Serial Unreading
This article develops a theory of serial reading rethought as a theory of serial unreading, a processual form of attention directed toward virtual principles of production, whether a procedure, formula, operation, algorithm, or even an obsessive compulsion.

The modern condition, then, involves a separation between the socio-economic creation of ‘hybrid obje…
