TIMECODE
A seminar series in media and technology
May 14th 2007, 6pm
Time/Technics/and Togetherness
Jeremy Gilbert (University of East London)
How do conceptions of time, different forms of technology and different
ideas about it, influence our sense of what it means to be part of a group,
a collective, a community (real or imagined)? How can Bernard Stiegler's
conceptions of 'originary technicity' - that is, human beings' fundamental
relationship to tools of all kinds - and his more recent critiques of our
media-saturated culture help us to understand these issues? How far is our
sense of individuality dependent upon our relationship to a wider network of
belonging which is always a question of whose time-lines we share, whose
speeds we go at, and what devices we use to measure the distance between now
and then?
The seminar begins at 6pm. The venue is: On Location, National Media Museum,
Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD1 1NQ. Tel: 0870 70 10 200

TIMECODE
A seminar series in media and technology
Run by the Communications, Cultural and Media Studies research group in the
School of Informatics at the University of Bradford, this regular seminar
series explores the increasingly important relationship between media,
technology, culture and society. The School of Informatics has a long
tradition of operating across artistic and scientific academic disciplines
and is expanding its creative portfolio. Hosted by the National Media
Museum, and supported by their superb facilities, the series recognises the
importance of the National Media Museum as a forum for these critical
debates.
