Are there any indications of new, emergent codes? Is human communication going through a mutation? These are only some of the provocative questions posed by Vil m Flusser in \u003cem\u003eInto Immaterial Culture\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe four essays of this book were delivered as a series of lectures at the School of Communication and the Arts of the University of S o Paulo in August of 1986, one year after the publication of the first Brazilian edition of\u003cem\u003e Towards a Philosophy of Photography\u003c\/em\u003e, published as \u003cem\u003eA Filosofia da Caixa Preta\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough these four short essays, Flusser presents, in a nutshell, his communications theory. Their style is condensed, with a series of quick-fire sentences, which are best read in conjunction with his major works of the same period. However, for a fist time reader of his work, these four lectures are a good introduction to some of Flusser's polemic and provocative concepts regarding human communication, its future, and its ethical, aesthetic, and epistemological implications; a vision that is paradoxically utopian and dystopian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Metaflux Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780993327209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.10d","brand":"Vilem Flusser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37879586226357,"sku":"9780993327209","price":8.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5d116a40-a174-4214-913b-607d70840c19.jpg?v=1607580281","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/into-immaterial-culture-9780993327209","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
