Media Assemblages

Sweet blog I just found.

Media Assemblages
"A media theory and history blog diagramming how media form assemblages of people, populations, technologies, meanings, and sensations. The evolution of these assemblages, their non-linear dynamics, their affects, and self-organizing capacities are what is explored in these postings."

--->
A tour de force of various post-structuralist thinkers as they relate to media ecologies. An amazing mix of cut-up, hyper-text, youtube, diagrams, pictorials, and the like. Definitely worth taking a look at.

Take a peak at "The Production of Habit: On Two Conceptions of Difference in Foucault’s Discipline and Punish"

or "On the Work of Art Today: Benjamin and the Machinic Phylum".

About

This blog serves as a transparent point of discourse for You Are Here--a Columbus collective that grew out of the Comparative Studies Undergraduate Group at the Ohio State University. It consists of people from all academic and social backgrounds with an emphasis on social theory. Most succinctly put, it is creative scholarship in affect--whether it be from academia, popular culture, art, language, or personal observation. The ideas expressed in this blog are by no means reached by consensus and do not necessarily reflect those of other members. The comments doubly so. Feel free to critique, question, or agree with any views expressed. You don't have to reside in or be familiar with the city of Columbus. As far as we're concerned, you are here.
