On December 17th, a Special Issue of Culture, Theory and Critique was published entitled Culture & Technics: The Politics of Simondon’s Du Mode. This Special Issue followed the conference in September 2018 at the University of Kent which bore the same name.
The Special Issue follows the long-awaited translation of Simondon’s supplementary thesis, On the Mode of Existence of Technical Objects, and seeks to mobilise around questions concerning the relationship between culture, technics, and politics, in a time of increasingly pervasive digitalisation. There are a number of really wonderful contributions here from authors working on a spectrum of problems and questions emerging through their engagement with Simondon’s work.
The full Issue can be found on the journal website by clicking here.
My introduction to the Special Issue is open access, and can be read or downloaded here, here, or here. If anyone has any issue with accessing articles, please get in touch.
