The Transgression of Technology And Extension of Sense of Touch:Resistance in Media Time
The transgression of technology has caused various disharmonies in human senses,with the conflict of time being one of them.This paper,from the perspective of natural senses,argues that media technology has excessively intervened in vision and hearing,leading to an overflow of immediacy and virtuality,which has ultimately triggered a backlash from the sense of touch.The study finds that human touch holds significant potential to resist media time.This is because touch has its own slow temporality and is difficult to replicate or transmit instantaneously through technology,thus requiring an"in-person"experience.On a phenomenological level,practices in daily life that counteract speed with slowness and the rebuilding of offline relationships can be seen as extensions of touch.Although the extension of touch is meaningful only on an individual level and can generate limited pleasure,this form of resistance still holds real value in the context of media time's dominance.
