> > In the past decade(s) Friedrich Kittler’s Gramophone, Film,  
> > Typewriter (1986) has gained much notoriety (and criticism) in the  
> > field of media studies. But, as questions concerning media and  
> > mediality become almost unavoidable, Kittler’s particular brand of  
> > media-archaeology and broad, far-reaching arguments may also prove  
> > fruitful to other fields of research, for instance into music,  
> > literature and the visual arts. In this reading group we first want  
> > to return to capita selecta from Kittlers seminal workDiscourse  
> > Networks, 1800/1900 (1985). But, more importantly, in order to gain  
> > a better understanding of Kittler’s take on the materiality of  
> > media and the emergence of a primacy of data as well as the role of  
> > information and noise in what may be called ‘Discourse Network  
> > 2000,’ we want to read Leibniz’‘New Essays,’ as one of the first  
> > philosophers to deal with the mathematical foundations of reality.  
> > Depending on how the reading develops, further readings might  
> > include (parts of) McLuhan’sUnderstanding Media, or selected essays  
> > of Heidegger. Other literature suggestions and/or ideas for  
> > additional reading might emerge during the sessions and are of  
> > course welcome. We would very much like to invite everyone  
> > interested to join.
