  • Interregnum: Week 2

    Interregnum, Week 2

    I began the week by finishing the “Media After Kittler” conference, with three incredible talks and a discussion.

     The first talk was by Samuel Weber, a huge name in philosophy and friend of Kittler. His talk, titled “The Calculable and the Incalculable: Hölderlin after Kittler,” was a masterful demonstration of how Kittler’s materialism contaminates idealism.

     The second talk was Matthew Fuller’s “The Forbidden Pleasures of Media Determinism.” Fuller’s strong philosophical acumen is on display as he digs into important areas of media theory, such as a consideration of “social form determinism.”

     The third talk is by Mai Wegener, titled “The Humming of Machines. To the End of History and Back.” While many mentioned history in their Kittler talks, Wegener performs the most rigorous and systematic use of Kittler’s non-anthropocentric media philosophy to push concepts of history to their limit.

     I continued the week with one final session on German Media Studies. This session is from a different occasion than the “Media After Kittler” conference and surveyed a wider range of position. The breadth of the topic allowed each speaker to give really compelling talks. Groy’s short introduction was good at establishing key concepts. Engell and Seigert gave really sharp talks. Engell’s talk in particular is a model for drawing in an audience. Alliez completed the session with some characteristically thoughful interventions.

     I finished the week with a session by socialist feminists on Nancy Fraser’s recent book called The Fortunes of Feminism. Fraser’s argument is that second wave feminism’s liberation of women from the home unwittingly converged with key aspects of the neoliberal project, such as replacing welfare with work. Be sure to check out the discussion, which covered diverging opinions on intersectionality, the state, and international disruptions of how we define neoliberalism.

  • Kittler Heidenreich Talk
    Stefan Heidenreich, “Media Materialism and the Logic of Links” When Friedrich Kittler said, “media determine our situation,” the term “situation” (or Lage, in German) refers to a type of military briefing that provides an overview of different positions on the battlefield and the accordant actions to be taken. Surprisingly, this “situation,” as a very contemporary, practical issue, never received any attention from Kittler’s branch of German media theory, and even resulted in its blindness to the increasing ubiquity of the internet.

  • Kittler Siegert Talk
    Bernhard Siegert,  “Media After Media.” What was media analysis according to Friedrich Kittler? What have become of the media after they have been ontologically degraded to source code? What then are Media after the Media? And what are the possible futures of Media Studies in the Kittlerian sense beyond the cult of Aphrodite?

  • What Can We Do With Non-Philosophy?
    A Discussion with Alexander Galloway, Ian James, and John Ó Maoilearca: Many philosophies claim to be practical: performativity, praxis, practice-based thought, truth procedures and enquiries, and even artistic performance have each been connected to various philosophical positions. So what, if anything, makes François Laruelle’s Non-Standard Philosophy different? ‘What Can We Do With Non-Philosophy?’ brings together three researchers whose work aims in part to elucidate the theoretical-practical uses of Non-Philosophy in a range of fields from science studies, through media studies, to animal and film studies. In each case they ask: how can this ‘future thought’ change the relation of theory to practice? What can be done with non-philosophy that changes what we do with anything, or everything, else?
