Sherry Turkle Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Argues that today's digital culture is undermining relationships, creativity, and productivity, and pushes for the return of face-to-face interaction among people

¿Hemos sacrificado la conversación por la conexión? Estamos sumidos en la cultura digital y en un estado de constante conexión. Hemos desarrollado afición por las interacciones sociales virtuales dentro de los ámbitos del trabajo, la familia, la amistad, la educación y las relaciones sentimentales, sin advertir el peligro que ello comporta. Casi sin darnos cuenta, hemos abandonado la conversación cara a cara. Sherry Turkle, la principal especialista en la interacción entre las nuevas tecnologías y el ser humano, analiza en este libro las desastrosas consecuencias de la pérdida de la conversación que hemos experimentado en los últimos años, que hace peligrar lo que nos define como seres humanos. En defensa de la conversación es una cautivadora apología del valor fundamental de las conversaciones cara a cara en todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida y una llamada a recuperar el terreno perdido.

Google, Facebook, E-mail und Online-Games haben unser Leben fest im Griff. Wie wird unsere Zukunft aussehen? Wir wollten sie als smarte „Diener“ unseres Alltags, nun sind sie unsere Herren. Sie sollten uns helfen, Zeit zu sparen, nun sind sie zu Zeitfressern sondergleichen geworden. Wir wollten sie programmieren, jetzt programmieren sie uns. Wenn insbesondere junge Leute hemmungslos in Blogs, Chats, Kontaktforen und Onlinewelten abtauchen, hat das einen tieferen Psychologischen Grund: Menschliche Beziehungen erscheinen zunehmend kompliziert und verletzend. Dafür bietet das Netz Kontakt ohne wahre Intimität, Gemeinschaft ohne Risiko, Nähe mit ausreichendem Sicherheitsabstand. Der moderne Mensch hat oft 100 Facebook-Friends, aber keinen einzigen echten Freund. Computer und Internet geben uns die Freiheit, überall zu arbeiten – in Wahrheit sind wir überall „gemeinsam einsam“. Sherry Turkle zeigt, wie Technologien zunehmend die Funktionsweise unseres Geistes und unser Gefühlsleben beeinflussen. Sie führt uns mit aktuellen Studien und drastischen Fallbeispielen vor Augen, welche ernsten Konsequenzen die gedankenlose Hingabe an die digitalen Verführer hat. Aber sie verdammt die Cyberwelt keineswegs als Teufelszeug. Denn wir haben durchaus die Chance, ihre immer grenzenloseren Möglichkeiten verantwortungsvoll zu nutzen.

Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends, and confusing tweets and wall posts with authentic communication. But this relentless connection leads to a new solitude.

For over two decades, Sherry Turkle has explored how technology shapes our private lives in landmark studies. In her latest work, she reveals her process of understanding how our creations influence our self-perception, combining the perspectives of memoirist, clinician, and ethnographer to craft an inner history of devices. The narrative covers a range of objects, from cell phones and video poker to prosthetic eyes and dialysis machines. Turkle advocates for an "intimate ethnography" that questions conventional beliefs. One personal computer owner expresses a profound connection, stating, "This computer means everything to me. It's where I put my hope." This prompts Turkle to shift her inquiry from how computers are used to what makes them so deeply meaningful. The work invites readers to listen for deeper insights, presenting stories of an American student reconciling her identities through a cell phone used in Japan, a patient using email to navigate her relationship with her therapist, and a compulsive gambler who prefers the unpredictability of video poker. Through these narratives, we uncover untold stories and recognize that conventional wisdom often falls short in capturing the complexities of our interactions with technology.

The Reader focuses on the practices of modern and contemporary science and technology located in different national and institutional settings, with some attention to non- Western contexts. By mapping some of the open questions and points of tension likely to occupy the field for years to come, the essays in the Reader cast fresh light on what "science" means at the end of the twentieth century.

-Unsere Gesellschaft postuliert bis heute den in sich zentrierten Menschen mit einer klar erkennbaren Persönlichkeit, einem Wesen, einem Charakter. Das entspricht nicht unserer Natur. Das Internet bietet jede Menge Selbsterfahrung, und eine wichtige Einsicht ist: Ich bin viele.-

In 1914, Freud predicted that the ultimate challenge for psychoanalysis would arise where resistance was strongest, particularly wary of America's potential distortion of his core doctrines. Among Western nations, France exhibited the longest resistance to Freud, but by the late 1960s, it experienced a profound 'infatuation with Freudianism.' This culminated in a rich psychoanalytic culture, largely shaped by Jacques Lacan's reinterpretation of Freudian theory, which resonated with the societal shifts following the 1968 uprisings. While psychoanalysis in the U.S. became tied to a conservative medical establishment, the French revival of Freud aligned with radical philosophical and political movements. Sherry Turkle narrates Lacan's influential role in shaping the French psyche, offering insights into how cultures adopt and adapt theories of the mind. This second edition includes a preface that discusses the cultural conditions for the acceptance of philosophical ideas and a final chapter, "Dynasty 1991," detailing Lacan's later years and the ensuing power struggles within his school after his death in 1981. The book serves as a comprehensive introduction to Lacan's teachings and provides an intimate sociology of how ideas resonate with individuals, making it essential for those interested in psychoanalysis, history, social theory, and related fields.
