Das sogenannte emotion detection operiert auf Grundlage des Facial Action Coding System (FACS), einem Klassifikationssystem für Emotionen, das verspricht, Gefühle anhand der Bewegung der Gesichtsmuskeln zu entschlüsseln. Das FACS transportiert jedoch ein Gefühlsparadigma, das ungelöste Probleme aus der Vorgeschichte der Emotionsforschung bündelt. Gefühle Vermessen untersucht das Nachwirken dieser Probleme in der computergestützten Depressionsforschung und Autismustherapie, welche die Verfahren des Affective Computing anwenden. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, warum das Codierungssystem trotz dieser Ambivalenzen eine mächtige Produktivität entfaltet. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Gefuehle-Vermessen-Cover-scaled.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung 01 programname Internationales Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie Lüneburg 04 19 2025 06 15 9783957962287 06 15 9783957962294 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/gefuhle-vermessen/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/978-3-95796-229-4_Gefuhle_Vermessen.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:2c826665-3208-42da-b84d-d262826cba3b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2c826665-3208-42da-b84d-d262826cba3b 15 9783957962072 06 10.14619/2065 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Guantánamo Frames 1 A01 Rebecca Boguska 01 eng 00 276 03 20 Guantanamo 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 10 HIS038000 04 JF20-2112 12 JP 93 JP 20 politics 04 E151-889 12 HBJK 20 media 93 NHK 20 journalism 20 human rights 20 security state 20 violence 01 06 03 00 For the last twenty years, the Guantánamo Bay detention camp has not just been a military prison and security facility, but also a site of media production. Films, photographs, and documents have continued to emerge from the camp and become the focus of fierce legal and political battles, as well as intense moral anguish. This book looks at how the US Department of Defense has struggled, and often failed, to control the public perception of these media objects through complex, layered framing devices. It traces how small ruptures in the Department’s framings have provided openings for critical interventions from various fields – ranging from journalism and human rights law to the arts. Guantánamo Frames thus lays the groundwork for a critical reappraisal of the entanglement of media, violence, and the security state in a broader sense. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/978-3-95796-206-5_Cover.png meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2022 06 15 9783957962065 06 15 9783957962072 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/guantanamo-frames 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/978-3-95796-207-2_Boguska.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:daa81608-7f43-487c-8edd-03283c412a6d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:daa81608-7f43-487c-8edd-03283c412a6d 15 9783957961754 06 10.14619/1747 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 High Definition Medienphilosophisches Image Processing 1 A01 Elisa Linseisen 01 ger 00 409 03 93 JBCT 04 P87-96 20 Philosophie 20 Film 93 QD 20 Video 20 Medientechnik 20 Medienphilosophie 20 Hyperrealismus 20 Fotografie 20 Postproduktion 20 Medien 20 Digitalisierung 20 Fernsehen 20 Ästhetik 01 06 03 00 Dieses Buch zoomt in informationsreiche und pixeldichte Welten in HD.

Pollution, the poison of pesticides, the exhaustion of natural resources, falling water tables, growing social inequalities – these are all problems that can no longer be treated separately. The effects of global warming have a cumulative impact, and it is not a matter of a crisis that will “pass” before everything goes back to “normal.”Our governments are totally incapable of dealing with the situation. Economic warfare obliges them to stick to the goal of irresponsible, even criminal, economic growth, whatever the cost. It is no surprise that people were so struck by the catastrophe in New Orleans. The response of the authorities – to abandon the poor whilst the rich were able to take shelter – is a symbol of the coming barbarism. meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9781785420092 06 15 9781785420108 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/978-1-78542-010-8_In-Catastrophic-Times_Stengers.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/in-catastrophic-times/ 99 04 urn:uuid:e373ed62-6c7b-4fde-8391-5015998ecc2c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e373ed62-6c7b-4fde-8391-5015998ecc2c 15 9783957961068 06 10.14619/022 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Interferences and Events On Epistemic Shifts in Physics through Computer Simulations 1 B01 21 0000-0003-0672-7326 Anne Dippel 2 B01 21 0000-0003-3500-4354 Martin Warnke 3 A01 Arianna Borrelli 4 A01 21 0000-0001-8461-4015 Hans De Raedt 5 A01 Wolfgang Hagen 6 A01 Lukas Mairhofer 7 A01 21 0000-0001-9153-1461 Mira Maiwöger 8 A01 21 0000-0003-1444-4262 Kristel Michielsen 9 A01 Frank Pasemann 10 A01 Hans-Jörg Rheinberger 01 eng 00 182 03 20 interferences 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 12 PDA 93 PDA 04 QC170-197 20 quantum physics 10 SCI075000 10 COM072000 20 computer simulation 12 PHQ 93 PHQ 20 science and technology studies 93 UYM 12 UYM 20 computer 20 media theory 20 simulation 20 events 20 physics 01 06 03 00 Computer simulations are omnipresent media in today’s knowledge production. For scientific endeavors such as the detection of gravitational waves and the exploration of subatomic worlds, simulations are essential; however, the epistemic status of computer simulations is rather controversial as they are neither just theory nor just experiment. Therefore, computer simulations have challenged well-established insights and common scientific practices as well as our very understanding of knowledge. This volume contributes to the ongoing discussion on the epistemic position of computer simulations in a variety of physical disciplines, such as quantum optics, quantum mechanics, and computational physics. Originating from an interdisciplinary event, it shows that accounts of contemporary physics can constructively interfere with media theory, philosophy, and the history of science. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/9783957961051_Interferences_Cover_small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Kolleg Forschungsgruppe 01 projectname media cultures of computer simulation 01 grantnumber FOR 1927 Lüneburg 04 19 2017 06 15 9783957961051 06 15 9783957961068 06 15 9783957961075 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/978-3-95796-106-8_Interferences-and-Events_Web.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/interferences-and-events 99 04 urn:uuid:4572e853-6304-4dac-9bc9-aedc1dda27c1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4572e853-6304-4dac-9bc9-aedc1dda27c1 15 9783957961112 06 10.14619/1105 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Digital Cultures 01 01 Interventions in Digital Cultures Technology, the Political, Methods 1 B01 Howard Caygill 2 B01 Martina Leeker 3 B01 Tobias Schulze 4 A01 Ulrike Bergermann 5 A01 Wendy Hui Kyong Chun 6 A01 Alexander R.

Interventions are in vogue in digital cultures as forms of critique or political actions into public spheres. By engaging in social, political, and economic contexts, interventions attempt to interrupt and change situations—often with artistic means. This volume maps methods of interventions under the specific conditions of the digital. How are interventions shaped by these conditions? And how can they contribute to altering them? In essays and interviews, this book interrogates modes of intervening in and through art, infrastructures, techno-ecological environments, bio-technology, and political protests to highlight their potentials as well as their ambivalences. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/9783957961155_Interventions_cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2017 06 15 9783957961105 06 15 9783957961112 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/978-3-95796-111-2_Interventions-in-Digital-Cultures_Web.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/interventions-in-digital-cultures 99 04 urn:uuid:70ebdb3f-4086-4971-8bc9-87213f4a25f0 03 01 01 urn:uuid:70ebdb3f-4086-4971-8bc9-87213f4a25f0 15 9783957960061 06 10.14619/009 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Introduction to a Future Way of Thought On Marx and Heidegger 1 A01 Kostas Axelos 2 B01 21 0000-0002-7885-2444 Stuart Elden 3 Z01 Kenneth Mills 01 eng 00 180 03 04 B1-5802 20 Heidegger 93 PDA 93 QDTJ 20 technology 20 world 20 globalization 20 mondialisation 20 science 20 play 20 technological condition 20 Marx 20 philosophy 20 planetary 01 06 03 00 “Technologists only change the world in various ways in generalized indifference; the point is to think the world and interpret the changes in its unfathomability, to perceive and experience the difference binding being to the nothing.” Anticipating the age of planetary technology Kostas Axelos, a Greek-French philosopher, approaches the technological question in this book, first published in 1966, by connecting the thought of Karl Marx and Martin Heidegger. Marx famously declared that philosophers had only interpreted the world, but the point was to change it. Heidegger on his part stressed that our modern malaise was due to the forgetting of being, for which he thought technological questions were central. Following from his study of Marx as a thinker of technology, and foreseeing debates about globalization, Axelos recognizes that technology now determines the world. Providing an introduction to some of his major themes, including the play of the world, Axelos asks if planetary technology requires a new, a future way of thought which in itself is planetary. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Axelos-FutureThought-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960054 06 15 9783957960061 06 15 9783957960078 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/9783957960061-Axelos-Future_Thought.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/introduction-to-a-future-way-of-thought 99 04 urn:uuid:41bbc60f-d7e2-4dc5-bc38-19c2f39c594e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:41bbc60f-d7e2-4dc5-bc38-19c2f39c594e 15 9783957962379 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Kritik des Neo-Extraktivismus in der Gegenwartskunst 1 B01 Hauke Ohls 2 B01 Birgit Mersmann 3 A01 Viktor Brim 4 A01 21 0009-0004-7399-8526 Linn Burchert 5 A01 21 0009-0007-5920-0014 Lena Geuer 6 A01 Liliana Gómez 7 A01 Ina Neddermeyer 8 A01 21 0009-0000-9077-1498 Veronica Peselmann Peselmann 9 A01 Jorge Sanguino 10 A01 Lukas Schepers 11 A01 21 0009-0000-6888-1412 Irene Schütze 12 A01 Martin Siegler 13 A01 Franca Spengler 14 A01 Florian Telsnig 15 A01 Susanne Witzgall 01 ger 20 Extraktivismus 93 JBCT1 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Gegenwartskunst 93 PSAF 10 SCI020000 93 AFKP 20 Materialitäten 20 Infrastrukturen 01 06 03 00 Wie reflektieren Künstler*innen und Kollektive die globalen Herausforderungen der akzelerierenden Rohstoffausbeutung?

