Existential Media revisits existential philosophy through a reappreciation of Jaspers' concept of the limit situation: those ultimate moments in life--of loss, crisis, and guilt--which we are called upon to seize. Introducing the field of existential media studies in conversation with critical disability studies, the new materialism, and the environmental humanities, the book offers a media theory of the (digital) limit situation of death which brings limits, in all their shapes and forms, onto the radar when we interrogate media.
