In *Feeling Media* Miryam Sas explores the potentialities and limitations
of media theory and media art in Japan. Opening media studies and affect
theory up to a deeper engagement with works and theorists outside
Euro-America, Sas offers a framework of analysis she calls the affective
scale—the space where artists and theorists work between the level of the
individual and larger global and historical shifts. She examines
intermedia, experimental animation, and Marxist theories of the culture
industries of the 1960s and 1970s in the work of artists and thinkers
ranging from filmmaker Matsumoto Toshio, photographer Nakahira Takuma, and
the Three Animators' Group to art critic Hanada Kiyoteru and landscape
theorist Matsuda Masao. She also outlines how twenty-first-century Japanese
artists—especially those responding to the Fukushima disaster—adopt and
adapt this earlier work to reframe ideas about collectivity, community, and
connectivity in the space between the individual and the system.

“*Feeling Media* takes up the essential question posed by media artists of
the 1960s, which continues to haunt us. Telecommunications, touted to bring
us closer together, have instead riddled everyday life with new forms of
distance and alienation—what kind of politics is equal to this situation?
Miryam Sas’s profound engagement with Japan’s transmedia art advances a
practical and orphic response: feel media otherwise.” — Thomas Lamarre,
Cinema and Media Studies/East Asian Languages and Civilizations, University
of Chicago

“*Feeling Media* is a must-read for anyone interested in media ecology and
eager to explore how to live as a global citizen in a world swamped in new
media. By questioning and overcoming the Eurocentric perspective and
formation of media theory, it will be a field-defining book in media
studies and contemporary Japanese art.” — Daisuke Miyao, author of *Japonisme
and the Birth of Cinema*
