Parallel to the history of the occult medium of telepathy, there is a media history of thought transfer, across various technologies that in turn influence the conceptual inventory of psychology and neurology, literature and psychoanalysis

Digital Culture between Distribution and Remix
In digital culture, we recognize new delivery options for media (audio, films, games, texts) – not only a new storage paradigm, but a transition to interactivity with proliferating screens of all sizes. These networks of transmission and circulation (including but not limited to UseNet or BitTorrent, iTunes or Tidal, Napster or Pandora, YouTube or Vimeo, SnapChat or Vine, Hulu or Netflix, Aereo or FilmOn, Steam or GOG.com, Twitch or TikTok, to na…

D errida, J acques
Jacques Derrida interrogates the concept of communication as part of a campaign against logo‐phonocentric tendencies in Western thought, deploying the concept of iterability to demonstrate that a hierarchy of presence over absence is untenable. His idea of deconstruction also became associated with digital media and the promise of computer‐mediated communication. In thinking about communication technologies, Derrida disagrees with some of the mos…

Transatlantic Technology Transfer
This chapter focuses on the dissemination of the American indexing technique in the Old World. The card index reenters Europe via two channels. On the one hand, the American business community vouches for the latest office machines, particularly the card index as a time- and labor-saving device, transferring the early scientific management ideas of Frederick W. Taylor and Frank B. Gilbreth into the office. On the other hand, a massive European de…
Paper Machines: About Cards & Catalogs, 1548-1929
Why the card catalog—a “paper machine” with rearrangeable elements—can be regarded as a precursor of the computer. Today on almost every desk in every office sits a computer. Eighty years ago, desktops were equipped with a nonelectronic data processing machine: a card file. In Paper Machines, Markus Krajewski traces the evolution of this proto-computer of rearrangeable parts (file cards) that became ubiquitous in offices between the world wars. T…
On collegiality: Kittler models Derrida
Kittler was among the first to invite Derrida to lectures in Germany, and to translate Derrida's texts into German. Yet a cursory tally in his references does not always do justice to what Kittler's media theory owes to deconstruction. Discourse Networks credits Derrida with a mere 'rediscovery' of grammatology, although Wellbery's foreword labors mightily to identify the deconstructive traits in Kittler's work. Gramophone, Film, Typewriter reduc…
Digital korrekt: Zwischen Terror und Spiel
Polar Media
The sheer inaccessibility of the North and South Pole makes them a crucible for the persistent questions of access and data visualization that characterize the information age. As Robinson's novel Antarctica (1998) grapples with fictions that characterize representations of science, his South Pole exhibits what Jameson calls the properly utopian structure as a kind of world reduction, in which not merely breathable atmosphere but custom, human re…
Amnesty: Between an Ethics of Forgiveness and the Politics of Forgetting
Given the remarkable consistency in Jacques Derrida's work over several decades, it is not hard to draw a line from “Force of Law: The ‘Mystical Foundation of Authority’” to his last seminars, on pardon and forgiveness. The aporias of forgiveness are analogous to those of the gift and of justice he had analyzed in detail in previous decades, as Derrida states in “To Forgive: The Unforgivable and the Imprescriptible” — to that extent his last semi…
