With all of our contemporary connectivity, are we really connected?

What does the nature of connectivity tell us about interpersonal and community relationships?

What ethical concerns are raised through an always-on culture?

Communication in today’s world is characterised by a condition of persistent, semi-permanent connectivity, which seems to bring us closer together but which can also be profoundly alienating. The Death of Web 2.0 takes a retrospective look at a moment in recent media history that has had, and will continue to have, a lasting impact upon the predominant attitude towards cultures of connectivity. Greg Singh draws from a range of approaches, intellectual traditions and scholarly disciplines to engage key questions underpinning the contemporary communications media ecosystem.

Bringing together influences from communitarian ethics, recognition theory, and relational and depth psychology, Singh synthesises key approaches to produce a critical inquiry that projects the tensions at the heart of connectivity as a principle of Web 2.0. He argues that Web 2.0 is a cultural moment that is truly over, and that what is popularly described as "Web 2.0" is an altogether different set of principles and practices. The Death of Web 2.0 recognises the consequences of our "always-on" culture, where judgments are made quickly and where impacts can be far-reaching, affecting our relationships, wellbeing, mental health, and the health of our communities, and it concludes by asking what an ethics of connectivity would look like.

This unique interdisciplinary work will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, media and cultural studies and psychosocial studies as well as anyone interested in the social implications of new media.

Greg Singh is Associate Professor in Media and Communications and Programme Director of Digital Media at the University of Stirling, UK. His previous books include Film After Jung: Post-Jungian Approaches to Film Theory and Feeling Film: Affect and Authenticity in Popular Cinema (both Routledge), and he has also published on topics including celebrity, YouTube and lifestyle television.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在當今的連結環境中,我們真的連結了嗎?

連結的本質告訴我們有關人際和社區關係的什麼?

在一個隨時在線的文化中,提出了哪些倫理問題?

當今世界的溝通特徵是持續的、半永久的連結狀態,這似乎讓我們更親近,但也可能深刻地使人疏離。《Web 2.0的死亡》回顧了近期媒體歷史中的一個時刻,這一時刻對於連結文化的主導態度產生了持久的影響,並將繼續影響下去。Greg Singh從多種方法、智識傳統和學術學科中汲取靈感,探討當代通信媒體生態系統的關鍵問題。

Singh結合了社群倫理、認同理論以及關係和深度心理學的影響,綜合關鍵方法,進行批判性探究,揭示了連結作為Web 2.0原則核心的緊張關係。他主張Web 2.0是一個真正結束的文化時刻,而流行所描述的“Web 2.0”則是一套完全不同的原則和實踐。《Web 2.0的死亡》認識到我們的“隨時在線”文化的後果,在這裡判斷迅速做出,影響深遠,影響我們的關係、福祉、心理健康以及社區的健康,並以提出連結倫理的樣貌作為結尾。

這部獨特的跨學科作品將成為學者和學生在榮格及後榮格研究、媒體與文化研究以及心理社會研究領域的必讀書籍,還有任何對新媒體的社會影響感興趣的人。