In the second essay, he extends his reflections to propose a non-anthropological understanding of technology, and so sets up a confrontation with the work of Martin Heidegger. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Barthelemy-Cover-small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960702 06 15 9783957960719 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/978-3-95796-071-9_Barthelemy-Life-and-Technology.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/life-and-technology 99 04 urn:uuid:3553f7c2-9ca9-4c98-8e0e-27d036e95f8c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3553f7c2-9ca9-4c98-8e0e-27d036e95f8c 15 9783957961488 06 10.14619/1488 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Machine 1 A01 Thomas Pringle 2 A01 Gertrud Koch 3 A01 Bernard Stiegler 01 eng 00 104 03 20 Animation 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Automation 20 Cybernetics 20 Digitization 20 Economics 20 Ecosystems 20 Exploitation 20 Philosophy 20 Politics 20 Technology 01 06 03 00 In contrast with media constructed as vast, ontologically homogeneous, non-localized systems, formats show material networks of interoperability and exclusions, inscribed in local specificities, and involving precise conditions for the circulation of images and sounds. Formats, institutionalized as standards, frame the “technical networks” defined by Gilbert Simondon, that unfold technical objects into economically and politically structured webs that cover the world. Media are always formatted and, as such, do not flow: they are displaced. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Machine_U1.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2019 06 15 9783957961488 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/9783957961488-Machine.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/machine 99 04 urn:uuid:20e321b0-ebf3-4b85-9712-d3d88836be61 03 01 01 urn:uuid:20e321b0-ebf3-4b85-9712-d3d88836be61 15 9783957961471 06 10.14619/1471 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Markets 1 A01 21 0000-0003-3609-0573 Armin Beverungen 2 A01 Philip Mirowski 3 A01 21 0000-0001-5840-8744 Edward Nik-Khah 4 A01 Jens Schröter 01 eng 00 144 03 20 Capitalism 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 10 BUS045000 20 Digital Media 12 KCBM 93 KCBM 93 KCSA 20 Media Studies 20 Money 01 06 03 00 Markets abound in media—but a media theory of markets is still emerging. Anthropology offers media archaeologies of markets, and the sociology of markets and finance unravels how contemporary financial markets have witnessed a media technological arms race. Building on such work, this volume brings together key thinkers of economic studies with German media theory, describes the central role of the media specificity of markets in new detail and inflects them in three distinct ways. Nik-Khah and Mirowski show how the denigration of human cognition and the concomitant faith in computation prevalent in contemporary market-design practices rely on neoliberal conceptions of information in markets. Schröter confronts the asymmetries and abstractions that characterize money as a medium and explores the absence of money in media. Beverungen situates these inflections and gathers further elements for a politically and historically attuned media theory of markets concerned with contemporary phenomena such as high-frequency trading and cryptocurrencies. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/markets_cover_small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2019 06 15 9783957961471 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/9783957961471-Markets.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/markets/ 99 04 urn:uuid:1321e6df-fcb0-44ab-a874-071781ae9681 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1321e6df-fcb0-44ab-a874-071781ae9681 15 9783957960313 06 10.14619/002 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 30 Years After Les Immatériaux Art, Science and Theory 1 B01 21 0000-0001-6322-9062 Andreas Broeckmann 2 B01 21 0000-0002-3242-9819 Yuk Hui 3 A01 Jean-Louis Boissier 4 A01 Daniel Birnbaum 5 A01 Thierry Dufrêne 6 A01 Francesca Gallo 7 A01 21 0000-0002-2396-7914 Charlie Gere 8 A01 Antony Hudek 9 A01 Jean-François Lyotard 10 A01 Robin Mackay 11 A01 21 0000-0002-8188-8421 Anne Elisabeth Sejten 12 A01 Bernard Stiegler 13 A01 Sven-Olov Wallenstein 01 eng 00 276 03 20 art 04 NX1-820 10 PHI000000 12 UD 93 UD 10 COM043000 12 HP 20 Jean-François Lyotard 93 QD 20 reorientation 12 UT 93 UT 20 digital technologies 20 philosophy 20 anamnesis 20 postmodernity 20 materiality 20 science 01 06 03 00 In 1985, the French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard curated a groundbreaking exhibition called Les Immatériaux at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The exhibition showed how telecommunication technologies were beginning to impact every aspect of life. At the same time, it was a material demonstration of what Lyotard called the post-modern condition. This book features a previously unpublished report by Jean-François Lyotard on the conception of Les Immatériaux and its relation to postmodernity. Reviewing the historical significance of the exhibition, his text is accompanied by twelve contemporary meditations. The philosophers, art historians, and artists analyse this important moment in the history of media and theory, and reflect on the new material conditions brought about by digital technologies in the last 30 years. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Cover-Broeckmann-Hui-30-Years_klein-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960306 06 15 9783957960313 06 15 9783957960320 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/9783957960313-30-Years-Les-Immateriaux.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/30-years-after-les-immateriaux 99 04 urn:uuid:f696445f-8a9f-4ab2-95d2-3f222b83b37b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f696445f-8a9f-4ab2-95d2-3f222b83b37b 15 9783957960542 06 10.14619/0535 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Configurations of Film 01 01 Accidental Archivism Shaping Cinema’s Futures with Remnants of the Past 1 B01 Stefanie Schulte Strathaus 2 B01 21 0000-0002-3455-2423 Vinzenz Hediger 3 A01 Añulika Agina 4 A01 Hadi Alipanah 5 A01 Gaby Babić 6 A01 Lynhan Balatbat-Helbock 7 A01 21 0000-0001-7807-2010 Erika Balsom 8 A01 Marie Sophie Beckmann 9 A01 Mareike Bernien 10 A01 Amrita Biswas 11 A01 Sema Çakmak 12 A01 21 0009-0003-2470-4790 Sonia Campanini 13 A01 21 0000-0003-2379-5777 Erica Carter 14 A01 21 0000-0002-7522-4813 Özge Çelikaslan 15 A01 Filipa César 16 A01 Didi Cheeka 17 A01 Vaginal Davis 18 A01 Madhusree Dutta 19 A01 Tamer El Said 20 A01 21 0000-0003-1886-7166 Almudena Escobar López 21 A01 Mariia Glazunova 22 A01 Ulrich Gregor 23 A01 Olena Goncharuk 24 A01 Karola Gramann 25 A01 Veena Hariharan 26 A01 Mohammad Shawky Hassan 27 A01 Shai Heredia 28 A01 Tobias Hering 29 A01 Grazia Ingravalle 30 A01 Ritika Kaushik 31 A01 Philipp Dominik Keidl 33 A01 Julita Pratiwi 34 A01 Lisabona Rahman 38 A01 Ivanna Khitsinska 39 A01 Hieyoon Kim 40 A01 Laura Kloeckner 41 A01 Merle Kröger 42 A01 Asja Makarevic 43 A01 Nils Meyn 44 A01 Petna Ndaliko Katondolo 45 A01 21 0009-0006-0015-4511 Rebecca Ohene-Asah 46 A01 21 0000-0002-4303-7677 Volker Pantenburg 47 A01 Nikolaus Perneczky 48 A01 Francesco Pitassio 49 A01 Constanze Ruhm 50 A01 Heide Schlüpmann 51 A01 Alexandra Schneider 52 A01 Girish Shambu 53 A01 21 0000-0001-6326-9558 Marc Siegel 54 A01 Can Sungu 55 A01 Clarissa Thieme 56 A01 Mila Turajlić 57 A01 Ravi Vasudevan 58 A01 Simone Venturini 59 A01 Ala Younis 01 eng 00 492 03 20 activism 93 ATFA 04 P87-96 10 PER004030 93 GLP 10 LAN025020 20 pandemic 20 cinema 93 JBCT 10 SOC052000 20 digitality 93 JPW 20 archivism 20 media ecology 20 repositories 01 06 03 00 In the digital media ecology, archives are changing. Artists, curators, critics and scholars assume the role of accidental archivists. They shape cinema’s futures by salvaging precarious repositories and making them matter in new ways. In the process, the cinema’s public, a democratic body seemingly scattered about platforms and niches in a post-pandemic world, re-emerges as a political force.Accidental Archivism brings together programmatic statements and proposals to explore an artistic space between archiving and activism, a space where remnants of the past become the building blocks of new ways of making, showing, teaching and thinking cinema. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/mp_Accidental_Archivism_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2023 06 15 9783957960535 06 15 9783957960542 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/978-3-95796-054-2_Accidental_Archivism.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/accidental-archivism/ 99 04 urn:uuid:8b907071-1f79-49b1-98b2-0fed337e063a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8b907071-1f79-49b1-98b2-0fed337e063a 15 9783957961525 06 10.14619/152-5 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Action at a Distance 1 A01 John Durham Peters 2 A01 21 0000-0002-5225-8711 Florian Sprenger 3 A01 Christina Vagt 01 eng 00 94 03 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 20 Materiality 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 10 COM043000 04 T58.5-58.64 20 Transmission 93 UT 12 UT 20 Mediality 12 UYM 93 UYM 01 06 03 00 The mediality of transmission and the materiality of communication result today more than ever in “acting at a distance” – an action whose agency lies in a medium.

Three vivid inquiries deal with histories and theories of mediality and materiality. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Action-at-a-Distance.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Simon Fraser University 01 programname Canada 150 Research Chairs Program Lüneburg 04 19 2020 06 15 9783957961525 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/action-at-a-distance 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/978-3-95796-152-5-Action-at-a-Distance.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:9f3d4c12-64dd-4156-8c8c-ca8faf135ca4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9f3d4c12-64dd-4156-8c8c-ca8faf135ca4 15 9783957961815 06 10.14619/1808 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Aesthetic Experience of Metabolic Processes 1 A01 Desiree Förster 01 eng 00 184 03 20 Design 93 JBCT 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Aesthetics 12 AFKP 93 ATN 10 PHI001000 12 HPN 20 Metabolism 93 QDTN 20 Atmospheres 20 Senses 20 Art 20 Experience 01 06 03 00 Simultaneously speculative and inspired by everyday experiences, this volume develops an aesthetics of metabolism that offers a new perspective on the human-environment relation, one that is processual, relational, and not dependent on conscious thought. In art installations, design prototypes, and research-creation projects that utilize air, light, or temperature to impact subjective experience the author finds aesthetic milieus that shift our awareness to the role of different sense modalities in aesthetic experience. Metabolic and atmospheric processes allow for an aesthetics besides and beyond the usually dominant visual sense.Aesthetic Experience of Metabolic Processes is part of the series Future Ecologies dedicated to rethink the multiple ecologies that flourish and struggle on Earth and beyond. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/978-3-95796-181-5_Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2021 06 15 9783957961808 06 15 9783957961815 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/978-3-95796-181-5_Aesthetic_-Experience_of_Metabolic_Processes.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/aesthetic-experience-of-metabolic-processes/ 99 04 urn:uuid:64150609-a549-4415-b8c1-814902f463ac 03 01 01 urn:uuid:64150609-a549-4415-b8c1-814902f463ac 15 9783957961662 06 10.14619/1655 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Affective Transformations Politics – Algorithms – Media 1 B01 Bernd Bösel 2 B01 Serjoscha Wiemer 3 A01 21 0000-0003-2943-9394 Marie-Luise Angerer 4 A01 21 0000-0001-6776-4089 Pierre Cassou-Noguès 5 A01 Jean Clam 6 A01 21 0000-0003-4543-3478 Mathias Fuchs 7 A01 Gabriele Gramelsberger 8 A01 Irina Kaldrack 9 A01 Dawid Kasprowicz 10 A01 21 0000-0001-7778-8965 Oliver Leistert 11 A01 Michaela Ott 12 A01 Markus Rautzenberg 13 A01 Andrew Ross 14 A01 21 0000-0003-4505-6422 Paul Stenner 01 eng 00 243 03 20 Algorithmen 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 04 BF511-593 12 JMQ 93 JMQ 10 PSY013000 20 Psychologie 12 JPA 93 JPA 20 Medien 10 POL010000 12 JPHV 93 JPHV 20 Politik 20 Ästhetik 12 PDR 93 PDR 20 Demokratie 12 HP 93 QD 20 Social Media 20 Affekt 20 Emotion 20 Populismus 01 06 03 00 The Affective Turn has lost its former innocence and euphoria. Affect Studies and its adjacent disciplines have now to prove that they can cope with the return of the affective real that technology, economy, and politics entail.Two seemingly contradictory developments serve as starting points for this volume. First, technological innovations such as affective computing, mood tracking, sentiment analysis, and social robotics all share a focus on the recognition and modulation of human affectivity. Affect gets measured, calculated, controlled. Secondly, recent developments in politics, social media usage, and right-wing journalism have contributed to a conspicuous rise of hate speech, cybermobbing, public shaming, “felt truths,” and resentful populisms. In a very specific way, politics as well as power have become affective.Affect gets mobilized, fomented, unleashed. When the ways we deal with our affectivity get unsettled in such a dramatic fashion, we have to rethink our ethical, aesthetical, political as well as legal regimes of affect organization. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Affective_Transformations-Cover_medium.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 projectname Affect- und Psychotechnology Studies Lüneburg 04 19 2020 06 15 9783957961655 06 15 9783957961662 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/9783957961662_Affective_Transformations.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/affective-transformations 99 04 urn:uuid:292d32ae-6768-44e7-ae18-7e6bc48b263f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:292d32ae-6768-44e7-ae18-7e6bc48b263f 15 9783957960917 06 10.14619/019 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Affektökologie Intensive Milieus und zufällige Begegnungen 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2943-9394 Marie-Luise Angerer 01 ger 00 72 03 20 Intervall 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Antagonismus 20 Umwelt 20 Empfinden 20 Dislokation 20 Intensität 20 Milieu 20 Intra-aktion 20 Politische Affizierung 01 06 03 00 Das Denken des Humanen wird in besonderer Weise von den medientechnologischen Verschiebungen des 20.

