Although the body has been the focus of much contemporary cultural theory, the models
that are typically applied neglect the most salient characteristics of embodied existence
-- movement, affect, and sensation -- in favor of concepts derived from linguistic
theory. In Parables for the Virtual Brian Massumi views the body and media such as
television, film, and the Internet, as cultural formations that operate on multiple
registers of sensation beyond the reach of the reading techniques founded on the standard
rhetorical and semiotic models. Renewing and assessing William Jamesʹs radical empiricism
and Henri Bergsonʹs philosophy of perception through the filter of the post-war French
philosophy of Deleuze, Guattari, and Foucault, Massumi links a cultural logic of variation
to questions of movement, affect, and sensation. -- Publisher description
