This book is dedicated to the media philosophy of Vilém Flusser. It is a collection of reflections based on his thinking about media and digital culture. The authors come from different countries, cultures and academic disciplines and have embarked on the daring experiment of a joint summer school in the south of France without knowing each other or the teachers and guests beforehand. What brought us together was our common interest in Flusser and certainly also our curiosity about the differences in our interpretations.
Towards Technosophy
(2022)
Vilém Flusser is considered one of the pioneers of media philosophy, not only due to his interest in new technologies and the role in culture and art he attributed to them. He proposed (media theoretical) models for the analysis of the “telematic society”, photography, television, computing, contemporary media art or political events from a mass media perspective, but more importantly, he has drawn attention to the shift in the “structure of thinking” that can be observed as much as it calls for a new philosophy. The summer school was staged at the amphitheater close to Flusser’s former residence in Robion in Southern France, where participants from more than 10 countries engaged in dialogue with Flusser’s thinking, through different media and techniques, as well as in dialogue with each other.
Critique of Digitality
(2022)
Dealing with digitality is one of the most urgent challenges of the present. The increasing importance and spread of computer technology not only challenges societies and individuals - this development also puts pressure on the concept of digitality, which tries to grasp the totality and peculiarity of the conditions and consequences of electronic digital computing (in all its forms). However, precisely because digitality is commonplace, so should be its critique, its analysis and assessment.
How can an analysis do justice to both fundamental characteristics and changing concrete forms, infrastructures, and practices? How do the developments of a digitalization that programmatically encompasses forms of networking, embedding, and autonomization shape media, cultures, and societies? How do "artificial intelligence" and "algorithmic government" relate to each other, how does the immateriality of "the digital" fit with the materiality of computers? How does the changing status and scope of this technology mediate itself?
This book introduces ongoing debates and develops its own approach to the critique of digitality, asking about forms of interfaces and processes of governance.
This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Kritik der Digitalität by Jan Distelmeyer, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
