- W4313143366 abstract "Extract I will never know if I chose this project or it chose me. It came into being at the limit of personal loss and in the middle of a life course of care work and a passion for scholarship interrupted by experiences beyond the pale. I thus found myself in a limit situation. Alienated from my vocation, which suddenly seemed farthest removed from its original ethos, I was sifting through my possibilities for something more worthwhile. The irony of searching for a different grounding, only to be thrown into the groundlessness of Kierkegaard’s universe, meant that I subsequently found myself toiling further in the obscurities of existentialism. These experiences ultimately brought me to an encounter with Karl Jaspers’s luminous philosophy. Life experience is a helpful colander. In a limit situation, the gems and pearls of existence, the godsends and paragons among fellow humans, one’s priorities and core values—all filter themselves out in an almost brutal light. One especially severe truth emerged from the process for me both personally and professionally. It lay there blazing, incandescent, and unforgiving, obliging me as a scholar: media studies lacked the proper concepts to fully heed realities of pain, existential suffering, loss, and our being vulnerable in and with media. From that moment on, this demanded my full attention. It was time to remedy and reinvent, as well as to rediscover and return to big issues and old truths about life while, in that pursuit itself, shedding novel light on media life. I felt that if it is to mean something, to be of import in a wicked world, it was high time that our field get serious, as well as slow down. It was time to turn to existential philosophy. This was a hunch turned into an insight that eventually became a vision, a project, a network, and a young field of coconspirators and friends: existential media studies." @default.
