Description
Teletheory by Gregory L. Ulmer explores the shift from literacy to electracy in our media age. Building on his earlier work, this revised edition offers a new perspective on the modes of inquiry that underpin electronic culture. Ulmer examines the relationship between philosophy, science, and image rhetoric, drawing on Roland Barthes' ideas to develop a unique approach to understanding the role of the image in shaping our experience of reality. He also explores the potential of collage-montage as a logic, leading to a new poetics that is grounded in the principles of critical theory and videography. Through his analysis, Ulmer aims to establish a position of singularity, one that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the nature of knowledge and reality in the digital age.
