Theory of the Digital (MCC-UE 1339)

The term “digital” has gained strong conceptual purchase and political urgency in recent decades. This course introduces students to the different ways scholars have theorized digitality and associated phenomena such as computing, code, information, cybernetics, networks, and the virtual. Drawing on classic and contemporary texts in philosophy, history of science, political economy, and critical digital studies, we explore how digital modes of rationality at once enliven and constrain human experience, creativity, social life, and political structures.
