Friedrich Kittler was one of the world’s most influential,
provocative and misunderstood media theorists. His work spans
analyses of historical ‘discourse networks’ inspired by
French poststructuralism, influential theorizations of new media,
through to musings on music and mathematics. Always controversial
and relentlessly unpredictable, Kittler’s work is a major
reference point for contemporary media theory, literary criticism
and cultural studies.
This is the only book of essays currently available in English
on an important thinker whose influence across disciplines is
growing. The volume situates Kittler’s ideas, explaining and
critiquing his sometimes difficult writing, and using his theories
to undertake innovative readings of old and new media. It also
includes previously untranslated work by Kittler himself.
Contributors include Caroline Bassett, Steven Connor, Alexander R.
Galloway, Mark B. Hansen, John Durham Peters and Geoffrey
Winthrop-Young.
