Workshop
TextTechniken
13.–14.1.2016 | Erfurt
Starting from the origins of the term ”technology“ (Greek
τέχνη (technē): ”art“ und λόγος (lógos): ”word, a plea“) the
workshop reflects aesthetic representations of the historically
changing intersections of text and techniques/technologies.
Together with Dr. James Purdon (Cambridge/St. Andrews)
from the Cambridge research group “Literature – Technology – Media“, who also provides short responses to each paper,
we want to address the following questions: How do texts and
material technologies influence one another? What kind of
terminological changes have taken place and what technologies have instigated this? How is materialism represented and
how does TextTechnology influence material? How does the
represented materialism (TextTechnology) interact with the
material of the industrial technologies, but also in relation to
our environmental materiality? Can we differentiate between
'natural' materiality and culturally represented materiality?
Convenors:
Prof. Dr. Kai Merten and Dr. Dunja Mohr,
English Department
