Technologies for Intuition - Cold War Circles and Telepathic Rays Paperback
Since the Cold War, Americans and Russians have together cultivated fascination with the workings and failures of communicative channels. Technologies for Intuition theorizes phaticity--the processes by which people make, check, discern, or describe channels and contacts, judging them weak or strong, blocked or open. Each accuses the other of media jamming and propaganda, and each proclaims its own communication practices better for expression and creativity.
Tacking across geopolitical borders, the book demonstrates how contact and channel shift in significance over time, through events and political This historical ethnography of intuition juxtaposes telepathy experiments and theatrical empathy drills, passing through settings where media and performance professionals encounter neophytes, where locals open channels with foreigners, and where skeptics of contact debate naifs.
