The digital era promises, as did many other technological developments before it, the transformation of society: with the computer, we can transcend time, space, and politics-as-usual. In The Digital Sublime, Vincent Mosco goes beyond the usual stories of technological breakthrough and economic meltdown to explore the myths constructed around the new digital technology and why we feel compelled to believe in them. He tells us that what kept enthusiastic investors in the dotcom era bidding up stocks even after the crash had begun was not willful ignorance of the laws of economics but belief in the myth that cyberspace was opening up a new world.<br /> <br /> Myths are not just falsehoods that can be disproved, Mosco points out, but stories that lift us out of the banality of everyday life into the possibility of the sublime. He argues that if we take what we know about cyberspace and situate it within what we know about culture -- specifically the central post-Cold War myths of the end of history, geography, and politics -- we will add to our knowledge about the digital world; we need to see it "with both eyes" -- that is, to understand it both culturally and materially.<br /> <br /> After examining the myths of cyberspace and going back in history to look at the similar mythic pronouncements prompted by past technological advances -- the telephone, the radio, and television, among others -- Mosco takes us to Ground Zero. In the final chapter he considers the twin towers of the World Trade Center -- our icons of communication, information, and trade -- and their part in the politics, economics, and myths of cyberspace.

评分看了这本书,还怎么看各种科幻小说?文森特·莫斯可脑洞大开,从神话讲到现代乌托邦,从政治经济分析扩展到意识形态解构,把各种赛博空间论述的生物隐喻彻底剥了个精光。没错,当代人对数字化的幻想、执念和美化,不过是一件皇帝的新装。 从泰勒到列维斯特劳斯,神话(迷思)...
评分•何为迷思 在文森特•莫斯可的论述中,迷思(myth)是指“那些能够激活个体和社会的叙事,能够为人们提供途径,使他们得以超越平凡的日常生活;它们能够提供通向另一种现实的入口,这种现实以崇高的许诺为特征。”它没有真假之分,只有活着的或死去的区分。在大约十年前,...
