Summary
Gilles Lipovetsky, Jean Serroy: The Global Screen
From Film to Smartphone
For a long time, the screen-film was unique and inviolable. Today, he is drowning in a universe of infinite proportions: the epoch of the global screen has arrived, in every place and at every moment. The emergence of screen civilization represents a great mutation, the scope and meaning of which Gilles Lipovetsky and Jean Serroy are trying to discover. Showing how the spirit of film, through the new age of the big screen, feeds hypermodern culture, they question important topics: cultural regression, the empire of advertising, loss of relationships and intimacy, etc. Film art, followed by television, laptop computers, the Internet, smartphones, have radically shifted our relationship to reality and our view of the world, creating a new model of man: Homo ecranis.
