The Man, The Myth At War

The history of struggle between war and its representation has changed the way war is fought and the way we tell the stories of war. Information management, once called censorship and propaganda, has developed in tandem with new media technologies. An excerpt from A Century of Media, A Century of War by Fordham U. professor Robin Andersen.

File Under: Media, Bush, Commentary, Politics

By Robin Andersen.

The following is an exclusive excerpt from A Century of Media, A Century of War, by Fordham University Professor and Mediachannel.org supporter Robin Andersen.

Bush-era Stagecraft

One of the most stunning, real-time dramas ever staged to illustrate the glories of the victorious warrior was performed by President George W. Bush. The visual sequences featured a triumphant president dressed in a military flight suit in the cockpit of a fighter jet making a dramatic, made-for-television landing onto the deck of the aircraft carrier the U.S.S. Lincoln. A well-printed banner hung from the ship’s upper deck proclaiming “Mission Accomplished.” Explaining the million-dollar pseudo-event, the administration said the jet fighter was necessary because the carrier was too far out to sea to be reached by helicopter. In fact, the ship was so close that it had to be turned around to prevent television cameras from catching the San Diego coastline in the background.

DeLanda! new book out > New Philosophy of Society: Assemblage Theory And Social Complexity

Manuel DeLanda, name change to delanda?!
DeLanda is a Second Generation non-French theorist of Deleuze. See also Claire Colebrook.
An Amazon Reader:
The Best Introduction to Deleuze, March 11, 2002
Reviewer: A reader
This is an extraodinary book: an astonishingly lucid and well-organized introduction to Deleuze's philosophical project. Most of the secondary literature on Deleuze is simply unhelpful, because it presumes that the reader already grasps Deleuze's tremendously difficult ontological project and terminology. Colebrook begins at the begining, taking the time to explain and define key terms (the virtual, singularity, intensity, affect, becoming, immanence, etc.) and offers rich illustrations of these concepts via literature and film.

Gilles Deleuze conf. today at UCBerkeley, thanks! UC French Dept.!

For Deleuze, the confrontation with chaos deploys the mediums of intelligence, the affect, the percept, function, and the concept. Three autonomous names for the multiple—art, science, philosophy. The ground of their contact and mutual exposure is the simulacrum of ideas, but no idea can appear in a Deleuzian ontology without a material operator by which it is actualized as a variation on the plane of material consistency. A Deleuzian theory of media would ask, “what kind of variation at the level of events is afforded by our material culture?” We must then determine what kind of event is a medium. In keeping with Deleuze’s ontology of immanence we do not align media practice with representation or simulation, only with more or less adequate models of repetition at the level of signals, in short, a propagation of syntax or structural invariants that co-ordinate a space where an event can occur. We must immediately reverse this schema which is necessary for representation but disingenuous to events, which are not predicated on this cultivation of space but erupt continuously as a disarticulating force, the multiple or variable index of forces and relations. A medium is a place of inscription, a possibility of life. The event is not merely a possibility but the actualization of a virtual, which is real but un-mediated. A Deleuzian theory of media must then meet two theoretical and political imperatives: it must enable itself as a structure of registration through which the event can begin to resonate along divergent series (aesthetic, practical, conceptual, technical etc.); it must also propose a kind of historiography of the event which is genealogical, a line of continuous variation that describes the methods of articulating the disorienting violence of the event as it resonates in the heterogenous series.
