Media History as the Event of Truth: On the Singularity of Friedrich A. Kittler?s Works?An Afterword by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht --$tNotes --$tCredits 330 $aFriedrich Kittler (1943?2011) combined the study of literature, cinema, technology, and philosophy in a manner sufficiently novel to be recognized as a new field of academic endeavor in his native Germany. "Media studies," as Kittler conceived it, meant reflecting on how books operate as films, poetry as computer science, and music as military equipment. This volume collects writings from all stages of the author's prolific career. Exemplary essays illustrate how matters of form and inscription make heterogeneous source material (e.g., literary classics and computer design) interchangeable on the level of function?with far-reaching consequences for our understanding of the humanities and the "hard sciences." Rich in counterintuitive propositions, sly humor, and vast erudition, Kittler's work both challenges the assumptions of positivistic cultural history and exposes the over-abstraction and language games of philosophers such as Heidegger and Derrida. The twenty-three pieces gathered here document the intellectual itinerary of one of the most original thinkers in recent times?sometimes baffling, often controversial, and always stimulating. 606 $aCommunication and technology$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCommunication$xPhilosophy 606 $aTechnology$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunication and technology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCommunication$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aTechnology$xPhilosophy. 676 $a302.23 700 $aKittler$b Friedrich A.$0165849 702 $aGumbrecht$b Hans Ulrich 702 $aButler$b Erik 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465464503321 996 $aThe truth of the technological world$92456371 997 $aUNINA
