Description

This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched.In The Digital Logic of Death, Steven Pustay skillfully makes visible the immensely important but often overlooked role that moving images play in shaping our understanding of mortality. This relationship, he argues, is made all the more urgent by the technologies of the digital age, which have profoundly altered our ability to represent and contemplate death through moving images, resulting in an entirely new cultural logic of death. To draw out this new logic, Pustay presents accessible readings of otherwise dense and difficult philosophical approaches to death – such as those found in existentialism, psychoanalysis, and critical theory – by reading them through the lens of contemporary media. From art-house films like Irréversible and The Fountain to blockbusters like the Matrix trilogy, from television commercials for M&M’s to pay-cable dramas like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, from first-person shooters like Bioshock to indie-games like LIMBO, Pustay shows how moving images have shifted our understanding of death in general and our recognition of our own finiteness in particular. Review This book offers an original understanding of death in the digital age where simulations of death are replacing our understanding of death and what it means to be human. Via well-chosen case studies and thought provoking observations it argues that the digital logic of death actually emphasizes that our finitude is (and remains in the digital age) what makes us human. --Patricia Pisters, Professor of Media and Film Studies, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands About the Author Steven Pustay has taught film theory and world cinema at colleges in Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, and Colorado, USA.
