Mark Poster, David Savat (eds.): Deleuze and New Technology (2009)

In a world where our lives are increasingly mediated by technologies it is surprising that more attention is not paid to the work of Gilles Deleuze. This is especially strange given Deleuze’s often explicit focus and reliance on the machine and the technological. This volume offers readers a collective and determined effort to explore not only the usefulness of key ideas of Deleuze in thinking about our new digital and biotechnological future but, also aims to take seriously a style of thinking that negotiates between philosophy, science and art. This exciting collection of essays will be of relevance not only to scholars and students interested in the work of Deleuze but, also, to those interested in coming to terms with what might seem an increasing dominance of technology in day to day living.

Contributors to this volume include: William Bogard, Abigail Bray, Ian Buchanan, Verena Conley, Ian Cook, Tauel Harper, Timothy Murray, Saul Newman, Luciana Parisi, Patricia Pisters, Mark Poster, Horst Ruthrof, David Savat, Bent Meier Sørensen and Eugene Thacker.

Mediamatic Magazine (1985-2000) & Mediamatic Off-Line (2000-2007)

Mediamatic was established in 1985 as a meeting place for television- and videoartists and theorists. A year later Mediamatic Magazine was born: an internationally published quarterly about art and new media. It quickly acquired a legendary status among new media lovers around the world. From 1993 on Mediamatic was present on the internet and every Mediamatic Magazine was supplemented with a cd-rom.

In 2000 Mediamatic continued its publications under the title Mediamatic Off-Line. Mediamatic Off-Line was an irregularly appearing series, always connected to an autonomous artistic project that was presented on the accompanying cd-rom or dvd. Mediamatic published some now (in)famous cd-roms created by Gerald van der Kaap, JoDi, Doors of Perception and Florian Thalhofer. The last edition of Mediamatic Offline appeared in 2007.

Dale F. Eickelman, Jon W. Anderson (eds.): New Media in the Muslim World. The Emerging Public Sphere, 2nd ed. (2003)

This second edition of a widely acclaimed collection of essays reports on how new media—fax machines, satellite television, and the Internet—and the new uses of older media—cassettes, pulp fiction, the cinema, the telephone, and the press—shape belief, authority, and community in the Muslim world. The chapters in this work, including new chapters dealing specifically with events after September 11, 2001, concern Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula, and Muslim communities in the United States and elsewhere. The extent to which today’s new media have transcended local and state frontiers and have reshaped understandings of gender, authority, social justice, identities, and politics in Muslim societies emerges from this timely and provocative book.
