What does the nature of connectivity tell us about interpersonal and community relationships? What ethical concerns are raised through an always-on culture?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunication 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Web 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Web 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T\u0026F","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091994632343,"sku":"9780415703802","price":3393.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415703802.webp?v=1769205434","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-death-of-web-2-0-9780415703802","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
