Infinite Ontologies of the Chthulustream
Posthumanism and Racial Capital in Contemporary Streaming Media
Gebonden Engels 2025 9781399549806Samenvatting
Brown and Fleming employ the twin discourses of critical race theory and posthumanism in order to expose how multinational platforms like Netflix play a role in both problematising and perpetuating deeply entrenched violences lurking within the intersections of racism, capitalism, and technology. The authors dive into the racialised world-building of shows like Stranger Things, Watchmen, Lovecraft Country, Sense8, The Twilight Zone, The O.A., Ad Vitam and DEVS, and through their groundbreaking media philosophy diagnose and confront the oppressive and racialising nature of streaming media at the end of the world, in the so-called Chthulucene (or ‘Chthulustream’). As Brown and Fleming demonstrate, streaming media can, at their best, liberate thought to confront overlapping infinite ontologies (8O) that themselves offer a timely panacea and corrective to Object-Oriented-Ontology (OOO).
