[Commlist] cfp: The Digital Condition: An Experiment in Mediated Dialogue

_The Digital Condition: An Experiment in Mediated Dialogue_

What does it mean to speak of a digital condition? How can we describe, 
explain and understand our digital condition? What is it, that we are 
trying to come to terms with? Where exactly does ‘the problem’ of 
technology lie? Beginning in October 2019 we will embark on an 
experimental discussion group centred around those questions.

Each week we will collectively engage with one text before moving on to 
a jarringly different take on ‘the digital condition’ in the following 
week. Instead of presenting a syllabus with a canon of text, our 
intention is to produce a participatory anti-canon that doesn’t follow a 
straight line but disorients, refracts, shocks and meanders.

We are therefore asking anyone interested in participating to send us 
/a/ suggested reading. What text do you think is important to make sense 
of the digital condition? What text would like to introduce to and 
discuss with a larger, interdisciplinary group? This can be any text 
(journal article, book chapter etc) by any author, but please bear in 
mind an appropriate length for a weekly reading. To participate please 
/send a suggested text/ and /100 word description /of your choice and /a 
short biographical note/ to (mark /at/ markcarrigan.net) and 
(contact /at/ milanstuermer.com) by*September 30th 2019*.

We will select 10 texts from contributions on the basis of the following 
imperatives. Our intention is to produce an anti-canon, assembled in a 
participatory way through the juxtaposition of submissions:

 1. Maximising the disciplinary diversity of contributors
 2. Maximising the disciplinary diversity of contributions
 3. Minimising thematic and substantive replication amongst contributions

and Global Justice’ research cluster.