This book brings together different disciplinary understandings of “authenticity” in order to find alternative ways to approach mis- and disinformation that go beyond contemporary fact-checking and its search for the “authentic” truth. Patterned under the algorithmic flows of digital capitalism, authenticity itself is subject to variation, iteration, and outside influence. Linking cross-disciplinary research on the history and practices of algorithmic authenticity points to new research questions to understand the impact of algorithmic authenticity on social life and its role in contemporary information disorder. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Algorithmic_Authenticity_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2023 06 15 9783957962102 06 15 9783957962119 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/978-3-95796-211-9_Algorithmic_Authenticity.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/algorithmic-authenticity/ 99 04 urn:uuid:966892e1-59f8-4658-93ae-3d212a44b21d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:966892e1-59f8-4658-93ae-3d212a44b21d 15 9783957960665 06 10.14619/014 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Alleys of Your Mind Augmented Intelligence and Its Traumas 1 B01 Matteo Pasquinelli 2 A01 Benjamin H.

This book investigates images as well as the technologies that host them. Its three chapters discuss the boundaries that images cross and blur between humans, machines, and nature and the ways in which images are political, material, and visual. Exploring these boundaries of images, this book places itself at the limits of the visual and beyond what can be seen, understanding these as starting points for the production of new and radically different ways of knowing about the world and its becomings. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Boundary_Images_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Simon Fraser University 01 programname Canada 150 Research Chairs Program Lüneburg 04 19 2023 06 15 9783957960597 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/978-3-95796-059-7-Boundary-Images.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/boundary-images/ 99 04 urn:uuid:e77608d1-021d-4dd4-a38c-4ac98cf2d1cf 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e77608d1-021d-4dd4-a38c-4ac98cf2d1cf 15 9783957960894 06 10.14619/0887 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Configurations of Film 01 01 Children Reinventing Cinema Snapshots from the Early 21st Century 1 A01 Alexandra Schneider 2 A01 Wanda Strauven 01 eng 93 ATF 20 children 04 P87-96 10 PER004000 20 cinema 93 JBCT1 10 SOC052000 20 film 93 JN 20 camera 20 mobile phone 20 media archaeology 20 media culture 20 formats 20 play 01 06 03 00 Children today discover a new digital drawing tool, the camera-crayon, at a very young age.

Day-to-day politics are largely driven by economic lobbies in the interest of what Habermas calls their „generalised particularism,“ the threat to take jobs and tax revenues elsewhere. Citizens’ influence over politicians is twofold: they are asked for their input in elections, referenda, online consultations and surveys, and citizens can initiate issues where they see political action needed. Yet these “participative forces,” including NGOs, street rallies and charities, regularly fail to reach the ears of elected politicians as effectively as those of well-funded corporate lobbies. Also, this type of voluntary engagement often falls short of presenting the kind of reasoned challenges to the incumbents—by the electorate—that Habermas’ communicative action aimed at. A more powerful model would therefore organise the efforts of the electorate in a way that both generates those reasoned arguments, which, as Habermas quite correctly pointed out differ from mere opinions, and delivers them to the elected politicians in a manner they can neither refuse nor ignore. This is what the Citizen Lobby intends to do. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Olsen-Cover_small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960450 06 15 9783957960467 06 15 9783957960474 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/citizen-lobby 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/9783957960467-Citizen-Lobby.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:473fcddc-23ee-46a4-8ffa-afa5020ac540 03 01 01 urn:uuid:473fcddc-23ee-46a4-8ffa-afa5020ac540 15 9783957961464 06 10.14619/1464 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Communication 1 A01 21 0000-0001-8296-6041 Paula Bialski 2 A01 Finn Brunton 3 A01 21 0000-0003-2876-0522 Mercedes Bunz 01 eng 00 136 03 20 Communication 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 10 COM043000 20 Digital Media 12 UT 93 UT 20 Media Studies 01 06 03 00 Contemporary communication puts us not only in conversation with one another but also with our machinery. Machine communication—to communicate not just via but also with machines—is therefore the focus of this volume. Diving into digital communications history, Finn Brunton brings to the fore the alienness of computational communication by looking at network timekeeping, automated trolling, and early attempts at communication with extraterrestrial life. Picking up this fascination with inhuman communication, Mercedes Bunz then performs a close reading of interaction design and interfaces to show how technology addresses humans (as very young children). Finally, Paula Bialski shares her findings from a field study of software development, analyzing the communicative forms that occur when code is written by separate people. Today, communication unfolds merely between two or more conscious entities but often includes an invisible third party. Inspired by this drastic shift, this volume uncovers new meanings of what it means “to communicate.” 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/communication_cover_small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2019 06 15 9783957961464 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/communication/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/9783957961464-Communication.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:714e307f-5d81-44ef-811a-4483dd88b32e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:714e307f-5d81-44ef-811a-4483dd88b32e 15 9783957962195 06 10.14619/2188 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Containment Technologies of Holding, Filtering, Leaking 1 B01 21 0000-0003-2943-9394 Marie-Luise Angerer 2 B01 21 0000-0001-8448-5778 Ingrid Richardson 3 B01 Hannah Schmedes 4 B01 Zoë Sofoulis 5 A01 21 0000-0002-1105-5977 Daniela Agostinho 6 A01 21 0000-0002-1755-5075 Hélène Frichot 7 A01 Meredith Jones 8 A01 Chris Otter 9 A01 Paul Graham Raven 10 A01 Helen Runting 11 A01 21 0000-0002-5664-621X Yolande Strengers 12 A01 21 0000-0001-6094-2970 Nanna Bonde Thylstrup 13 A01 Dinesh Wadiwel 01 eng 00 220 03 10 BISAC052000 20 Daten 93 JBCT1 04 P87-96 04 HQ1101-2030.7 93 JBFU 20 Medien 10 SOC010000 93 JBSF11 20 Philosophie 10 SCI075000 04 SF1-1100 20 Körper 93 PDR 04 Q1-390 10 SCI075000 20 Feminismus 20 Container 20 Tierrechte 01 06 03 00 Containers are ubiquitous and inescapable. From handbags to houses, barrels to databases, captivating gameworlds to the “bag of stars” that Ursula Le Guin calls the universe, containers furnish infrastructures for living and action while extending our capacities for managing things across space and time. They not only give shape to our lifeworlds: they form and transform our bodies and being.The chapters in Containment: Technologies of Holding, Filtering, Leaking traverse technologies, bodies, ontologies and imaginaries, reflecting on what different container technologies, containment strategies, and container metaphors tell us about ourselves and how we relate to our worlds. With common reference to Zoë Sofia’s (2000) foundational essay on container technologies, contributors draw on media and cultural studies, social history, architecture, and postdualistic approaches in philosophy and social science to explore liminalities of containment both as and beyond holding. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Containment_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2024 06 15 9783957962188 06 15 9783957962195 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/containment/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/978-3-95796-219-5-Containment-OA.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:240dac06-209a-44ff-b038-c7b4ac18b927 03 01 01 urn:uuid:240dac06-209a-44ff-b038-c7b4ac18b927 15 9783957960498 06 10.14619/0481 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Counter-Dancing Digitality On Commoning and Computation 1 A01 21 0000-0002-7922-735X Shintaro Miyazaki 01 eng 00 101 03 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 93 ATN 10 BUS029000 93 KCSA 93 QDTS1 01 06 03 00 Digitality is imposed upon us! To change this, we should not turn away from it, but look carefully into its transformative power and make operable alternatives such as counter-algorhythms and solidarity-oriented commoning. The aim is a world where profit and property no longer exist, but instead where a cooperative dance – between all the needs posed by our ecosystems, and all the needs of people – becomes practicable. This book is a critical media theory of future-building, modulated by a focus on the potentials of counter-dancing as providing ways to unfold fugitive practices. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/978-3-95796-049-8_Miyazaki_Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2023 06 15 9783957960481 06 15 9783957960498 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/978-3-95796-049-8_Miyazaki.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/counter-dancing-digitality/ 99 04 urn:uuid:b194856c-33a3-442d-a913-3ac00088b02e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b194856c-33a3-442d-a913-3ac00088b02e 15 9783957962218 06 10.14619/2201 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Material Trajectories Designing With Care? 1 B01 21 0009-0003-0923-5682 Léa Perraudin 2 B01 Clemens Winkler 3 B01 21 0000-0002-5637-6889 Claudia Mareis 4 B01 Matthias Held 5 A01 Sename Koffi Agbodjinou 6 A01 Viola S.

Concerned with new forms of caretaking, it combines positions from the extended fields of design research and humanities scholarship including practice-based approaches. The contributions explore current ecological conditions through multiple acts of making-with and seek to complicate questions of sustainability, livability, and cooperation. In reassessing the status quo in design and architecture as material practices, they provide outlines for a nuanced reading of these worldmaking processes and ask what different ways of designing with care and complicity might entail. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Material-Trajectories-Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Germany's Excellence Strategy 01 projectname Matters of Activity.

