In the Land of the Unreal
Author: Lisa Messeri
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478059222
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
In the mid-2010s, a passionate community of Los Angeles-based storytellers, media artists, and tech innovators formed around virtual reality (VR), believing that it could remedy society’s ills. Lisa Messeri offers an ethnographic exploration of this community, which conceptualized VR as an “empathy machine” that could provide glimpses into diverse social realities. She outlines how, in the aftermath of #MeToo, the backlash against Silicon Valley, and the turmoil of the Trump administration, it was imagined that VR—if led by women and other marginalized voices—could bring about a better world. Messeri delves into the fantasies that allowed this vision to flourish, exposing the paradox of attempting to use a singular VR experience to mend a fractured reality full of multiple, conflicting social truths. She theorizes this dynamic as unreal, noting how dreams of empathy collide with reality’s irreducibility to a “common” good. With In the Land of the Unreal, Messeri navigates the intersection of place, technology, and social change to show that technology alone cannot upend systemic forces attached to gender and race.

Singular Horizons
Author: Dan Bune
Publisher: Cadeus Solutions LLC
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
In the boundless tapestry of speculative fiction, "Singular Horizons" beckons readers to embark on an extraordinary odyssey through the unexplored realms of nested simulations, cosmic architects, and the enigmatic concept of singularity. As humanity teeters on the brink of its inaugural technological singularity — a momentous convergence of innovation and human brilliance — a revelation unfolds, revealing that our universe is not a mere happenstance of cosmic forces. At the heart of this narrative lies the intricate design crafted by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations — the Pleiadeans and the Arcturians. These cosmic architects, creators of universes, have woven a complex web of simulations, each birthing its own reality through the mysterious portal of the singularity. But the story takes an unforeseen turn as we unveil a profound truth: Terra humans, in their earthly existence, are not only living out their human lives but are also playing characters in the Pleiadean and Arcturian Universes simultaneously. Multi-dimensionality blurs the lines between realities, introducing a cosmic dance that transcends conventional understanding. As the anticipation of humanity's singularity intensifies, so does the interconnected nature of these nested simulations. Characters from different dimensions grapple with ethical dilemmas, philosophical reflections, and the cosmic unraveling that threatens the very fabric of reality. Interdimensional communication becomes a bridge between civilizations, shaping the destiny of characters and civilizations alike. The resolution of this cosmic saga transcends the boundaries of singularities, offering transformative insights into existence, consciousness, and the evolving nature of simulated universes. The epilogue invites readers to contemplate the multi-dimensional nature of Terra humans, posing questions that echo across the vast expanse of singular horizons. "Singular Horizons" invites you to peer into the cosmic tapestry, where the convergence of singularities intertwines the fates of civilizations and beckons humanity to explore the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the threshold of singularity. Join us in a journey that challenges preconceptions, blurs the lines between realities, and leaves an indelible mark on the very fabric of speculative fiction.

Fractured Ground
Author: Kimberly R. Wagner
Publisher: Presbyterian Publishing Corp
ISBN: 1646982916
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Mass trauma is an unavoidable reality in the United States. Trauma from violence, natural disasters, and disease has become all too familiar in the American experience, inevitably raising questions about where God is to be found in the midst of such tragedies. In every case, the aftermath leaves communities’ sense of well-being broken and capacity to imagine a way forward thwarted. Though language often fails us in the midst of trauma, preachers and religious leaders are nevertheless called on to offer a Word. Fractured Ground helps pastors craft sermons that fully plumb the disorienting suffering created by events of mass trauma, while still offering an authentic word of hope. Kimberly Wagner provides both incisive explanations of what trauma is and especially how it affects communities of faith, along with practical guidance for crafting sermons that reflect the brokenness of the traumatic situation and the persistent love of God that binds the broken together. Drawing on the burgeoning field of trauma studies, eschatological theologies of hope, scriptural wisdom, and liturgies of lament, Wagner helps preachers imagine what it might mean to preach a narratively fractured sermon in the aftermath of a communal traumatic event, ultimately affirming that no amount of brokenness is beyond the presence and promise of God.

Shooting the Family
Author: Patricia Pisters
Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
ISBN: 905356750X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Shooting the Family, a collection of essays on the contemporary media landscape, explores ever-changing representations of family life on a global scale. The contributors argue that new recording technologies allows families an unusual kind of freedom—until now unknown—to define and respond to their own lives and memories. Recently released videos made by young émigrés as they discover new homelands and resolve conflicts with their parents, for example, reverberate alongside the dark portrayals of family life in the formal filmmaking of Ang Lee. This book will be a boon to scholars of film theory and media studies, as well as to anyone interested in the construction of the family in a postmodern world.

Circulating Fear
Author: Lindsay Nelson
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793613680
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Circulating Fear: Japanese Horror, Fractured Realities, and New Media explores the changing role of screens, new media objects, and social media in Japanese horror films from the 2010s to present day. Lindsay Nelson places these films and their paratexts in the context of changes in the new media landscape that have occurred since J-horror's peak in the early 2000s; in particular, the rise of social media and the ease of user remediation through platforms like YouTube and Niconico. This book demonstrates how Japanese horror film narratives have shifted their focus from old media—video cassettes, TV, and cell phones—to new media—social media, online video sharing, and smart phones. In these films, media devices and new media objects exist both inside and outside the frame: they are central to the films’ narratives, but they are also the means through which the films are consumed and disseminated. Across a multitude of screens, platforms, devices, and perspectives, Nelson argues, contemporary Japanese horror films are circulated as an ever-shifting series of images and fragments, creating a sense of “fractured reality” in the films’ narratives and the media landscape that surrounds them. Scholars of film studies, horror studies, media studies, and Japanese studies will find this book particularly useful.

Liberation through Reconciliation
Author: O. Ernesto Valiente

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
In the past one hundred years alone, more than 200 million people have been killed as a consequence of systematic repression, political revolutions, or ethnic or religious war. The legacy of such violence lingers long after the immediate conflict. Drawing on the author’s experiences of his native El Salvador, Liberation through Reconciliation builds on Jon Sobrino’s thought to construct a Christian spirituality and theology of reconciliation that overcomes conflict by attending to the demands of truth, justice, and forgiveness.
