http://litteraria.ff.cuni.cz/books/lit_tech.html
Following from an earlier study of "literate technologies," the present volume seeks to examine a number of questions that inevitably come to surround any discussion of signification and dynamic systems; questions which concern the relationship between what is variously meant by the terms event and state, and which tend to coalesce around a number of "problems" to do with relativity and the discursive character of time or temporalisation, mediality, representation and the "techno-logisation" of presence. Such questions ultimately travel far afield, between ontology and classical epistemology, cybernetics and quantum physics, poetics and political science.
Essays in this volume treat the work of Alain Badiou, Bernard Stiegler, Thomas Pynchon, Martin Heidegger, Karl Marx, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, Sigmund Freud, Jose Delgado, Friedrich Kittler, Jean-Luc Godard.
