Privacy and philosophy: new media and affective protocol

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

This book draws on an array of philosophers to offer a refreshingly novel approach to privacy matters. Theorizing privacy as an affective principle of interaction between human and non-human agents, the author makes unique arguments on transparency, the publicness of subjectivity, our contemporary techno-social condition, and the nature of empathic media in an age of intentional machines. -- Publisher description.
