How did our media-making forebears balance the tension between the present and the absent, the individual and the collective, the static and the dynamic-and how do our current digital networks disrupt these same balances? Can our social media, with its fleeting nature, even be considered social at all? In Friending the Past, Alan Liu proposes fresh answers to these innovative questions of connection. He explores how we can learn from the relationship between past societies whose media forms fostered a communal and self-aware sense of history-such as prehistorical oral societies with robust storytelling cultures, or the great print works of nineteenth-century historicism-and our own instantaneous present. He concludes with a surprising look at how the sense of history exemplified in today's JavaScript timelines compares to the temporality found in Romantic poetry. Interlaced among these inquiries, Liu shows how extensive "network archaeologies" can be constructed as novel ways of thinking about our affiliations with time and with each other. These conceptual architectures of period and age are also always media structures, scaffolded with the outlines of what we mean by history. Thinking about our own time, Liu wonders if the digital, networked future can sustain a similar sense of history. 606 $aSocial media and history 606 $aCommunication$xTechnological innovations$xSocial aspects 606 $aDigital media$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSocial media and history. 615 0$aCommunication$xTechnological innovations$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDigital media$xSocial aspects. 676 $a302.23/1 700 $aLiu$b Alan$01793041 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$bCaOWtU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955886403321 996 $aFriending the past$94332270 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03643nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910963553703321 005 20240418054429.0 010 $a9781283692182 010 $a128369218X 010 $a9780299288532 010 $a0299288536 035 $a(CKB)2670000000275629 035 $a(OCoLC)814694156 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10613070 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000760047 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11393852 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000760047 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10783796 035 $a(PQKB)11131997 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3445256 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse17824 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3445256 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10613070 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL400468 035 $a(OCoLC)813285437 035 $a(Perlego)4386124 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000275629 100 $a20111019d2012 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aTorture and impunity /$fAlfred W.

But the United States has done almost nothing to prosecute past abuses or prevent future violations. Tracing this knotty contradiction from the 1950s to the present, historian Alfred W. McCoy probes the political and cultural dynamics that have made impunity for torture a bipartisan policy of the U.S. government. During the Cold War, McCoy argues, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency covertly funded psychological experiments designed to weaken a subject's resistance to interrogation. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the CIA revived these harsh methods, while U.S. media was flooded with seductive images that normalized torture for many Americans. Ten years later, the U.S. had failed to punish the perpetrators or the powerful who commanded them, and continued to exploit intelligence extracted under torture by surrogates from Somalia to Afghanistan. Although Washington has publicly distanced itself from torture, disturbing images from the prisons at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are seared into human memory, doing lasting damage to America's moral authority as a world leader. 606 $aTorture$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aTorture$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary interrogation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aImpunity$zUnited States 615 0$aTorture$xHistory. 615 0$aTorture$xGovernment policy 615 0$aMilitary interrogation$xHistory. 615 0$aImpunity 676 $a364.6/7 700 $aMcCoy$b Alfred W$0290380 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963553703321 996 $aTorture and impunity$94356087 997 $aUNINA
