UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:130119474 AB - Increasingly, the virtual became reality by a hybridization of the world as we knew it: the process that went on in recent years is one of a technically assisted hybridization of both space and self, the »old« world is becoming virtualized and functionalized to a degree never experienced before. For the first time in human history, we have reached a threshold where we have not only to re-assert but to redefine ourselves, as regards our fundamental terms of understanding what world means for us, our base of existence and now an assemblage of mixed realities; and connected, what being human means. With a Preface by Gerd Stern. »Eine interessante und perspektivenreiche Sammlung, die sich zentralen Beobachtungen und Problemstellungen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts widmet.« Solvejg Nitzke, MEDIENwissenschaft, 1 (2015) ER -
