Recovering the Voice in Our Techno-Social World

On the Phone

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a response to the growing concern by social critics that we are becoming a de-voiced society through our preferences for hyper-textual, image-based forms of electronic connectivity. It interrogates the relational losses we suffer when we forget the value of the enchanting voice within immediate ear-to-ear relations.
