Han discusses windowing as a semi-stable in-between, a kind of high perch that gives the exhilaration of looking upon so much all at once, while also being isolated and closed off. &#8220;Windowing is thus the hypertextual mode of experience&#8221; (44), he writes. In the multimonitorium, tabs abound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We read the first three chapters of <em speechify-initial-font-size=\"18px\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Hyperculture<\/em> for last evening&#8217;s class session in ENGL6344: Rhetoric in Digital Environments, but we didn&#8217;t read through to this point in the book about how &#8220;windowing [&#8230;] can produce monads with windows whose Being-in-the-world turns out to be a Being-before-a-window&#8221; (45). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was on my mind and even on my tongue! late this morning after we stopped at Virginia Tech&#8217;s Parking Services building there along the midslope of Chicken Hill, immediately adjacent to those noticeably dilapidated and windowless &#8220;poultry research houses.&#8221; We agreed, how unusual is it that those stinky sheds linger right there at the edge of the football stadium parking lot. But then as we drove along Beamer Way, pedestrian after pedestrian was walking, along the sidewalk and sometimes without warning veering into the street (many obstackled was the driving course), but walking with a cell phone up, with a cell phone appearing to hold each walker&#8217;s weighted focus. Being-windowed, being-windowless, it&#8217;s a close close call, which is living better and which is living least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a driver of a car with a glass windshield, I, too, was a being-before-a-window, in a sense, but the device-held walkers were beings-before-a-window in an even more conspicuous way. How is this anything new? It&#8217;s not, not really. Han was onto this in 2005. Beings-before-a-window have proliferated cellular multiplicative ever since. What I noticed today was that, with the fresh, unquittable phrase, Being-before-a-window, I felt a certain some kind of way about our evidently become yet more glassboxed, <em speechify-initial-font-size=\"18px\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\">homo fenestra<\/em> ogling panes and light meanderingly if bumpily. That <em speechify-initial-font-size=\"18px\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\">some kind of way<\/em> is faintly longing but not quite sad, blue-hued, sort of wishing Being-in-the-world was still in the lead. I know better because I know the changeover and the fight, because I know too what it is to walk about as a being-before-a-window. Han draws a parallel between Leibniz&#8217;s (possibly soulless) monad and this being-before-a-window, though the shift is from one kind of closed-offness to a slightly different state of existence, the window open to the world, and the window sealing off from the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>&#8220;Being-before-a-window,&#8221; another unshakeable phrase, albeit in German-made-English translation, from Byung-Chul Han&#8217;s&nbsp;Hyperculture: Culture and Globalization, a 2005 book recirculated in English in 2022.
