Conclusion: iMedia Otherwise

Abstract

Insofar as reality and subjectivity are always already mediated, what is at stake in the processes of unmediation and re-differentiation that have been traced in this book? Unmediation is more than the alignment of immediacy, masculinism and scientism in the quest to be right (versus writerly). It is about the presencing of iworlds just as they are — or very soon will be — and the moral and religious imperative to get real, man up, shape up, improve ourselves, perfect ourselves, save ourselves or else be damned! I confront the moralism and religiosity of unmediation, its right(eous)ness with a feminist tradition of writerliness and manifest mediacy that might allow space and time for the emergence of iworlds that are otherwise.