If so-called machine learning comprises a statistical approach to pattern extraction, then neural networks can be defined as a biologically inspired model that relies on probabilistically weighted neuron-like units to identify such patterns. Far from signaling the ultimate convergence of human and machine intelligence, however, neural networks highlight the technologization of neurophysiology that characterizes virtually all strands of neuroscientific and AI research of the past century. Taking this traffic as its starting point, this volume explores how cognition came to be constructed as essentially computational in nature, to the point of underwriting a technologized view of human biology, psychology, and sociability, and how countermovements provide resources for thinking otherwise. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/978-3-95796-083-2-Neural-Networks-300dpi.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Simon Fraser University 01 programname Canada 150 Research Chairs Program Lüneburg 04 19 2024 06 15 9783957960832 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/neural-networks 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/978-3-95796-083-2-Neural-Networks.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:33e93b1b-167d-4ca8-ae6c-1e57c9d7bb4b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:33e93b1b-167d-4ca8-ae6c-1e57c9d7bb4b 15 9783957962058 06 10.14619/2041 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Nonconscious On the Affective Synching of Mind and Machine 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2943-9394 Marie-Luise Angerer 01 eng 00 87 03 20 affect 93 JBCT1 04 P87-96 93 JM 20 technical environments 20 smart objects 93 TB 20 sensors 93 UKL 20 body 20 human agency 20 nonhuman agency 20 psychoanalysis 01 06 03 00 Growing numbers of nonhuman companions (smart objects, technical environments, sensor technologies used to augment the human body) are creating affective synching between human and nonhuman agency.

But how is this nonconscious to be understood? Is it something additional, a new zone intervening between the unconscious and consciousness?

Dabei gewinnt die in den 1970er Jahren von James Lovelock gemeinsam mit Lynn Margulis entwickelte Gaia-Theorie heute neue Erklärungskraft. Wenn Gaia bei Bruno Latour sogar zum allgemeinen Modell der Welterklärung im 21. Jahrhundert wird, gilt es, nach der Plausibilität zu fragen, die die Rede von Gaia aktuell entwickelt. Die vier Beiträge des Bandes geben hierauf eine Antwort, indem sie die metaphorologischen und begriffshistorischen Linien der Gaia-Theorie nachzeichnen und ihren Bezug auf zeitgenössische Computersimulationen in den Blick nehmen. So wird der gegenwärtige Ort des Wiederauflebens Gaias deutlich – und damit die Verschränkung von kybernetischen und organizistischen Ökologien mit der Annahme einer Programmierbarkeit von Umgebungen. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/9783957961204-Cover_small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2018 06 15 9783957961204 06 15 9783957961211 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/9783957961211-Oekologien_der_Erde.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/okologien-der-erde 99 04 urn:uuid:d77159e0-b2c4-49e5-97db-f85a52198b9e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d77159e0-b2c4-49e5-97db-f85a52198b9e 15 9783957961518 06 10.14619/1518 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Organize 1 A01 Timon Beyes 2 A01 21 0000-0001-9997-9455 Lisa Conrad 3 A01 Reinhold Martin 4 Z01 21 0000-0002-3554-6543 Geert Lovink 5 Z01 21 0000-0003-0710-2109 Ned Rossiter 01 eng 00 115 03 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 20 Power 10 SOC052000 20 Domination 12 JHB 93 JHB 10 SOC026000 12 JP 93 JP 20 Organization 20 Emancipation 20 Control 20 Disruption 20 Digital Media 20 Politics 20 Surveillance 01 06 03 00 Digital media technologies re-pose the question of organization—and thus of power and domination, control and surveillance, disruption and emancipation.

Highlighting media’s adaptability, malleability, and scalability under the conditions of a pandemic, the contributions to this volume track and analyze how media emerge, operate, and change in response to the global crisis and provide elements toward an understanding of the post-pandemic world to come. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Pandemic_Media_Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2020 06 15 9783957960085 06 15 9783957960092 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/pandemic-media/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/9783957960092_Pandemic_Media.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:bbb6aad2-8809-47e9-8f14-b6f28990ef70 03 01 01 urn:uuid:bbb6aad2-8809-47e9-8f14-b6f28990ef70 15 9783957961457 06 10.14619/1457 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Pattern Discrimination 1 A01 21 0000-0002-7619-3801 Clemens Apprich 2 A01 Florian Cramer 3 A01 Wendy Hui Kyong Chun 4 A01 Hito Steyerl 01 eng 00 124 03 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 20 Media Studies 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Artificial Intelligence 10 COM051300 93 UMB 12 UMB 10 COM004000 20 Critical Algorithms Studies 12 UYQ 93 UYQ 93 UYQ 01 06 03 00 Algorithmic identity politics reinstate old forms of social segregation—in a digital world, identity politics is pattern discrimination.

Diese Entscheidungen betreffen den besten Pfad zum Ziel, die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit oder die Priorität zwischen den ankommenden Paketen.In ihrer vielschichtigen Gestalt bilden solche Mikroentscheidungen eine bislang nur marginal beachtete Dimension von Kontrolle und Überwachung im 21. Jahrhundert. Sie sind sowohl die kleinste Einheit als auch die technische Voraussetzung einer gegenwärtigen Politik digitaler Netzwerke – und des Widerstands gegen sie. Die aktuellen Debatten um Netzneutralität und Edward Snowdens Enthüllung der NSA-Überwachung bilden dabei lediglich die Spitze des Eisbergs.

How do post-cinematic media technologies such as AI, VR, and robotics target and re-shape our bodies? Post-Cinematic Bodies grapples with these questions by attending both to mundane devices—such as smartphones, networked exercise machines, and smart watches and other wearables equipped with heartrate sensors—as well as to new media artworks that rework such equipment to reveal to us the ways that our fleshly existences are increasingly up for grabs. Through an equally philosophical and interpretive analysis, the book aims to develop a new aesthetics of embodied experience that is attuned to a new age of predictive technology and metabolic capitalism. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Denson_Post-Cinematic_Bodies_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2023 06 15 9783957960436 06 15 9783957960443 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/post-cinematic-bodies/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/978-3-95796-044-3_Denson.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:91343972-c0a7-48ed-890b-c6a4b6caec92 03 01 01 urn:uuid:91343972-c0a7-48ed-890b-c6a4b6caec92 15 9783957962157 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Deine Kamera ist eine App Über Medienverflechtungen des Applizierens und Appropriierens 1 B01 Elisa Linseisen 2 B01 Alena Strohmaier 3 A01 21 0000-0002-9446-6762 Nicole Braida 4 A01 21 0000-0003-1691-8898 Anne Ganzert 5 A01 21 0000-0003-1114-4336 Angela Jouini 6 A01 21 0009-0007-1705-3255 Florian Krautkrämer 7 A01 Laura Katharina Mücke 8 A01 21 0000-0003-0367-9090 Simone Pfeifer 01 ger 00 231 03 93 JBCT 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Soziale Medien 93 AJF 10 PER004000 20 Software 93 ATF 10 PHO014000 20 Serious Games 20 Fototheorie 93 JPW 93 UDT 20 Ukraine-Krieg 20 Aktivismus 20 Kamera 20 Smartphone 20 Dokumentarfilm 20 Apps 20 Widerstand 20 MENA-Region 20 Format 01 06 03 00 Der vorliegende Band untersucht systematisch das Verhältnis von digitalen Kameras und ihren softwaretechnischen Grundlagen, die wir unter „Apps“ zusammenfassen. Als konzeptuelles Framing in der Auseinandersetzung mit dieser medialen Verbindung aus Kamera/App wählen wir das ästhetische wie theoretische Spektrum aus Techniken des Appropriierens und Applizierens und damit verbundene Theorietraditionen der Filmwissenschaft sowie der Software, Platform und App Studies. Mit dem programmatischen Befund ‚Deine Kamera ist eine App‘ soll in vier dialogischen Textpaaren dem offenen Themenfeld zwischen Appropriation/Applikation und seiner zeitgenössischen Brisanz wie historischen Tiefe entlang übergreifender Konzepte wie Partizipation, Format und Widerstand nachgegangen werden. Dabei beleuchtet der Band die Verbindung von Ästhetik und Technik, Kunst und Software und wendet sich neben dem Film auch den sogenannten Medienkünsten, dokumentarischen Videoformaten, Selbstdokumentationen und dem Gaming zu. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/978-3-95796-214-0_Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung 01 programname Kleine Fächer – Große Potenziale 01 projectname „Filmische Aneignungsprozesse von Videos der populären Aufstandsbewegungen 2009–11 im Mittleren Osten und Nordafrika" Lüneburg 04 19 2023 06 15 9783957962140 06 15 9783957962157 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/978-3-95796-215-7-Deine_Kamera_ist_eine_App.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/deine-kamera-ist-eine-app 99 04 urn:uuid:d4128974-60ee-467c-b337-7001c37d6de5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d4128974-60ee-467c-b337-7001c37d6de5 15 9783957962256 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Democratic Algorithms Ethnography of a Public Recommender System 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6928-2099 Nikolaus Poechhacker 01 eng 00 214 03 93 JBCT1 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 STS 20 algorithm studies 93 JPHV 10 POL007000 10 COM051300 20 public broadcasting 93 UMB 20 recommender systems 20 media studies 01 06 03 00 Can an algorithm be democratic? And how can we understand algorithms not only as technical, but also as social and political phenomena? Democratic Algorithms offers theoretically and empirically informed perspectives on how we can imagine and design algorithms for a democratic society, and what we even mean by that. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book illustrates how a recommender system was built in a public broadcaster, raising questions not only about organizational and technical implementation, but also about the possible compatibility of such an algorithmic system with democratic constitutions. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/9783957962249_Poechhacker_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2024 06 15 9783957962249 06 15 9783957962256 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/978-3-95796-225-6-Democratic-Algorithms.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/democratic-algorithms 99 04 urn:uuid:446d6ab7-31df-4ee5-86d7-0f7cb31f0f1b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:446d6ab7-31df-4ee5-86d7-0f7cb31f0f1b 15 9783957960160 06 10.14619/003 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Die verschiedenen Modi der Existenz 1 A01 Étienne Souriau 4 Z01 Thomas Wäckerle 01 ger 20 Ästhetik 04 B1-5802 12 HPCF3 10 PHI006000 93 QDHR5 04 BH1-301 20 Bruno Latour 12 HPN 10 PHI001000 93 QDTN 20 ANT 20 Philosophie 20 Existenzweisen 01 06 03 00 „Wäre die Philosophie auch nur eine Stunde der Mühe wert, wenn sie uns nicht für das Leben rüstete?“ Gezielten Schrittes entwirft der französische Philosoph Étienne Souriau in diesem dicht gedrängten Buch eine Grammatik der Existenz. Im Fokus steht nicht nur ihre Theorie, sondern auch die tatsächliche Ausübung der „Kunst des Existierens“. Wie Gilles Deleuze und William James vertritt Souriau dabei die These eines existenziellen Pluralismus: Es gibt Phänomene, Dinge, das Virtuelle, fiktionale Wesen – die Existenz ist polyphon. Souriaus radikale Herangehensweise hat auch Bruno Latour und Isabelle Stengers entscheidend beeinflusst. In ihrer ausführlichen Einleitung zu Souriaus Text von 1943 und dem ebenfalls zum ersten Mal in deutscher Sprache veröffentlichten Vortrag „Über den Modus der Existenz des zu vollbringenden Werks“ (1956) zeigt sich eindrucksvoll die Aktualität seines Denkens. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Souriau-Die-verschiedenen-Modi-der-Exiszenz-WEB-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960153 06 15 9783957960160 06 15 9783957960177 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/9783957960160-Souriau-Modi_der_Existenz.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/die-verschiedenen-modi-der-existenz 99 04 urn:uuid:d2508c39-cb2a-4a0f-9e0e-0b771f1dbe80 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d2508c39-cb2a-4a0f-9e0e-0b771f1dbe80 15 9783957960764 06 10.14619/012 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Diversity of Play 1 B01 21 0000-0003-4543-3478 Mathias Fuchs 2 A01 21 0000-0003-2189-0025 Astrid Ensslin 3 A01 21 0000-0002-0744-4144 Tanya Krzywinska 4 A01 Karen Palmer 5 A01 Markus Rautzenberg 01 eng 00 112 03 10 COM012040 20 Game Studies 04 P87-96 93 UDX 12 UDX 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 20 Ludology 10 SOC052000 10 BUS070060 20 Gamification 93 KNT 12 KNT 20 Ludification 12 UGG 93 UGG 20 Gothic 93 UMK 12 UMK 20 Play Studies 20 DiGRA 20 Narratology 20 Diversity 01 06 03 00 The early days when digital games were new, harmless, and a niche are long gone. Today’s games can simulate battlefields, predict disaster, and crash markets. We are faced with a diversity of play and the ubiquity of games, making them not only a popular medium, but the leading medium of our contemporary society. Based on the keynote lectures held at DiGRA2015, “Diversity of Play” provides a critical view on the current stage of digital games from a theoretic, artistic, and practical perspective by pointing towards the uncanny, the power of “unnatural” narratives, and the exceptions and uncertainties of digital ludic environments. With an interview with Karen Palmer and essays by Astrid Ensslin, Mathias Fuchs, Tanya Krzywinska, and Markus Rautzenberg. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Diversity-of-Play-Cover_small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960757 06 15 9783957960764 06 15 9783957960771 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/diversity-of-play 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/978-3-95796-076-4-Diversity-of-Play.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:59ecdda1-efd8-45d2-b6a6-11bc8fe480f5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:59ecdda1-efd8-45d2-b6a6-11bc8fe480f5 15 9783957961907 06 10.14619/1891 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Earth and Beyond in Tumultuous Times A Critical Atlas of the Anthropocene 1 B01 Réka Patrícia Gál 2 B01 Petra Löffler 3 A01 Jakob Claus 4 A01 Jörg Dünne 5 A01 Marie Heinrichs 6 A01 Hannah Schmedes 7 A01 Tomás J.

