Zerstresst!: Spannungen Zwischen Ästhetischem Und Politischem, (Paperback)

<p>Fragmentation, simultaneity and overstimulation characterize our present-day world. Events appear in a flood of short messages, shared screenshots, or TikToks. The images in such media are fast, fluctuating, affective - they lead to stress and are stressed in themselves. This volume examines the phenomenon of media overload from an interdisciplinary perspective and proposes a new interpretative model for the visual cultures of our (digital) age with the concept of <i>Zerstressung</i>. Examining (resistant) image and knowledge practices, glitches, the Anthropocene era, and cultures of remembrance, the chapters discuss Zerstressung as an aesthetic as well as a political concept.</p><ul> <li>New aesthetic as well as (image)-theoretical perspectives on stress</li> <li>Examining visual overburdening in digital cultures</li> <li>Establishing the idea of <i>Zerstressung</i> as an aesthetical, political and analytical figure</li></ul><p></p>
