Diaries: A Genealogy of Panic Disorder. O uticaju shvatanja panike. razvoju načina na koje se ona širi (i razvoja njene upotrebe u razne svrhe) na ljudsko društvo. Iako je objektivna kulturna analiza, nekako je uspela da bude namenjena naročito onima koji pate od napada panike (i sama autorka živi paniku). Da kulturna analiza bude toliko objektivna i toliko lična moraš biti jebeni genije, to dvoje se bukvalno množi i pravi nešto više i od analize i od ispovesti.

Part cultural history, part sociological critique, and part literary performance, Panic Diaries explores the technological and social construction of individual and collective panic. Jackie Orr looks at instances of panic and its “cures” in the twentieth-century United States: from the mass hysteria following the 1938 radio broadcast of H. G. Wells’s War of the Worlds to an individual woman swallowing a pill to control the “panic disorder” officially recognized by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980. Against a backdrop of Cold War anxieties over atomic attack, Orr highlights the entanglements of knowledge and power in efforts to reconceive panic and its prevention as problems in communication and information feedback. Throughout, she reveals the shifting techniques of power and social engineering underlying the ways that scientific and social scientific discourses—including crowd psychology, Cold War cybernetics, and contemporary psychiatry—have rendered panic an object of technoscientific management.

Orr, who has experienced panic attacks herself, kept a diary of her participation as a research subject in clinical trials for the Upjohn Company’s anti-anxiety drug Xanax. This “panic diary” grounds her study and suggests the complexity of her desire to track the diffusion and regulation of panic in U.S. society. Orr’s historical research, theoretical reflections, and biographical narrative combine in this remarkable and compelling genealogy, which documents the manipulation of panic by the media, the social sciences and psychiatry, the U.S. military and government, and transnational drug companies.

vrlo verovatno najbolja autobiografija koju sam čitao do sada, direktno, poučno i zabavno.

strašan tip oliver stoun.

ne znam tačno šta sam očekivao od ove knjige ali definitivno to nešto nisam dobio.

na momente jako teško za praćenje:

"Ovaj rekao ovome da su on i još jedan otišli tamo, a belgijska policija navodno..."

još citira onu odrtavelu žbirčinu Božu Spasića uz ogradu "da eto možda (Boža) piše neistine".

inače autor je brat novinara Vuka Cvijića.

Počela sam da čitam "Die deutsche Krankheit - German Angst" nemačke spisateljice Sabine Bode. Izgleda da nije prevedena kod nas, ali za jednu drugu njenu knjigu sam videla da postoji hrvatski prevod ("Zaboravljena generacija").

Tema su uvek posledice Drugog svetskog rata na razvoj nemačkog društva, kolektivna krivica, transgeneracijsko prenošenje trauma i njihove posledice, sve do danas. Bitna tema za svu "decu rata", što smo u stvari svi mi.

Procitala i zaista sve preporuke. Ja sam u stvari tek nakon dosta godina svoje profesionalne karijere zaista shvatila tj. dozvolila sebi da osetim koliko masovno, intenzivno i dalekosezno, transgeneracijski, su ratovi (za Nemce Drugi svetski, za ljude iz bivse Jugoslavije i taj a, jos vise, i svi nasi gradjanski ratovi) uticali na pojedinacne zivote ljudi i celokupnih drustava i koliko je proces suocavanja i zaceljivanja bolan i spor, ali i neophodan kako proslost ne bismo ziveli svi mi i u nama samima i oko nas, u raznim varijantama, sto se nazalost i nama upravo desava.

Sad pocinjem sa "oldtajmerom", Ekmanovim Telling Lies (Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage)...

...a pocetak mi se cini kao nastavak

It is September 15, 1938, and one of the most infamous and deadly of deceits is about to begin. Adolf Hitler, the chancellor of Germany, and Neville Chamberlain, the prime minister of Great Britain, meet for the first time. The world watches, aware that this may be the last hope of avoiding another world war. (Just six months earlier Hitler's troops had marched into Austria, annexing it to Germany. England and France had protested but done nothing further.) On September 12, three days before he is to meet Chamberlain, Hitler demands to have part of Czechoslovakia annexed to Germany and incites rioting in that country. Hitler has already secretly mobilized the German Army to attack Czechoslovakia, but his army won't be ready until the end of September.

If he can keep the Czechs from mobilizing their army for a few more weeks, Hitler will have the advantage of a surprise attack. Stalling for time, Hitler conceals his war plans from Chamberlain, giving his word that peace can be preserved if the Czechs will meet his demands. Chamberlain is fooled; he tries to persuade the Czechs not to mobilize their army while there is a still a chance to negotiate with Hitler. After his meeting with Hitler, Chamberlain writes to his sister, "...in spite of the hardness and ruthlessness I thought I saw in his face, I got the impression that here was a man who could be relied upon when he had given his word..." Defending his policies against those who doubt Hitler's word, Chamberlain five days later in a speech to Parliament explains that his personal contact with Hitler allows him to say that Hitler "means what he says".
