Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A book depicting the intimate complicity between attention and identity. . . "You are what you pay attention to." Simone Weil famously stated: "Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity." But what, in fact, counts as attention? Especially in our discombobulated age? Seeking Attention contributes to the burgeoning discussion around "attention studies," in a novel format - one that seeks to be as accessible as it is thought-provoking. The book presents a series of short "portraits" of different archetypal figures - the detective, the fan, the shrink, the parent, the lover, and others - with a focus on the specific ways in which they pay attention (to themselves, to others, to the world, and so forth). Using this frame allows the reader to reconsider the ways in which they themselves have likely been taking their own attention for granted. The figures featured in the book share certain traits, but also exhibit their own idiosyncratic relationship to the situations and contexts in which they find themselves. In this sense, the book is a somewhat mischievous phenomenology. Each "type" represents a different relationship to attention, and thus reframes its many failures, compromises, blind-spots, and discontents. (As well as its occasional triumphs.) By paying attention to attention, this book offers a rogue's gallery of customary ways in which we not only navigate the world, but help co-create it. These thirty portraits aim to inspire readers from diverse backgrounds to think more carefully, and in a more textured way, about precisely why it is so difficult these days for us to pay attention in a sustained way. As such, the book offers some models - traditional and emerging - for practicing multi-sensual ways of being truly present: ones that potentially embody the collective will to work effectively against all the insidious avatars of the Industrial-Distraction Complex. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Ghosting: On Disappearance. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 1st. Abandonment is as old as time, but ghosting is a modern twist on this ancient experience. It translates this age-old phenomenon into our modern world of screens, delete buttons and blocking options. Ghosting is not only an unpleasant experience, or cowardly act, but a symptom of our increasingly spectral - that is, mediated and virtual - relationship to the world. The overabundance of new modes of communication has invited an almost infinite number of contacts and conversations. At the same time, it has also offered an unprecedented opportunity for ignoring messages from others. And just as we invented the car crash when we invented automobiles, we also encouraged ghosting when we created the internet.Ghosting creates an empty space in our minds: a space faithfully tracing the silhouette of the one who ghosted us. But unlike traditional ghosts, today's ghosters simply disappear, leaving behind a form of haunting that is closer to mourning: mourning for someone who is not in fact dead. In putting a kind of preemptive mourning into our everyday affairs, ghosting tells us much about the current human relationship - or non-relationship - to a shared sense of mortality, purpose, and spirit.   This book - the first sustained analysis of ghosting - traces the source of this vexed experience to, and through, our current media ecology, technological networks, political landscape, collective psychology, romantic mantras, and deep sense of social neglect.

"You are what you pay attention to."A book depicting the intimate complicity between attention and identity. . . "You are what you pay attention to."Seeking Attention presents thirty insightful "portraits" of contemporary life-from "The Hypochondriac" to "The Self-Driving Car"-charting a roadmap through today's media and technology landscape. Through these vivid sketches, Pettman examines how our awareness is shaped and contained by both the lifestyles we choose and those imposed on us, inviting readers to better understand their own behaviors and patterns of attention.Drawing on philosophy, psychology, and art criticism, Pettman navigates the highs and lows of the "attention economy" and the "industrial distraction complex," delving into how our consciousness is commodified and exploring ways to adapt and reclaim control over where-and how-we focus. With fresh insights into the vital role attention plays in both personal growth and collective well-being, Seeking Attention is an essential read for anyone interested in cultural studies, psychology, or the art of mindfulness.
