Reviews

Media After Kittler is a volume Kittler himself could have compiled: an intriguing mix of in-depth discussions and departures that probe the ways in which media can be conceived after, according to and sometimes against Kittler. It uses Kittler the way Kittler used the work of Lacan, Foucault and many others: as a toolbox for ingenious tinkering and innovative coupling. -- Geoffrey Winthrop-Young, Department of Central, Eastern and Northern European Studies, University of British Columbia
