[ecrea] Transformations Issue 17 Bernard Steigler and the Question of technics

> Transformations announces the publication of Issue 17
>
> Bernard Stiegler and the Question of Technics
>
> Bernard Stiegler's concept of technics has 
> emerged recently as an important contribution to 
> studies of the relation between technology, time 
> and the human. Technics, or the prosthetic 
> supplementation of the human in "default" of the 
> origin, is the condition of "life that knows." 
> In Technics and Time 1: The Fault of Epimetheus, 
> drawing from and critiquing various sources, 
> including the work on evolutionary biology by 
> Gilbert Simondon, on palaoanthropology by Andre 
> Leroi-Gourhan, on Martin Heidegger's existential 
> analysis of Dasein and Jacques Derrida's 
> différance as the logic of the supplement, 
> Stiegler has proposed arguments about technology 
> and its relation to the human that suggest a 
> formulation of human life as "epiphylogenetic," 
> that is, evolving according to the logic of 
> prosthetic supplementation. In later works, such 
> as the subsequent volumes of Technics and Time, 
> and works such as Taking Care, he explores the 
> role of hyper-capitalism and cinematographic 
> technologies in contemporary consciousness and 
> becoming. This issue of Transformations features 
> articles that address these themes and others in the work of Bernard Stiegler.
