In a world where our lives are increasingly mediated by
technologies it is surprising that more attention is not paid to
the work of Gilles Deleuze. This is especially strange given
Deleuze's often explicit focus and reliance on the machine and the
technological. This volume offers readers a collective and
determined effort to explore not only the usefulness of key ideas
of Deleuze in thinking about our new digital and biotechnological
future but, also aims to take seriously a style of thinking that
negotiates between philosophy, science and art. This exciting
collection of essays will be of relevance not only to scholars and
students interested in the work of Deleuze but, also, to those
interested in coming to terms with what might seem an increasing
dominance of technology in day to day living. Contributors to this
volume include: William Bogard, Abigail Bray, Ian Buchanan, Verena
Conley, Ian Cook, Tauel Harper, Timothy Murray, Saul Newman,
Luciana Parisi, Patricia Pisters, Mark Poster, Horst Ruthrof, David
Savat, Bent Meier Sorensen and Eugene Thacker.
Media pervade and saturate the world around us. From the
proliferation of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to
television, radio, newspapers, films, games and email, media is
inescapable. This book, using some of Deleuze's key concepts as its
starting point, offers a new systematic analysis of how media
functions in our lives, and how we function through our media.
While Harper and Savat take Deleuze as the starting point, they
extend and define his concepts, pointing out advances made by
theorists such as Marx, Mumfors, McLuhan and Williams in the
attempt to answer the most Deleuzean of questions, 'what is it that
media do?'
