Feeling Mediated
2014
Overview
New technologies, whether text message or telegraph, inevitably
raise questions about emotion. New forms of communication bring
with them both fear and hope, on one hand allowing us deeper
emotional connections and the ability to forge global communities,
while on the other prompting anxieties about isolation and
over-stimulation. Feeling Mediated investigates the larger context
of such concerns, considering both how media technologies intersect
with our emotional lives and how our ideas about these
intersections influence how we think about and experience emotion
and technology themselves. Drawing on extensive archival research,
Brenton J. Malin explores the historical roots of much of our
recent understanding of mediated feelings, showing how earlier
ideas about the telegraph, phonograph, radio, motion pictures, and
other once-new technologies continue to inform our contemporary
thinking. With insightful analysis, Feeling Mediated explores a
series of fascinating arguments about technology and emotion that
became especially heated during the early 20th century. These
debates, which carried forward and transformed earlier discussions
of technology and emotion, culminated in a set of ideas that became
institutionalized in the structures of American media production,
advertising, social research, and policy, leaving a lasting impact
on our everyday lives.
