Critical Theory: The Digital and the Analog

Catalog description

In this doctoral seminar we examine the digital and the analog, not merely by reference to actually existing media technologies, but also, and perhaps more importantly, through encounters with theory and philosophy. Themes in the course include analogicity, digitality, the logical, the illogical, interfaces, cybernetics, psychoanalysis, geometry, and arithmetic. Readings are drawn from the work of Friedrich Kittler, Sarah Kofman, Catherine Malabou, Brian Massumi, Katherine McKittrick, Hito Steyerl, McKenzie Wark, and others.
