Kittler and Heidegger: The Trouble with Ent-fernung

by Dominik Zechner

While scanning my #AnalogComputer and analog #electronics books I found a heirloom from Friedrich #Kittler:

I’m so happy that my dear article, “Forgetting / Cybernetics,” has been published in the new volume of the journal History of Media Studies. Check it out at the following link:

Forgetting / Cybernetics

History of Media Studies

#Kittler pur gelesen: "In dieser Vorlesung (…) – und das mag ihre berüchtigte Unmenschlichkeit ausmachen – wird der Versuch, die Seele oder den Menschen einmal mehr zu definieren, systematisch verweigert. (…) Dass das einzige, was man von ihnen wissen kann, die technischen Apparate sind, an denen Seele oder Mensch jeweils historisch Mass nehmen."

In other #digipres news, I successfully ran Whisper on an (as yet unpublished) 1997 Friedrich #Kittler lecture video file on "there is no software" and the need to have a wealth of different hardware ecosystems, and the results are pretty good. Even the Whisper translation isn't too bad.

A new updated version of my paper “Forgetting / Cybernetics” is now available on the MediArxiv repository. The original version was poorly written, the journal that published it was apparently discontinued, is really hard to access, and I was never happy with the way the paper was wrapped there. So, if you are interested, check it out here:

I just want to say (shout) that “Signal-Rausch-Abstand” – which has been broadly and consistently translated as “Signal-to-Noise-Ratio” – does not translate to “La distancia entre el signo y el ruido.” Absolutely not! #WritingInSpanishAgain #MediaTheory #Kittler

"Er hat mich ja auch sehr gemocht, Luhmann – eben weil ich nicht sein Schüler war."

We always heard a lot about Frankfurt or Bielefeld as the centers of German intellectuality in the 70s and 80s. I would rather have preferred to follow the discussions in Freiburg between #Kittler and #Theweleit about #Lacan. #philosophy #culturalstudies
