This collection of writings explores the theory and praxis of
technicity in contemporary thought. From the ground-breaking
explorations of such figures as Freud, Heidegger, Deleuze/Guattari
and Derrida to the work of more recent theorists like Bernard
Stiegler, Friedrich Kittler and Katherine Hayles, it is becoming
possible to speak of a new "technological turn" in contemporary
continental theory. Yet despite the plethora of work in the field
there has not been any sustained attempt to think through the larger
philosophical, cultural and political implications of the new
technologies.
In this collection, a group of internationally-known figures within
the fields of philosophy, linguistics and cultural studies come
together to consider the meaning of "technicity" at the beginning of
the 21st century.
Contributors: Bernard Stiegler, Louis Armand, Arthur Bradley,
