Phantasmal media : an approach to imagination, computation, and expression

by D. Fox Harrell

This work analyses how computational media uses phantasms—blends of cultural ideas and sensory imagination—to create meaning. It offers a framework for designing systems that incorporate social values, diverse worldviews, and semiotic theory.

Argues for the importance of cultural content, diverse worldviews, and social values in computing. The expressive power of phantasms is not purely aesthetic, the author contends; phantasmal media can express and construct the types of meaning central to the human condition. --blurb
