Modes of Social Closure in Morten Tyldum’s Film The Imitation Game
This article discusses Morten Tyldum’s film The Imitation Game in terms of its media-specific representation of social closure at three spatio-temporal levels. They involve Alan Turing’s boarding school in the late 1920s, Bletchley Park, the home of the cryptanalysts during the Second World War, and a homophobic Britain of the early 1950s. The paper borrows from an expanded neo-Weberian theoretical frame and attempts to address power-based proces…
“I’m taking the side of humanity”
In 1899, when Albert Einstein was about to turn twenty, he wrote to his sister Maja claiming: "If everyone lived such a way, namely like me, the writing of novels would never have been invented" (qtd. in Isaacson 39).But, instead of being hypothetically co-responsible for an alternative course of literary development, Einstein's life has inspired numerous novelists, playwrights, and directors to create their own artistic accounts of his multifari…
Turing’s Missing Algorithm
If a machine can think, it might think more intelligently than we do, and then where should we be?Even if we could keep the machines in a subservient position, for instance by turning off the power at strategic moments, we should, as a species, feel greatly humbled
A Fictionalized Representation of Scientific Counter‐Discourse
This paper explores a fictionalized series of past events in which a process of scientific discovery clearly contradicts the dominant academic discourse and is therefore bound to meet with powerful opposition. Based on an analysis of Jo Lendle's novel Alles Land ( 2011 ), the literary representation of the life of Alfred Wegener (1880–1930) and his theory of continental drift is studied against the backdrop of Thomas S. Kuhn's conceptualization o…
