Parables for the Virtual

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between body and media, Massumi's work integrates radical empiricism and philosophies of perception to examine cultural formations across various mediums. He challenges traditional dichotomies by emphasizing distinctions between stasis and motion, as well as actual and virtual experiences. Through diverse examples, including architecture and digital art, the text weaves together cultural theory, philosophy, and science, presenting a nuanced argument that has become foundational for interdisciplinary studies in the humanities.
