Are totems merely a thing of the distant past? Or, might it be that our sleek new machines are producing totemic forces which we are only beginning to recognize?
This book asks to what degree today's media technologies are, haunted by a Freudian ghost, functioning as totems or taboos (or both). By isolating five case-studies (rabbits in popular culture, animated creatures that go "off-program," virtual lovers, jealous animal spirit guides, and electronic...

D'entrée de jeu, il faut condamner fermement toutes les formes de racisme, incluant l'antisémitisme, le nazisme et les autres idéologies comparables. Le racisme constitue certainement l'un des produits les plus laids de l'esprit humain et, à l'époque contemporaine, il a généré et soutenu plusieurs systèmes politiques oppressifs. Quant aux nazis, qui se sont appuyés sur une version modernisée et raciale de l'antisémitisme, ils ont conçu...

La cultura no es una fina piel que podamos separar, cuando mejor nos convenga, de nuestras actividades económicas y políticas cotidianas. Muy al contrario, su núcleo es móvil, inaprehensible y siempre permanece teñido por las transformaciones sociales que se dan a su alrededor y de las que depende tanto su fuerza como su existencia. Ahora bien, sería también un grueso error reducir toda cultura a una simple expresión refleja de la vida económica...

In prophetic speech,...