It addresses the urgent geopolitical and environmental questions raised by the new geological epoch. How are we to rethink landscapes, such as river deltas, oceans, or outer space? How can we create spaces for resistance and utopic dreaming? This volume confronts these questions by charting how space and place are constructed, deconstructed, and negotiated by humans and non-humans under conditions of globally entangled consumption, movement, and contamination. The essays in this volume are complemented by artistic interventions that offer a poetics for a harmed planet and the numerous worlds it contains.Earth and Beyond in Tumultuous Times is part of the series Future Ecologies dedicated to rethink the multiple ecologies that flourish and struggle on Earth and beyond. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/978-3-95796-189-1_Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2021 06 15 9783957961891 06 15 9783957961907 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/978-3-95796-189-1_Earth-and-Beyond.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/earth-and-beyond-in-tumultuous-times/ 99 04 urn:uuid:a3358bd7-38eb-4a1b-b045-ca1abdec6882 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a3358bd7-38eb-4a1b-b045-ca1abdec6882 15 9783957960962 06 10.14619/020 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Ecology of Affect Intensive Milieus and Contingent Encounters 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2943-9394 Marie-Luise Angerer 2 Z01 Gerrit Jackson 01 eng 00 70 03 20 dislocation 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 ecology 20 milieu 20 feeling 20 antagonism 20 interval 20 intensity 20 political affect 20 affect 01 06 03 00 The way we conceive the human today is particularly affected by the shifts in media technology during the 20th century.

Jahrhundert? Diese Frage diskutieren 37 zeitgenössische Medienwissenschaftler_innen. Ihre Antworten stehen in einem reizvollen Kontrast zu Interviews, die 2007 entstanden und jetzt online zugänglich gemacht worden sind. Viele der ursprünglich Befragten sind erneut beteiligt, neue Stimmen kamen hinzu. Dabei zeigt sich im Vergleich: Die Medienwissenschaften sind diverser geworden, und manche Zukunftserwartung wurde drastisch revidiert. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/9783957961785-Medium_McLuhan_Cover_s.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2020 06 15 9783957961778 06 15 9783957961785 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/9783957961785-Medium_McLuhan.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/ein-medium-namens-mcluhan/ 99 04 urn:uuid:34098e5e-24d9-4c8d-90fe-101d7db7feeb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:34098e5e-24d9-4c8d-90fe-101d7db7feeb 15 9783957962270 06 10.14619/2263 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Elementare Ekstasen Sondierungen der Technosphäre 1 A01 21 0009-0003-0923-5682 Léa Perraudin 01 ger 00 338 03 93 ATN 04 P87-96 10 PER004000 93 ATF 10 SOC052000 93 JBCT1 10 SCI020000 93 PSAF 93 QD 93 UYZG 01 06 03 00 Elementare Ekstasen überschwemmen, erodieren und evaporieren die wohlsortierten Grenzziehungen zwischen Technik, Umwelt und Mensch.

Was hieße es, die planetarische Implikation der Technosphäre aus Mikroperspektiven zu denken, mit ihren Überlappungen, Leerstellen, Fragmentierungen, Akkumulationen des Technischen zu schreiben? Entlang ihrer materiellen Prozessualität werden elementare Medien wie Regen, Minerale, Staub und Schaum zur Gegenwartsdiagnose. Angesichts der umfassenden Ökologisierungstendenzen und ihrer experimentellen Verarbeitung in Medienkunst und Interfacedesign verdichtet sich ein kritisches Begriffsinventar, das die makrologische Karriere des Technischen anders denkt. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Perraudin-Elementare-Ekstasen-Cover-300dpi.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Exzellenzstrategie des Bundes und der Länder 01 projectname Matters of Activity.

Seine vielfältigen utopischen Potenziale ergeben sich nicht zuletzt aus seinen ebenso vielfältigen und häufig übersehenen medialen Qualitäten: Es vermittelt, es verbindet, es übersetzt; es modifiziert Wahrnehmung und Organisation von Raum und Zeit, von Körpern und von Sozialität. Umgekehrt kann auch das medienwissenschaftliche Denken fahrradmedial verändert werden. Das Fahrrad ist nicht nur Medium des sozialen und ökologischen Wandels: Radfahren eröffnet Perspektiven, verändert Räume, lässt neue Relationen entstehen und teilt Handlungsmacht neu auf.Fahrradutopien denkt vom Fahrrad aus und ergänzt dabei bestehende Ansätze zur Mobilitätsforschung um medienkulturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven. Die Beiträge verbinden Medienwissenschaften und Forschungen zu Fahrradaktivismus mit der Liebe zum Radfahren.

And yet this power seems incomprehensible: understood as code, it becomes apolitical; understood as a totality, it becomes overwhelming. This book takes an alternate approach, using it to unravel the operations of Uber and Palantir, Airbnb and Amazon Alexa. Moving off the whiteboard and into the world, the algorithmic must negotiate with frictions—the ‘merely’ technical routines of distributing data and running tasks coming together into broader social forces that shape subjectivities, steer bodies, and calibrate relationships. Driven by the imperatives of capital, the algorithmic exhausts subjects and spaces, a double move seeking to both exhaustively apprehend them and exhaust away their productivities. But these on-the-ground encounters also reveal that force is never guaranteed. The irreducibility of the world renders logic inadequate and control gives way to contingency. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Munn_U1_web-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2018 06 15 9783957961402 06 15 9783957961419 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/9783957961419_Munn_Ferocious_Logics.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/ferocious-logics 99 04 urn:uuid:40c7d203-9e7e-41f1-8bdd-bd390b82ab38 03 01 01 urn:uuid:40c7d203-9e7e-41f1-8bdd-bd390b82ab38 15 9783957961563 06 10.14619/1556 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Format Matters Standards, Practices, and Politics in Media Cultures 1 B01 Marek Jancovic 2 B01 Axel Volmar 3 B01 Alexandra Schneider 4 A01 21 0000-0001-7807-2010 Erika Balsom 5 A01 Oliver Fahle 6 A01 Florian Hoof 7 A01 Elisa Linseisen 8 A01 21 0000-0002-1689-7233 Ramon Lobato 9 A01 21 0000-0001-6737-6959 Roland Meyer 10 A01 Kalani Michell 11 A01 Antonio Somaini 12 A01 Markus Stauff 13 A01 Wanda Strauven 14 A01 21 0000-0002-2907-4586 Julian Thomas 01 eng 00 285 03 12 APFA 93 ATN 20 Formats 04 P87-96 10 PER004030 93 ATFA 20 Formatting 12 GLP 10 LAN025020 93 GLP 12 JFD 20 Media Cultures 10 SOC052000 10 BUS070060 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 20 Politics 10 COM030000 93 JBCT2 12 JFDT 20 Practices 12 KNT 93 KNT 20 Standards 12 UKS 93 UKS 01 06 03 00 From TIFF files to TED talks, from book sizes to blues stations—the term “format” circulates in a staggering array of contexts and applies to entirely dissimilar objects and practices. How can such a pliable notion meaningfully function as an instrument of classification in so many industries and scientific communities? Comprising a wide range of case studies on the standards, practices, and politics of formats from scholars of photography, film, radio, television, and the Internet, Format Matters charts the many ways in which formats shape and are shaped by past and present media cultures. This volume represents the first sustained collaborative effort to advance the emerging field of format studies. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Format-Matters-Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2020 06 15 9783957961556 06 15 9783957961563 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/format-matters 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/978-3-95796-156-3-Format-Matters.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:85261c62-801d-41e9-961f-456bae51e842 03 01 01 urn:uuid:85261c62-801d-41e9-961f-456bae51e842 15 9783957961990 06 10.14619/1983 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Digital Cultures 01 01 Foucault, digital 1 A01 Bernhard J.

