1990

Another publication, La civilisation vidéo-chrétienne appeared in France in December 1990 and in Italy the following year (Feltrinelli, 1991).

1991

Brainframes: Technology, Mind and Business (Bosch & Keuning, 1991) addresses the differences between the effects of television, computers and hypermedia on corporate culture, business practices and economic markets.

1995

The Skin of Culture (Somerville Press, 1995) is a collection of essays on the new electronic reality which stayed on Canadian best-sellers lists for several months.

It was translated into a dozen languages including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Polish and Slovenian.

2000

His latest book, The Architecture of Intelligence, was first issued in Dutch in December 2000, and in English (June 2001), Italian and German in September 2001.

It was later translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.

2003

He collaborated with Mark Federman on McLuhan for Managers: New Tools for New Thinking, published in September 2003.

De Kerckhove is also contracted to work on a book about the history of stage performance from early Greek theatre to modern Opera, in collaboration with Francesco Monico.

The Point of Being co-edited with Cristina Miranda de Almeida.

This book explores the research question: what are the psycho-physiological dimensions of the ways people experience their presence in the world and the world's presence in them?

There is in all chapters an invitation to experience a shift of perception.

An embodied sensation of the world and a re-sensorialization of the environment are described to complement the visually-biased perspective with a renewed sense of humans’ relationship to their spatial and material surrounding.

As such, this book presents the topological reunion of sensation and cognition, of sense and sensibility and of body, self and world.

The perception of the "Point of Being", to which the various chapters of this book invite the reader, proposes an alternative to the "Point of View" inherited from the Renaissance; it offers a way to situate the sense of self through the physical, digital and electronic domains that shape physical, social, cultural, economic and spiritual conditions at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Nine authors explore different ways in which the paradigm of the Point of Being can bridge the interval, the discontinuity, between subjects and objects that began with the diffusion of the phonetic alphabet.

The Point of Being is a signpost on that journey.

2007

In January 2007, he returned to Italy for the project and Fellowship "Rientro dei cervelli", in the Faculty of Sociology at the University of Naples Federico II where he teaches "Sociologia della cultura digitale" and "Marketing e nuovi media".
