This collection of writings explores the theory and praxis of technicity
in contemporary thought. From the ground-breaking explorations of such
figures as Freud, Heidegger, Deleuze/Guattari and Derrida to the work of
more recent theorists like Bernard Stiegler, Friedrich Kittler and
Katherine Hayles, it is becoming possible to speak of a new
"technological turn" in contemporary continental theory. Yet despite the
plethora of work in the field there has not been any sustained attempt
to think through the larger philosophical, cultural and political
implications of the new technologies.

In this collection, a group of internationally-known figures within the
fields of philosophy, linguistics and cultural studies come together to
consider the meaning of "technicity" at the beginning of the 21st
century.

Contributors: Bernard Stiegler, Louis Armand, Arthur Bradley,
Christopher Johnson, Hartmut Winkler, J. Hillis Miller, Belinda Barnet,
Geert Lovink and Kenneth C. Werbin, Darren Tofts, McKenzie Wark, Niall
Lucy, Laurent Milesi, Michael Greaney, Mark Amerika.
