For this talk, I’d like to discuss how new on-line iterations of place are amalgamating pre-modern and modern modes of perception: pre-modern community where people communicated and derived meaning through intensive, full-sensory encounters with their locale; modern society where the sources and venues of information and communication exploded and yet where individuals favored centralized, advertised and mediatized attractions over the ordinary environment. Contemporary on-line civilization is even further distanced from in-place encounters, yet becoming individual producer/consumers of dense, open-source information targeted anyplace.00:55:00 hh:mm:ssengIn CopyrightMediengeschichteIndividualitätModernisierungStadtWerbungmedia historyindividualitymodernisationmodernismarchitectureadvertising302.23Travels in Outer PlaceAlberto Lattuada10.25969/mediarep/6085MAFIOSO
