Sasquatch in the Psyche
Author: David Salisbury Brown Mitchell
language: en
Publisher: McFarland
Release Date: 2026-04-10
Homins are hair-covered, humanlike beings purported to exist in oral and written literature across time and space. While traditional world mythology and folklore tend to take seriously the existence of entities like Sasquatch, mainstream Western culture often portrays such beings as misidentifications, hoaxes, or projections of the human mind. The result is a collective attitude that degrades, denies, or attempts to debunk the homin phenomenon. As a fresh take on that problem, this book focuses on how memory, anxiety, and trauma may play a role in such negative perceptions of these hairy others. Specifically, the text proposes that persisting memory of anxiety-provoking contact between humans and homins is at the heart of the matter. Drawing from oral history, published scholarship, citizen science, and more, this volume examines evidence, concepts, and hypotheses regarding the presence of homins as well as the effects of these entities on human psychology.
The New Lives of Images
Author: Adrian J. Ivakhiv
language: en
Publisher: Stanford University Press
Release Date: 2025-09-30
In this ambitious new work, eco-philosopher and cultural theorist Adrian Ivakhiv presents an incisive new way of thinking about images and imagination. Drawing upon an immense range of materials, Ivakhiv reassesses the place of imagination in cultural life, analyzing how people have interacted with images in the past and the ways that digital media are profoundly altering these relationships today. The book contributes powerfully to the study of visual culture and digital media, and provides provocative interpretations of a range of important artists and media movements: from the work of photographer Edward Burtynsky, the ambitious multi-screen installations of John Akomfrah, the abstract art of Swedish spiritualist Hilma af Klint, and the Afrofuturism of jazz musicians like Sun Ra and poet Alexis Pauline Gumbs, to the ever-expanding universe of animal videos on YouTube. Along the way, the book delves into animacy and religious imagery, iconophilia and iconoclasm, divination and prophecy, "truthiness" and "enchantment networks," online communities and artificial intelligence, the political and affective economies of digital media, and the role of utopian futurism in the present "climate-colonial Anthropocene" predicament. The result is a vital contribution toward a more empowering conception of the creative imagination and its possibilities in today's emerging digital ecology.
The Thought of Bernard Stiegler
This book provides a comprehensive account of the work of Bernard Stiegler, one of the most influential living social and political philosophers of the twenty-first century. Focusing on Stiegler’s thought on hyperindustrial society and the development of technological systems through which the social, economic and political life of human beings has been transformed, the author examines Stiegler’s claim that the human species is ‘originally technological’ and that to understand the evolution of human society, we must first understand the interface between human beings and technology. A study of the reciprocal development of technical instruments and human faculties, that offers a chapter-by-chapter account of how this relationship is played out in the digital, informatic and biotechnological programmes of hyperindustrial society, The Thought of Bernard Stiegler develops Stiegler’s idea of technology as a pharmakon: a network of systems that provoke both existential despair and unprecedented modes of aesthetic, literary and philosophical creativity that can potentially revitalize the political culture of human beings. As such, it will appeal to social and political theorists and philosophers concerned with our postmodern inheritance.
