Telepresence in history, from correspondence to social networks
Le Temps des médias n° 31, Automne 2018, p. 76-89.
Proposing a systematic comparison of three dimensions of interpersonal communication at a distance: disembodiment (versus physical presence), delay (versus instantaneity) and dissemination (versus private dialogue), the article focuses on the continuities between social digital networks and former communication technology, mainly the epistolary. Suggesting neither progress and better communication, nor a loss of authenticity, our history does not appear as linear. Attitudes vis-Ã -vis mediated presence have been, from the start, deeply ambivalent.