Besonders in der Archäologie des Wissens hat er dafür plädiert, die Geschichte des Wissens und der Wissenschaften zum Gegenstand diskursanalytischer Untersuchungen zu machen. Über ein halbes Jahrhundert später ist im Bereich der Informatik ein zunehmendes Interesse an der Diskursanalyse zu verzeichnen. In der Regel spielt Foucault dabei aber keine Rolle. Fern von jeder Archäologie setzen auch die Digital Humanities vermehrt auf die Analyse von historischen und gegenwärtigen Diskursen. Angesichts dieser Konjunkturen ist es an der Zeit, die Archäologie des Wissens neu zu lesen. Denn schon 1968 behauptete der französische Historiker Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie „Der zukünftige Historiker wird Programmierer sein, oder er wird nicht sein.“ Ein Jahr später gibt Foucault mit seinem Buch auf eben diese Herausforderung eine ebenso informierte wie nuancierte Antwort. Diese Antwort ist in ihrer Aktualität und Relevanz erst noch zu entdecken. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/DotzlerSchmidgen_Foucault-Digital_L.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2022 06 15 9783957961983 06 15 9783957961990 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/978-3-95796-199-0_Foucault-Digital.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/foucault-digital/ 99 04 urn:uuid:b2ce3a55-dab4-407a-b698-7c8090cbcab0 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b2ce3a55-dab4-407a-b698-7c8090cbcab0 15 9783957962393 06 10.14619/2386 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Fragile Evidenz Videodokumente illegaler Zurückweisungen an Europas Grenzen 1 A01 21 0009-0003-0801-7552 Anna Polze 01 ger 93 ATN 20 Medientheorie 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 10 ART046000 20 Dokumentation 93 JBCT1 93 AFKV 20 forensische Medienpraktiken 20 digitale Bildkulturen 20 Forensic Architecture 01 06 03 00 Pushbacks finden systematisch an den EU-Außengrenzen statt.

Fragile Evidenz stellt die Frage, wie aus einem gescheiterten Fluchtversuch eine aussagekräftige Falldarstellung europäischer Grenzregime entstehen kann. Es begreift die Dokumentation illegaler Zurückweisungen als mediale Aushandlungen von Sichtbarkeit und Hörbarkeit, Aufmerksamkeit, öffentlicher Anerkennung und vor allem Evidenz.Eine zehnminütige Videoinvestigation der Rechercheagentur Forensic Architecture erweist sich als Symptom für die Krisen politischen Auftretens in digitalen Medien. Sie wird detailliert als Montage von Smartphone-Dokumenten fliehender Personen und den Medien forensischer Verifikation aufgeschlüsselt. Im Zentrum steht die Spannung zwischen Fluchtauftritt und Evidenzprozess, das Wechselspiel von ästhetischen Strategien und rhetorischen Wirksamkeiten, von Situiertheit und Infrastrukturen. Fragile Evidenz ist eine analytische Reaktion auf die anwachsende Präsenz forensischer Medienpraktiken in digitalen Bildkulturen. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Fragile-Evidenz-Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname DFG-Graduiertenkolleg 2132 01 projectname Das Dokumentarische.

Through a series of case studies focused on cybernetics, systems research, and some of their more contemporary inheritors, this book argues that such a middle space, the topology of frictions, offers significant insights to assess the historical and epistemological relevance of these interconnected fields. Characterized here as cybernetic thinking, this broad area of theoretical and applied projects would conceal, precisely within its frictions, the operational principles of our present. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Cover_Frictions.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin 01 programname Open Access Publication Fund Lüneburg 04 19 2023 06 15 9783957962164 06 15 9783957962171 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/978-3-95796-217-1-_Frictions.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/frictions/ 99 04 urn:uuid:bed1bcda-84e2-47cd-9f60-15bc20bf90e3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:bed1bcda-84e2-47cd-9f60-15bc20bf90e3 15 9783957960610 06 10.14619/011 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Media, Democracy & Political Process 01 01 The Political Structure of UK Broadcasting 1949–1999 1 A01 David Elstein 01 eng 00 208 03 20 Broadcasting 93 GTC 12 GTC 10 LAN004000 04 P87-96 93 JBCT2 12 JFDT 20 media policy 10 PER010000 04 TK5101-6720 20 BBC 01 06 03 00 In 1999 David Elstein delivered a lecture series examining the evolvement of UK Broadcasting policy from 1949 to 1999.

These decisions concern the most efficient path through the network, the processing speed, or the priority of incoming data packets.Despite their multifaceted nature, micro-decisions are a dimension of control and surveillance in the twenty-first century that has received little critical attention. They represent the smallest unit and the technical precondition of a contemporary network politics – and of our potential opposition to it. The current debates regarding net neutrality and Edward Snowden’s revelation of NSA surveillance are only the tip of the iceberg. What is at stake is nothing less than the future of the Internet as we know it. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/9783957960412-Sprenger-The_Politics_of_Micro-Descisions_COVER.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovationsinkubator 16 Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur 01 programname Niedersächsisches Vorab 16 Volkswagen Foundation 01 programname Niedersächsisches Vorab Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960405 06 15 9783957960412 06 15 9783957960429 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/the-politics-of-micro-decisions/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/9783957960412-Sprenger-The_Politics_of_Micro-Descisions.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:9d876020-fb2f-4fdb-a5d9-93c1e43ae8a2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9d876020-fb2f-4fdb-a5d9-93c1e43ae8a2 15 9783957960566 06 10.14619/008 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Digital Cultures 01 01 There is no Software, there are just Services 1 B01 Irina Kaldrack 2 B01 Martina Leeker 3 A01 21 0000-0002-5570-7201 Seth Erickson 4 A01 21 0000-0001-5391-0292 Anders Fagerjord 5 A01 21 0000-0003-0253-5554 Christopher Kelty 6 A01 21 0000-0002-2660-5249 Andrew Lison 7 A01 21 0000-0003-2696-1064 Liam Magee 8 A01 Christoph Neubert 9 A01 21 0000-0002-2248-6377 Jussi Parikka 10 A01 21 0000-0003-0710-2109 Ned Rossiter 01 eng 00 114 03 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 20 services 10 SOC052000 20 social media 20 knowledge 20 programming 20 software 20 cultural technique 20 data 20 business models 20 digital labor 01 06 03 00 Is software dead? Services like Google, Dropbox, Adobe Creative Cloud, or Social Media apps are all-pervasive in our digital media landscape. This marks the (re)emergence of the service paradigm that challenges traditional business and license models as well as modes of media creation and use. The short essays in this edited collection discuss how services shift the notion of software, the cultural technique of programming, conditions of labor as well as the ecology and politics of data and how they influence dispositifs of knowledge.Contributors: Ned Rossiter, Jussi Parikka, Christoph Neubert, Liam Magee, Andrew Lison, Christopher M.

For them, perhaps for us, it is a 39-minute and 13-second farewell. A long goodbye. My angle is different. By situating the Bowie/Renck collaboration on “Lazarus” in the context of a meditation on the question once posed by Georg Stanitzek, “Was ist Kommunikation?” I consider the CD and the video as experiments in re-configuration. More specifically, by thinking about the distinctly cinematic iteration of the question of communication (citing here Captain’s “what we have here is … failure to communicate” from Cool Hand Luke) I propose that mediated communication embodies the Ich/Es modality of dialogue disparaged by Martin Buber. What this invites us to consider is whether “Lazarus” in particular isn’t the generation of an audiovisual tombeau from which or out of which communication strains are to be heard. Is it “saying” farewell? Is it “saying” anything? By drawing on Jacques Derrida’s appropriation of the crypt in the work of Abraham and Torok, I propose that “Lazarus” manages (and the feat is neither small nor insignificant) to communicate nothing. In effect, “Lazarus” is the very sound, not of a failure to communicate, but of a “speaking” emptied of what protects it from mediation. Here, Bowie’s gnomic persona assumes a political valence not typically ascribed to it. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Mowitt_U1_small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2019 06 15 9783957960030 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/978-3-95796-003-0-Mowitt.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/tracks-from-the-crypt 99 04 urn:uuid:38872158-58b9-4ddf-a90e-f6001ac6c62d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:38872158-58b9-4ddf-a90e-f6001ac6c62d 15 9783957960818 06 10.14619/017 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Trick 17 Mediengeschichten zwischen Zauberkunst und Wissenschaft 1 A01 Sebastian Vehlken 2 A01 Katja Müller-Helle 3 A01 Müggenburg Jan 4 A01 21 0000-0002-5225-8711 Florian Sprenger 01 ger 00 120 03 93 JBCT 04 P87-96 20 Techniktricks 93 AJTF 20 Mediengeschichte 93 GPFC 20 Technikgeschichte 93 KNT 20 Spiritismus 93 QRYM2 20 Trick Photography 93 QRYX5 20 Trick Talking Head 93 TBX 20 Zauberhandbuch 20 Informationsgesellschaft 20 Ubiquitous Computing 20 Tricktechnik 20 Zauberei 01 06 03 00 Der Zauber der Medien speist sich aus ihrem Geheimnis: Den Usern von heute sind Laptop, Smartphone oder Tablet eine Blackbox, die ihre Sinne im Bann hält und die Techniktricks im Inneren hinter einer opaken Oberfläche verbirgt. Doch solche Verzauberung ist nicht neu. Umihr auf die Spur zu kommen, nähert sich dieses Buch der Mediengeschichte der Zauberei an der Schwelle zwischen magischem Moment und Ent-Täuschung. Nicht seltenfolgt einer geradezu übernatürlich wirkenden Zaubervorführung die wissenschaftliche Erklärung und Offenlegung ihrer Tricks. Ein solcher Akt der Entzauberung mag zwar magische Momente als faulen Zauber demaskieren. Er rückt dafür jedoch die Technologien der Täuschung ins Rampenlicht: Erst die Ausnutzung physikalischer Gesetze, das Konstruieren mechanischer Zauberapparate und das Spiel mit der Wahrnehmung der Zuschauer machen deren ,Verzauberung’ möglich. Sie erlaubt, die Frage nach Wissen, dem medialen Zugriff auf unsere Sinne und dem sinnlichen Zugriff auf unsere Welt erneut zu stellen. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Trick17-U1-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2016 06 15 9783957960801 06 15 9783957960818 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/9783957960818_Trick_17.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/trick-17/ 99 04 urn:uuid:9372f7a7-f72e-4a67-8818-9176667a1c52 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9372f7a7-f72e-4a67-8818-9176667a1c52 15 9783957962027 06 10.14619/2010 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Uexküll’s Surroundings Umwelt Theory and Right-Wing Thought 1 A01 Gottfried Schnödl 2 A01 21 0000-0002-5225-8711 Florian Sprenger 3 Z01 Michael Thomas Taylor 4 Z01 Wayne Yung 01 eng 00 252 03 93 JBCT 04 P87-96 20 Umwelt Theory 93 JBFA1 20 Nazism 93 JPFQ 20 New Right 93 PDA 20 Racism 20 Ecology 93 PSAF 93 QDTS 20 Uexküll 93 RNA 01 06 03 00 With its diversity of possible Umwelten or environments for living things, Jakob von Uexküll’s Umwelt theory has been hailed by many readers as the first step toward an innovative, pluralistic conception of nonhuman life. But what is generally ignored is its structural conservatism, its identitarian logic in which everything should remain in its place and nothing should mix, and its proximity to Nazi ideology and politics. By turning the spotlight on these neglected aspects, Uexküll’s Surroundings opens up a new perspective on Uexküll’s Umwelt theory. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Uexku%CC%88lls-Surroundings_Cover_En_300dpi.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2022 06 15 9783957962010 06 15 9783957962027 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/978-3-95796-202-7_Uexku%CC%88lls-Surroundings.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/uexkulls-surroundings/ 99 04 urn:uuid:548200fa-0468-4e56-9986-9b5b76ebc4f2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:548200fa-0468-4e56-9986-9b5b76ebc4f2 15 9783957961938 06 10.14619/1921 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Uexkülls Umgebungen Umweltlehre und rechtes Denken 1 A01 Gottfried Schnödl 2 A01 21 0000-0002-5225-8711 Florian Sprenger 01 ger 00 253 03 93 JBCT 20 Neue Rechte 04 P87-96 93 JBFA1 20 Rassismus 93 JPFQ 20 Nationalsozialismus 93 PDA 20 Uexküll 20 Ökologie 93 PSAF 93 QDTS 20 Umweltlehre 93 RNA 01 06 03 00 Die Lehre Jakob von Uexkülls wird oft mit anerkennendem Blick auf die Vielfalt möglicher Umwelten und als erster Schritt zu einem anderen, pluralen Nachdenken über nicht-menschliche Lebensformen gelesen. Ihr struktureller Konservatismus, ihre identitäre Logik, nach welcher alles an seinem Platz bleiben und sich nichts vermischen soll, und ihre Nähe zum Nationalsozialismus bleiben dabei in aller Regel außen vor.

