Tied to the profundity of life and death, media are and have always been existential. Yet, as they are deeply embedded in the lifeworld on both individual and global scales, they currently capitalize on human existence seemingly without limit, while being mythologized as boundless harbingers of the future and as solutions to the predicaments of a world now poised on the edge. In this situation it is imperative to move beyond either the habitual or the sublime, to recognize that media are in fact of limits—situated both in the middle of our lives and at the limit they constitute the building blocks and brinks of being. In order to remedy the existential deficit in the field, in Existential Media Amanda Lagerkvist revisits existential philosophy through a reappreciation of Karl Jaspers philosophy, and of his concept of the limit situation: those ultimate moments in life—of loss, crisis and guilt—which we are called upon to seize. Introducing the field of existential media studies in conversation with disability studies, the new materialism and the environmental humanities, the book offers a media theory of the limit situation which brings limits, in all their shapes and forms, onto the radar when we interrogate media. Lagerkvist argues that the present age of deep techno-cultural saturation, and of escalating calamitous and interrelated crises, is a digital limit situation, in which there are profound stakes which heighten existential uncertainty, vulnerability as well as potential fecundity. Placing the mourner—the coexister—at the center of media studies, by entering into the slow fields of mourning, commemorating and speaking to the dead in the online environment, she brings out that existential media ambivalently offer metric parameters, caring lifelines and transcendent experiences which ultimately display post-interactive modes of being digital in slowness, silence and waiting. The book ultimately calls forth a different ethos which powerfully challenges ideals of limitlessness, quantification and speed, and seeks out alternate intellectual and ethical coordinates for reclaiming, imagining and anticipating a responsible future with existential media.

Digital Existence: Ontology, Ethics and Transcendence in Digital Culture advances debates on digital culture and digital religion in two complementary ways. First, by focalizing the themes ‘ontology,’ ‘ethics’ and ‘transcendence,’ it builds on insights from research on digital religion in order to reframe the field and pursue an existential media analysis that further pushes beyond the mandatory focus in mainstream media studies on the social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of digitalization. Second, the collection also implies a broadening of the scope of the debate in the field of media, religion and culture – and digital religion in particular – beyond ‘religion,’ to include the wider existential dimensions of digital media. It is the first volume on our digital existence in the budding field of existential media studies.

Certain bizarre spaces, where disruption or disarray rule, leave us estranged and 'out of place'. This book examines such spaces, highlighting the emotional and mediated geographies of uncertainty and the state of being 'in-between'; of cognitive displacement, loss, fear, or exhilaration. It expands on why space is sometimes estranging and for whom it is strange. It is the first book to link strangeness and spatial production, as well as empirical explorations of strange spaces within a profound theoretical discussion of 'what is strange about strange spaces' and how they evolve in a modern media age.

Vad innebär det att vara människa i en värld av kommunicerande maskiner? Vad händer om chattbotar tänks kunna föra ett samtal om det eviga? Och hur ska vi bygga en existentiellt hållbar framtid med AI? Detta är centrala frågor för humanistisk AI-forskning idag.
I samhällsdebatten om artificiell intelligens och chattbotar skildras de senaste årens stora teknikskifte -- och teknikens potential och risker -- gärna i termer av avgränsade »problem« som kräver »lösningar«. Diskussionen reproducerar därmed den världsbild av logik och formalism som maskinerna själva är byggda av, och som det mänskliga sedan mäts mot. Här finns tydliga behov av humanistiska och existentiella perspektiv. Om debatten förs alltför ensidigt riskerar den inte bara att spä på missförstånd och förstärka domedagsprofetior; den riskerar också att reproducera de ojämlika sociala strukturer som tekniken både är byggd inom och medskapare till. Ofta finns ett tydligt ointresse från AI-utvecklarna att på djupet ta till sig vad som händer inom den humanistiska grenen av AI-forskningen.
Denna skrift tar avstamp i flera svenska forskningsprojekt om AI och ett samarbete mellan Nobelprismuseet, Liljevalchs och Humanobservatorium för digital existens i Uppsala. Medverkande författare är tidigare ärkebiskopen Antje Jackelén, AI-experten och datorlingvisten Magnus Sahlgren samt forskare inom bland annat systemvetenskap, medievetenskap, interaktionsdesign och psykologi. Redaktören Amanda Lagerkvist är professor i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet.

Bussen är budskapet : perspektiv på mobilitet, materialitet och modernitet

Bussarnas speciella form av mediematerialitet – deras ”budskap” för att tala med McLuhan – blev tidigt en av utgångspunkterna för författarnas diskussion. Är bussarnas jämförelsevis anspråkslöst vardagliga kostymering en förklaring till att dessa till skillnad mot bilar och tåg har lämnat så få avtryck i tidigare historisk forskning? Hur kan vi kombinera perspektiv från aktuella forskningsområden för att skapa ny kunskap om bussarnas förmåga att i både konkret och symbolisk mening omskapa och sammanföra åtskilda tider och platser? Hur kan vi tänka med bussar för att analysera det mobilas och materiellas betydelse i skapandet och omvandlandet av den västerländska modernitetens berättelser om framsteg och civilisation? Dessa och många andra frågor väcktes under författarnas samtal om missionsrörelsens utställningsbussar, Mjölkpropagandans reklambussar, livsmedelshandelns rullande butiker på den svenska landsbygden, skärmbildsundersökningens röntgenbussar, blodbussar i Sverige och Finland, norska skolresor till Auschwitz, sightseeingbussar i Beatles Liverpool och turistresor i skuggan av Shanghais futuristiska skyskrapor. Redaktörer är Lotten Gustafsson Reinius, docent i etnologi och verksam som intendent vid Etnografiska museet i Stockholm, Ylva Habel, fil. dr och högskolelektor i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Södertörns högskola, och Solveig Jülich, docent och universitetslektor i idéhistoria vid Stockholms universitet.

This open access collection gathers thinkers, media practitioners, scholars, and artists to bring attention to how our relational selves, lives, and lifeworlds emerge within a range of digital platforms, media environments, creative media practices, and performances to probe what it means to become subjective by evolving in and with a world of relational technologies.As biometric artificial intelligence, datafication procedures and algorithms increasingly saturate and reconfigure human and more-than-human realms, technologies, and selves co-evolve in deepest relationality. Nearly every form of existence has today become subject to computational harvesting and utilization. This renders our relations with technologies—those we actively compose and those that are forced upon us—ever more complex and inconceivably entwined.Topics covered in this collection include: face monitoring and modelling practices, quantified applications, writing techniques, biometric identifications of age and health, AI informed decision making, biohacking, voice recognition, social media, and algorithmic cultures of datafication. The overarching motivation is to generate new forms of understanding, but also “counter-measures” for negotiating this relational condition existentially, socially, and artistically. Thus, offering a unique contribution to the debates on data selves, Relational Technologies provides manifold possibilities for a co-existentialist understanding of technological developments of datafication and biometrics. This way the volume brings posthumanist critique into conversation with the young field of existential media studies, in search of new inflection points of change and transformation through new modes of knowing, reflecting, and crafting media futures of relationality.
