What happens when communication breaks down? Is it the condition
for mistakes and errors that is characteristic of digital culture?
And if mistakes and errors have a certain power, what stands behind
it? To address these questions, this collection assembles a range
of cutting-edge philosophical, socio-political, art historical and
media theoretical inquiries that address contemporary culture as a
terrain of miscommunication. If the period since the industrial
revolution can be thought of as marked by the realisation of the
possibilities for global communication, in terms of the telephone,
telegraph, television, and finally the internet, Miscommunications
shows that to think about the contemporary historical moment, a new
history and theory of these devices needs to be written, one which
illustrates the emergence of the current cultures of
miscommunication and the powers of the false. The essays in the
book chart the new conditions for discourse in the 21st century and
collectively show how studies of communication can be refigured
when we focus on the capacity for errors, accidents, mistakes,
malfunctions and both intentional and non-intentional
miscommunications.