Undoing Networks enables a different connectivity: “digital detox” is a luxury for stressed urbanites wishing to lead a mindful life. Self-help books advocate “digital minimalism” to recover authentic experiences of the offline. Artists envision a world without the internet. Activists mobilize against the expansion of the 5G network.If connectivity brought us virtual communities, information superhighways, and participatory culture, disconnection comes with privacy tools, Faraday shields, and figures of the shy. This book explores non-usage and the “right to disconnect” from work and from the excessive demands of digital capitalism. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Undoing_Networks_l.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Simon Fraser University 01 programname Canada 150 Research Chairs Program Lüneburg 04 19 2021 06 15 9783957961532 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/9783957961532-Undoing-Networks.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/undoing-networks/ 99 04 urn:uuid:dbc440f5-0d0d-4602-bbf1-1f5c4330e8ad 03 01 01 urn:uuid:dbc440f5-0d0d-4602-bbf1-1f5c4330e8ad 15 9783957961365 06 10.14619/1358 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Unterwachen und Schlafen Anthropophile Medien nach dem Interface 1 B01 Michael Andreas 2 B01 Dawid Kasprowicz 3 B01 Stefan Rieger 4 A01 Suzana Alpsancar 5 A01 Kevin Liggieri 6 A01 Anna Tuschling 01 ger 00 190 03 20 Ambient Assisted Living 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Anthropologie 10 BUS070060 93 JPV 12 JPV 10 COM079010 20 Embodiment 12 KNT 93 KNT 20 Künstliche Intelligenz 12 MBDC 93 MBDC 20 Computersimulation 12 HPQ 93 QDTQ 12 TJFM1 93 TJFM1 20 Wearables 20 Robotik 12 UYM 93 UYM 20 Surveillance 12 UYZ 93 UYZ 20 Autonomes Fahren 20 Affective Computing 01 06 03 00 Anthropophile Medien durchdringen zunehmend unsere lebensweltliche Realität, sei es im Ambient Assisted Living, als Pflegeassistenzsysteme, in den Arbeitsszenarien einer Industrie 4.0, als behagliche Interfaces des Affective Computing oder als Lifetracker der Quantified-Self-Bewegung. Verbunden ist damit der Einzug menschlicher Befindlichkeiten, Werte und sozialer Routinen in das Design medialer Agencies. Über 40 Jahre nach dem Erscheinen von Michel Foucaults "Surveiller et punir" gerät damit auch dessen Kritikbegriff ins Wanken. An die Stelle von "Überwachen und Strafen" tritt "Unterwachen und Schlafen". Unterwachen und Schlafen stellt nicht das theoretische Programm einer vollautomatisierten Lebenswelt in Aussicht, sondern das Konstrukt einer nunmehr medialen Umsetzung anthropologischer Grundelemente wie Autonomie, Freiheit oder Vertrauen. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/9783957961358-Cover-small-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2018 06 15 9783957961358 06 15 9783957961365 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/9783957961365_Unterwachen_und_Schlafen.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/unterwachen-und-schlafen/ 99 04 urn:uuid:9b240ce3-dbd0-48a7-aa24-c39c8d9509d4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9b240ce3-dbd0-48a7-aa24-c39c8d9509d4 15 9783957961310 06 10.14619/1303 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Von Open Access zu Open Science Zum Wandel digitaler Kulturen der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation 1 A01 21 0000-0001-8071-860X Christian Heise 01 ger 00 312 03 20 Digital Publishing 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 10 BUS070060 12 KNT 93 KNT 20 Scientific Communication 20 Digitalisierung 12 PDK 93 PDK 20 Wissenschaftskommunikation 20 Open Access 20 Open Science 20 Publikationswesen 01 06 03 00 Mit der Digitalisierung geht der Ruf nach freiem Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Forschungsergebnissen und einer Öffnung des Forschungsprozesses einher.

Zugleich lädt sie ein zu einer historischen Kartographierung und begrifflichen Konturierung von Medienästhetik, einer Diskussion ihrer unterschiedlichen Modellierungen und der sich daraus ergebenden Optionen für Kritik.Ziel ist es, den Begriff Medienästhetik offen zu halten und aus seiner Problematisierung immer wieder neue disziplinübergreifende Debatten anzustoßen. Das Jahrbuch bietet unterschiedlichen Projekten, Positionen und Fragestellungen Raum, die zueinander im Modus des Dissenses, der Überschneidung, der Assoziation, aber auch der inhaltlichen Weiterführung stehen können. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IJMM2024-FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 19 2024 06 15 9783957962409 06 15 9783957962416 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/ijmm2024-was-ist-medienaesthetik/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IJMM-2024-Was-ist-Mediena%CC%88sthetik.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b090bff9-4197-454d-8292-d1c6b31f8acf 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b090bff9-4197-454d-8292-d1c6b31f8acf 15 9783957960146 06 10.14619/0146 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Configurations of Film 01 01 Who Owns the Images?

In reality, digital image archives pose a complex set of technical, legal, ethical and methodological challenges, particularly for film and media studies and adjacent fields. In a series of studies and interviews with practitioners, scholars and theorists, this volume draws a detailed map of these challenges and offers perspectives for further research and creative practice. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/CoF_4_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2021 06 15 9783957960146 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/who-owns-the-images/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/978-3-95796-014-6_Lindeperg-Szczepanska.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:9cd6ec0a-5b57-4ddf-acd1-c149d5673467 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9cd6ec0a-5b57-4ddf-acd1-c149d5673467 15 9783957962621 06 10.14619/2614 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Zonen Für eine kritische Ökologie in den Geisteswissenschaften 1 B01 Jörg Dünne 2 B01 Eva Horn 3 B01 21 0000-0002-7217-6422 Birgit Schneider 4 A01 Florian Auerochs 5 A01 Jeanne Etelain 6 A01 21 0000-0003-1985-7779 Mary Louise Pratt 7 A01 Robert Stockhammer 01 ger 00 124 03 93 JBCT1 20 Kritische Ökologie 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Anthropozän 93 PSAF 10 SCI020000 20 Relationen 01 06 03 00 Die Erde befindet sich in einem vom Menschen bewirkten, tiefgreifenden Veränderungsprozess.

Nun bestimmen sie auch die potentielle Kreditwürdigkeit.Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Profil und Profilierung nehmen die Beiträge aus Medienwissenschaft, Soziologie, Geschichtswissenschaft und Informatik die vielschichtigen Dimensionen dieses zentralen Phänomens der digitalen Medienkultur in den Blick: Wie verändern sich Bedeutung und Bewertung des Profil-Begriffs?

Intertwined with colonialism, racism and sexism, concepts of property have found an echo in piracy and “postcolonial copyright.” At the level of theory, a crossing out and a reversal of time are required to undo property-related violence and its mindsets. At the level of artistic practice new modes of appropriation become imaginable. And while the commons will not be restored, multiple modes of having and commoning are possible. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Poperty_Frontcover-1.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2025 06 15 9783957960689 06 15 9783957960696 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/978-3-95796-069-6-Bergermann.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/property/ 99 04 urn:uuid:41cdd32b-c5e6-4eb9-beff-bd8e4a6cc69a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:41cdd32b-c5e6-4eb9-beff-bd8e4a6cc69a 15 9783957961549 06 10.14619/154-9 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Really Fake 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7616-7323 Alexandra Juhasz 2 A01 Ganaele Langlois 3 A01 Nishant Shah 01 eng 00 128 03 20 Feminism 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 12 AFKV 10 ART057000 93 ATN 20 Care 04 HQ1101-2030.7 20 Intimacy 93 JBSF11 12 JFFK 10 SOC010000 20 Digital Politics 20 Collectivity 20 Fakeness 20 Queer Theory 01 06 03 00 With anchors in feminist theory, queer discourse, and digital politics, Really Fake rescues “fakeness” from the morass of “fake news” and rejuvenates “fake” as a material and tactical reality. This book treats fakeness as a media object itself: “Fakes” are things that travel and circulate through our bodies, sociality, and the technologies that envelop them. Punctuated with anecdotes, experiences, poetry, stories, and a strong feminist ethic and ethos of care, intimacy, and collectivity, Really Fake offers a series of entry points into reframing the debates of fakeness beyond polarized positions of performative outrage. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/9783957961549_Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Simon Fraser University 01 programname Canada 150 Research Chairs Program Lüneburg 04 19 2021 06 15 9783957961549 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/978-3-95796-154-9-Really-Fake.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/reallyfake 99 04 urn:uuid:f24a1091-900b-402b-bab8-d3fbace95e52 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f24a1091-900b-402b-bab8-d3fbace95e52 15 9783957962096 06 10.14619/2089 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Future Ecologies 01 01 Records of Disaster Media Infrastructures and Climate Change 1 B01 Jakob Claus 2 B01 Petra Löffler 3 A01 Marie Sophie Beckmann 4 A01 Charlotte Bolwin 5 A01 Katrin Köppert 6 A01 Armin Linke Linke 7 A01 Gabriele Schabacher 8 A01 Susan Schuppli 9 A01 Solveig Qu Suess 01 eng 00 164 03 20 Geopolitics 93 JBCT1 12 JFD 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 20 Media Studies 20 Infrastructures 20 Climate Change 01 06 03 00 Records of Disasters: Media Infrastructures and Climate Change explores how environmental disasters manifest and inscribe themselves in infrastructures. By turning to infrastructures, their logic and functioning, collapse and malfunction, the volume reveals their potential as fragile material witnesses to and of disasters. As climate change is unequally distributed across continuous dynamics and events, time scales and spatial registers, infrastructures can be understood as proxies or seismographs mediating different spatio-temporal layers that make these dynamics tangible. Disaster is made operational by negotiating what is defined as such, and under which geopolitical conditions. What connects melting glaciers and the knowledge from ice cores to the mapping of the ocean floor and the extraction of resources in the deep-sea? How can infrastructures be thought in time and “critical proximity”, and how do they bear witness to colonial pasts and presents? The volume proposes an analytical perspective on infrastructures as multi-layered witnesses to climate change, bringing together scientific and artistic approaches, students and scholars from different disciplines. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/978-3-95796-209-6-Records-of-Disaster_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur 01 programname Niedersächsisches Vorab Lüneburg 04 19 2022 06 15 9783957962089 06 15 9783957962096 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/records-of-disaster/ 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/978-3-95796-209-6-Records-of-Disaster.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:64454359-e061-47e9-8d42-eb2af1456d93 03 01 01 urn:uuid:64454359-e061-47e9-8d42-eb2af1456d93 15 9783957961495 06 10.14619/1495 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 In Search of Media 01 01 Remain 1 A01 Ioana B.

