In The Body and the Screen Michele White suggests that users can more properly be understood as spectators rendered and regulated by technologies and representations, for whom looking and the mediation of the screen are significant aspects of engagement. Drawing on apparatus and feminist psychoanalytic film theories, art history, gender studies, queer theory, critical race and postcolonial studies, and other theories of cultural production, White conceptualizes Internet and computer spectatorship and provides theoretical models that can be employed in other analyses. She offers case studies and close visual and textual analysis of the construction of spectatorship in different settings. White shows that despite the onscreen promise of empowerment and coherence (through depictions of materiality that structure the experience), fragmentation and confusion are constant aspects of Internet spectatorship. She analyzes spectatorship in multi-user object-oriented settings (MOOs) by examining the textual process of looking and gazing, contrasts the experiences of the women's webcam spectator and operator, describes intentional technological failures in net art, and considers ways in which traditional conceptions of artistry, authorship, and production techniques persist in Internet and computer settings (as seen in the creation of virtual environment avatars and in digital imaging art). Finally, she analyzes the physical and psychic pain described by male programmers in Internet forums as another counternarrative to the common tale of the empowered user. Spectatorship, White argues, not only affects the way specific interfaces are understood but also helps shape larger conceptions of self and society."--Publisher's website. 001388758 650_0 $$aInternet$$xPhilosophy. 001388758 650_0 $$aCyberfeminism. 001388758 650_0 $$aArt and technology. 001388758 650_0 $$aHuman-computer interaction. 001388758 650_6 $$aInternet$$0(CaQQLa)201-0235884$$xPhilosophie.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0380041 001388758 650_6 $$aCyberféminisme.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0427701 001388758 650_6 $$aArt et technologie.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0033046 001388758 650_6 $$aInteraction homme-ordinateur.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0070319 001388758 650_7 $$a54.02 pilosophy and theory of computer science.$$0(NL-LeOCL)077605152$$2bcl 001388758 650_7 $$aArt and technology.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00815441 001388758 650_7 $$aCyberfeminism.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00885776 001388758 650_7 $$aHuman-computer interaction.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00963494 001388758 65017 $$aInternet.$$0(NL-LeOCL)101068689$$2gtt 001388758 65017 $$aPhilosophical aspects.$$0(NL-LeOCL)078506204$$2gtt 001388758 65017 $$aComputer art.$$0(NL-LeOCL)07847356X$$2gtt 001388758 65017 $$aInteractive computer programs.$$0(NL-LeOCL)078546982$$2gtt 001388758 65017 $$aFeminism.$$0(NL-LeOCL)078504422$$2gtt 001388758 650_7 $$aInternet$$xPhilosophy.$$2nli 001388758 650_7 $$aCyberfeminism.$$2nli 001388758 650_7 $$aArt and technology.$$2nli 001388758 650_7 $$aHuman-computer interaction.$$2nli 001388758 852__ $$bgen$$hTK5105.875.I57$$iW5275 2006 001388758 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1388758$$pGLOBAL_SET 001388758 980__ $$aBOOK 001388758 980__ $$aBIB
