Existential media : a media theory of the limit situation / Amanda Lagerkvist. - New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2022] - 1 online resource (xiii, 239 pages).

'Existential Media' 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.
