CRITIQUE OF MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stephen Petrina
\nUniversity of British Columbia<\/p>\n

This workshop focuses on the\u00a0Critique of Media & Technology<\/a>. The first part of the workshop includes a presentation and discussion on a forthcoming chapter. The second part of the workshop focuses on the process of researching and writing with special attention to philosophical and historical research 2.0 and narrative. How can we or ought we write a (big) history of the critique of media and technology?<\/p>\n

The\u00a0chapter<\/a>\u00a0begins with the spiritual critique of media and technology and proceeds historically through cultural criticism and social, psychic, ontic, and identic critiques. Differentiated from the spiritual critique that precedes, cultural criticism of media and technology emerges in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as a mode of describing and depicting the mechanical arts. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, spiritual critique is displaced through a rejection of religion and theology as sources of modern authority. With spiritual ground undermined, social, psychic, ontic, and identic critics of media and technology compete for defensible ground for leverage. The history of critique is a search for ground. This chapter historicizes the critique of media and technology as well as critique as a practice that has run out of steam. \u201cCritical distance\u201d from or \u201cfree relation\u201d to media and technology\u2014 a seductive orientation since the 1940s\u2014 has been instrumental in critique\u2019s gradual decline. The critique of critique has quickened the decline. The conclusion questions the short-term future of machinic critique and long-term renewal of spiritual critique.<\/p>\n
