Lecture: Expanded Hermeneutics: Media Studies for the 21st Century
Abstract: In this lecture I would also address my own theoretical heritage with the Berlin Institute of Language in the Technical Age, early German Philosophy of Technique from the 19th century (there will be a book published by University of Minnesota Press), but also my proposals for future media studies.
