Vilem Flusser Darryl V. Caterine Kenneth Kronenberg
Vilem Flusser was one of the most fascinating and original European thinkers of the late twentieth century. In this collection of his essays on emigration, nationalism, and information theory, he raises questions about the viability of ideas of national identity in a world whose borders are becoming increasingly arbitrary and permeable. Flusser argues that modern societies are in flux, with traditional linear and textual epistemologies being challenged by global circulatory networks and a growth in visual stimulation. Beyond globalization, Flusser's ideas about communication and identity are...

This book presents for the first time in English an array of essays on design by the seminal media critic and philosopher Vilem Flusser. It puts forward the view that our future depends on design. In a series of insightful essays on such ordinary "things" as wheels, carpets, pots, umbrellas and tents, Flusser emphasizes the interrelationships between art and science, theology and technology, and archaeology and architecture. Just as formal creativity has produced both weapons of destruction and great works of art, Flusser believed that the shape of things (and the designs behind them)...

Flusser prepared each lecture as a response to the dialogs that followed the preceding lecture, thereby expanding and explicating his philosophy of language in an intense dialogical process. Despite the fact that the other side of the...

In den Texten aus zwei Jahrzehnten setzt sich der »digitale Denker« Vilém Flusser mit Phänomenen des Vertriebenseins, der Migration und des Nationalismus auseinander, Erfahrungen, die stark in der Biographie des Kommunikationsphilosophen wurzeln und die er für ein nomadisches Denken medientheoretisch fruchtbar machte. »Die Migration ist eine kreative Situation«, doch will die mit ihr verbundene Freiheit auch ausgehalten sein, und das hieß für Flusser, sie in Verantwortung umzuformulieren. Dazu bedarf es einer neuen Denkart, zu der Flussers Texte und Schriften anstiften wollen. Seine...
