Beschreibung

Aesthetics, Digital Studies and Bernard Stiegler frames the intertwined relationship between artistic endeavours and scientific fields and their sociopolitical implications. Each chapter is either an explication of, or a critique of, some aspect of Bernard Stiegler's technological philosophy; as it is his technological-political-aesthetical-ethical theorisations which form the philosophical foundation of the volume.

Emerging scholars bring critical new reflections to the subject area, while more established academics, researchers and practitioners outline the mutating nature of aesthetics within historical and theoretical frameworks. Not only is interdisciplinarity a prevailing topic at work within this collection, but so too is there a delineation of the mutating, hybrid role inhabited by the arts practitioner - at once engineer, scientist and artist - in the changing landscape of digital cultural production.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

I warmly recommend this volume. Stiegler's perspective is one of the deepest critique of digital capitalism and, at the same time, one of the strongest proposal for a new kind of technological development, especially in the social and academic fields. The book is not only able to fully represent such a perspective, but it is also a way to improve both Stiegler's perspective and the ongoing research in digital arts. * Paolo Vignola, Professor of Philosophy of Literature and Literary Theory, Universidad de las Artes, Ecuador * Aesthetics, Digital Studies and Bernard Stiegler offers an interesting focus on Stieglerian philosophy, passing through epistemology, politics and the arts. This strong theoretical approach keeps together voices from different authors and perspectives, all of which cover an important lack in the several publications concerning Stiegler's philosophy, that is, aesthetics and the arts. Being this one of the main concerns of the French philosopher, the book offers an important introduction to this field. * Sara Baranzoni, co-founder of La Deleuziana *
