Abstract:
Media theorist Douglas Rushkoff discusses his struggles with Judaism. He suggests that Jewish ritual and text could help sustain a "media literacy" a critical distance -- that could counter such dangerous trends, and considers the possible Jewish contribution to an increasingly global society, in a period when an orientation toward survival is no longer viable.