It describes the permeation of economic, political, and social contexts by game-elements such as awards, rule structures, and interfaces that are inspired by video games. Sometimes the term is reduced to the implementation of points, badges, and leaderboards as incentives and motivations to be productive. Sometimes it is envisioned as a universal remedy to deeply transform society toward more humane and playful ends. Despite its use by corporations to manage brand communities and personnel, however, gamification is more than just a marketing buzzword. States are beginning to use it as a new tool for governing populations more effectively. It promises to fix what is wrong with reality by making every single one of us fitter, happier, and healthier. Indeed, it seems like all of society is up for being transformed into one massive game.The contributions in this book offer a candid assessment of the gamification hype. They trace back the historical roots of the phenomenon and explore novel design practices and methods. They critically discuss its social implications and even present artistic tactics for resistance.

This collection of new essays investigates the legacy of Daney’s work alongside considerations of feminist, queer and digital cinephilia and contemporary practices of film curation. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Serge_Daney_and_Queer_Cinephilia_Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2024 06 15 9783957960184 06 15 9783957960191 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/978-3-95796-019-1-Serge-Daney-and-Queer-Cinephilia.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/serge-daney-and-queer-cinephilia/ 99 04 urn:uuid:4ceae956-a5a3-43a5-96a7-ae87f0cb1b21 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4ceae956-a5a3-43a5-96a7-ae87f0cb1b21 15 9783957960863 06 10.14619/018 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Symptoms of the Planetary Condition A Critical Vocabulary 1 B01 21 0000-0003-2876-0522 Mercedes Bunz 2 B01 Birgit Mara Kaiser 3 B01 Kathrin Thiele 4 A01 Kiene Brillenburg Wurth 5 A01 Rosemarie Buikema 6 A01 21 0000-0002-4654-4666 Kári Driscoll 7 A01 21 0000-0002-5174-3256 Yvonne Förster 8 A01 Annemie Halsema 9 A01 Leonard Lawlor 10 A01 21 0000-0001-8017-784X Jacques Lezra 11 A01 Sam McAuliffe 12 A01 Timothy O’Leary 13 A01 Bettina Papenburg 14 A01 21 0000-0002-6432-2493 Esther Peeren 15 A01 Asja Szafraniec 16 A01 Melanie Sehgal 18 A01 Sybrandt van Keulen 19 A01 Veronica Vasterling 20 A01 21 0000-0003-4667-0133 Jennifer A.

Ausgehend von multiplen, verschränkten Krisen suchen die Beiträge dieses Bandes konkrete Szenen auf, in denen das kritische Potenzial von Verbindungen und Verstrickungen anschaulich wird. Das Ausloten von Relationalität wird dabei zu einem analytischen Modus, der für die Produktivität von Verbindungen sensibilisiert und zugleich ihre differenziellen Dimensionen anerkennt. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/978-3-95796-223-2_Szenen_kritischer_Relationalitaet-Cover.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK2558/1: Medienanthropologie 01 grantnumber 413067638 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Open-Access-Publikationskosten 16 Bauhaus University, Weimar 01 programname Publikationsfonds Lüneburg 04 19 2024 06 15 9783957962225 06 15 9783957962232 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/978-3-95796-223-2_Szenen_kritischer_Relationalitaet.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:e1cab02b-71f2-4e7f-9721-a6559ecc4db8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e1cab02b-71f2-4e7f-9721-a6559ecc4db8 15 9783957960245 06 10.14619/0238 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 Configurations of Film 01 01 Tacit Cinematic Knowledge Approaches and Practices 1 B01 Rebecca Boguska 2 B01 Guilherme da Silva Machado 3 B01 21 0000-0001-5597-5452 Rebecca Puchta 4 B01 Marin Reljić Reljić 5 A01 Larissa Fischer 6 A01 Veena Hariharan 7 A01 21 0000-0002-3455-2423 Vinzenz Hediger 8 A01 21 0000-0002-7276-6529 Andrea Mariani 9 A01 Bettina Paul 10 A01 21 0000-0003-1170-4401 Jelena Rakin 11 A01 Haritha R. 12 A01 21 0000-0002-6210-7247 Claire Salles 13 A01 Henning Schmidgen 14 A01 21 0000-0002-0371-4653 Felix M.

In these places and institutions film and moving image technologies serve to advance knowledge, to show how things are done, to train, teach, educate, mobilize people, as well as to imagine complex social facts and visualize dynamic models and schemes through data visualizations, pattern recognition software, and in social graphs. But what these moving images do goes beyond instruction, illustration and visual education. This publication introduces the concept of tacit cinematic knowledge to designate a broad variety of epistemic environments in which knowledge is configured in and through cinematic practices, and in the interaction with moving images. The concept thus describes a challenge not only for film and media scholars, but also for social scientists, economists, data analysts and artists.Covering areas of study beyond the cinema and non-theatrical films which have recently become a focus of inquiry, the contributions analyze the operations of tacit cinematic knowledge in objects ranging from political campaigns, medical and scientific devices, corporate communications, devices for the study of animal behavior and more. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Tacit_Cinematic_Knowledge_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 01 programname Graduiertenkolleg 01 projectname GRK 2279: Konfigurationen des Films 01 grantnumber 310565625 Lüneburg 04 19 2024 06 15 9783957960238 06 15 9783957960245 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/tacit-cinematic-knowledge 99 04 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/978-3-95796-024-5%E2%80%93Tacit-Cinematic-Knowledge.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a651589a-e4ed-42cb-bbe8-ab753a2dc318 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a651589a-e4ed-42cb-bbe8-ab753a2dc318 15 9783957961846 06 10.14619/1839 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Tactical Entanglements AI Art, Creative Agency, and the Limits of Intellectual Property 1 A01 Martin Zeilinger 01 eng 00 186 03 12 AFKV 93 AFKV 10 ART046000 04 NX1-820 20 Posthumanism 93 ATN 20 Intellectual Property 12 JFD 10 SOC052000 93 JBCT1 20 Law 20 Artificial Intelligence 20 Art 20 Authorship 20 Aesthetics 20 Creative Agency 20 Capital 20 Ownership 01 06 03 00 How do artistic experiments with artificial intelligence problematize human-centered notions of creative agency, authorship, and ownership?

As hero of the cyberpunk epic, in its brief but intense history, the cyborg has followed and anticipated the rapport and conflict between man and machine.In the post-fordist era of digital networked media the cyborg unfolds itself in the dissemination of multiple bodies: on the Internet, in the shift of individual identity, in the new collective aggregation connected by software. It bridges virtuality and concreteness, possibility and necessity. The cyborg thus becomes a field of social conflict, one of the new figures in which the bio-political perspective is embodied. 01 00 03 02 http://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Caronia-Cyborg-U1-140x200.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 European Union 01 programname European Regional Development Fund 01 projectname Innovation Incubator Lüneburg Lüneburg 04 19 2015 06 15 9783957960108 06 15 9783957960115 06 15 9783957960122 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/9783957960115-Caronia-Cyborg.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/the-cyborg 99 04 urn:uuid:3b769a54-5e54-45fc-afb2-c2dc335e5329 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3b769a54-5e54-45fc-afb2-c2dc335e5329 15 9783957962607 06 10.14619/2591 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 The Making of Les Immatériaux 1 A01 21 0000-0001-6322-9062 Andreas Broeckmann 01 eng 00 352 03 20 art history 93 JBCT1 04 P87-96 10 SOC052000 93 AGA 10 ART046000 20 exhibition history 04 NX440-632 93 AFKV 20 curating 20 new media 20 immateriality 01 06 03 00 The exhibition Les Immatériaux was presented at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 1985. Curated by the philosopher Jean-François Lyotard and design theoretician Thierry Chaput, it is widely regarded as a landmark in the history of postmodern philosophy, as well as for discourses around art, science and digital culture.Broeckmann’s book provides the first comprehensive account of the preparation of this epochal event. It shows how the exhibition resulted from multiple, collaborative and interdisciplinary trajectories in such diverse fields as contemporary art, architecture, science, and network media. Based on extensive archival research, The Making of Les Immatériaux offers detailed insights into the curatorial process. Throughout its ten chapters, the book highlights the different forms of cooperation among the people involved in the conception of the exhibition, including Lyotard, Chaput, the team at the Centre de Création Industrielle, and their consultations with artists, theorists, and scientists.Les Immatériaux marks a pivotal point in the history of exhibitions in the 20th century because it gave important impulses for the organisation, design and structure of interdisciplinary exhibitions. Broeckmann discusses the place of Les Immatériaux in the broader context of this history, examining the epistemology of exhibits, curatorial agency, and interdisciplinarity in research networks. The book takes up current questions about the relationship between materiality and immateriality, between subjectivity and thinghood, and shows how Les Immatériaux continues to offer a significant contribution to debates that over the last decades have become ever more urgent. 01 00 03 02 https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/9783957962591_FC.jpg meson press 01 meson press 16 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft Lüneburg 04 19 2025 06 15 9783957962591 06 15 9783957962607 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/9783957962607_The_Making_of_Les_Immateriaux_OA.pdf 99 04 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/the-making-of-les-immateriaux 99 04
