"[A] provocative, unapologetic study.... [T]he open-minded reader
is rewarded with a stimulating, scathing theory critique.
Recommended."
-- "Choice"
"[T]he authors provide a salutary shaking up of a discourse often
at once moribund or moving all too quickly, while also indicating
the absolutely crucial importance that the subterranean energies of
soma, the body, still play in these future directions."
-- "Afterimage"
"At a moment when media theory seems both ubiquitous and amorphous,
more necessary than ever, yet often trapped in old paradigms or
infatuated with new technology, Excommunication makes a timely and
provocative intervention. There's so much intellectual ferment in
this historically informed, radically contemporary volume that it
might well be a founding document--has the New York school of media
theory finally arrived?"-- "Thomas Bartscherer, Bard College"
"Highly enjoyable and excellent in terms of the burgeoning area of
media philosophy."
-- "Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory"
