Set against the background of the economic crisis wrought byneoliberalism, the book engages with recent work in contemporarymedia theory as well as with thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben, JeanBaudrillard, Guy Debord, Jacques Lacan, and Slavoj ?i?ek. Throughthese engagements, Dean defends the provocative thesis thatreflexivity in complex networks is best understood via thepsychoanalytic notion of the drives. She contends, moreover, thatreading networks in terms of the drives enables us to grasp theirreal, human dimension, that is, the feelings and affects that embedus in the system.
In remarkably clear and lucid prose, Dean links seemingly trivialand transitory updates from the new mass culture of the internet tomore fundamental changes in subjectivity and politics. Everydaycommunicative exchangesÑfrom blog posts to textmessagesÑhave widespread effects, effects that not onlyundermine capacities for democracy but also entrap us in circuitsof domination.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
