Topology, Algebra, Diagrams
Starting from Poincaré's assignment of an algebraic object to a topological manifold, namely the fundamental group, this article introduces the concept of categories and their language of arrows that has, since their mid-20th-century inception, altered how large areas of mathematics, from algebra to abstract logic and computer programming, are conceptualized. The assignment of the fundamental group is an example of a functor, an arrow constructio…

brian rotman is a Humanities Distinguished Professor at the Ohio State University in the Department of Comparative Studies. His writings include numerous pieces in the Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement, and the London Review of Books, a number of stage plays, five published books, among which are Signifying Nothing: the Semiotics of Zero and Ad Infinitum... the Ghost in Turing's Machine, both from Stanford University Press, and a forthcomin…
The Alphabetic Body
Corporeal or Gesturo-haptic Writing
Imagining a future in which alphabetic writing together with philosophy and literature as we know them will disappear, to be replaced by forms evolved from them, André Leroi-Gourhan assures us at the end of Gesture and Speech that the mentality and accomplishments of these artifacts will not be lost, since the "curiously archaic forms employed by thinking human beings during the period of alphabetic graphism will be preserved in print." 2
Going Parallel
Dusk: a familiar sight: hundreds of starlings perched high in the trees. Startled, they lift off in a ragged, dark mass, to become a flock, a single thing moving through time, wheeling, swooping, fanning, contracting and returning on itself, "Like a drunken fingerprint across the sky" (Richard Wilbur), to land again in the trees. How? Are they a chorus led by a conductor? Is each starling programmed to fly behind a leader in formation? Is the pos…
Mathematics, Science, and Postclassical Theory
Mathematics, Science, and Postclassical Theory is a unique collection of essays dealing with the intersections between science and mathematics and the radical reconceptions of knowledge, language, proof, truth, and reality currently emerging from poststructuralist literary theory, constructivist history and sociology of science, and related work in contemporary philosophy. Featuring a distinguished group of international contributors, this volume…
