new book ‘The Amplification of Sense’

Available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/if1B0wH

This book is the outcome of interdisciplinary research at the 
intersection of media theory, phenomenology, and artistic practice 
across film, dance, literature, and music.

 From the 'Foreword':

'This brief preamble presents the theoretical background and practical 
reasons for why I hope this book will be as engaging and exciting for 
you to read as it has been for me to write. The book results from 
numerous years of artistic and academic re- search. It attempts to 
bridge the gap between theory and practice in artistic and academic 
fields concerned with the senses, percep- tion, media, and technology. 
Through artistic case studies, it also explores the ambiguous 
relationship between perception and technology, and offers a critique of 
everyday life. What emerges is a strong philosophical take on the roles 
of the sensorium, tech- nology, and the social habitus.

Research pathways into intermedia theory and practice are here for 
scholars and students investigating media theory, phe- nomenology, 
artistic practices, and temporal perception, across film, dance, 
literature, and music. These also serve artist-re- searchers interested 
in intermedia praxis that relates to the per- ception of time. But 
beyond this, the book is dedicated to people who wish to restore 
attention to the sensorium and to the eco- system we share with 
other-than-human species. In support of this, the Appendix includes 
exercises to apply the concepts and experiments discussed in the book’s 
theoretical framework.

In relation to current academic discourse, the book is in dialogue with 
the writings of post-feminist thinkers Donna Har- away and Judith 
Butler; it also connects with the forebears of continental phenomenology 
Edmund Husserl and Marcel Mer- leau-Ponty, as well as the 
post-structuralist Gilles Deleuze, and – through the writings of Watsuji 
Tetsurô, Yasuo Yuasa, and the Kyoto School’s pre-eminent philosopher, 
Kitaro Nishida – en- larges these relationships by linking Japanese 
philosophy to the Western phenomenological tradition.'
