“…It taught you how to behave to your peers when you all had time on your hand; not how to do them good, but how to make yourself desirable; how to 'commune', especially mixed company, and how to please. " (1979: 1955) Those protocols came in the form of the so-called "game-texts" (Patterson, 2015) or "games of love" (Stevens, 1979), inscribed into long poems from fathers and mothers of early literature (e.g. Chaucer, Wace and Marie de France) who "dramatized" the practice of loving as much for the purpose of courtly entertainment as for moral wellbeing.…”

This Element outlines the environments of loving in contemporary technoculture and explains the changes in the manner of feelings (including the experience of senses, spaces, and temporalities) in technologically mediated relationships. Synchronic and retrospective in its approach, this Element defines affection (romance, companionship, intimacy etc.) in the reality marked by the material and affective 'intangibility' that has emerged from the rise of digitalism and technological advancement. Analysing the (re)constructions of intimacy, it describes our sensual and somatic experiences in conditions where the human body, believed to be extending itself by means of the media and technological devices, is in fact the extension of the media and their technologies. It is a study that outlines shifts and continuums in the 'practices of togetherness' and which critically rereads late modern paradigms of emotional and affective experiences, filling a gap in the existing critical approaches to technological and technologized love.
