Love in Contemporary Technoculture

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 March 2022
Ania Malinowska


Summary
This Element outlines the environments of loving in contemporary 
technoculture and explains the changes in the manner of feelings 
(including the experience of senses, spaces, and temporalities) in 
technologically mediated relationships. Synchronic and retrospective in 
its approach, this Element defines affection (romance, companionship, 
intimacy etc.) in the reality marked by the material and affective 
'intangibility' that has emerged from the rise of digitalism and 
technological advancement. Analysing the (re)constructions of intimacy, 
it describes our sensual and somatic experiences in conditions where the 
human body, believed to be extending itself by means of the media and 
technological devices, is in fact the extension of the media and their 
technologies. It is a study that outlines shifts and continuums in the 
'practices of togetherness' and which critically rereads late modern 
paradigms of emotional and affective experiences, filling a gap in the 
existing critical approaches to technological and technologized love.
