This book is about media, mediation, and meaning. The Art of Interpretation focuses on a set of interrelated processes whereby ostensibly human-specific modes of meaning become automated by machines, formatted by protocols, and networked by infrastructures. That is, as computation replaces interpretation, information effaces meaning, and infrastructure displaces interaction. Or so it seems.
Paul Kockelman asks: What does it take to automate, format, and network meaningful practices? What difference does this make for those who engage in such practices? And what is at stake? Reciprocally: How can we better understand computational processes from the standpoint of meaningful practices? How can we leverage such processes to better understand such practices? And what lies in wait? In answering these questions, Kockelman stays very close to fundamental concerns of computer science that emerged in the first half of the twentieth-century. Rather than foreground the latest application, technology or interface, he accounts for processes that underlie each and every digital technology deployed today.
In a novel method, The Art of Interpretation leverages key ideas of American pragmatism-a philosophical stance that understands the world, and our relation to it, in a way that avoids many of the conundrums and criticisms of conventional twentieth-century social theory. It puts this stance in dialogue with certain currents, and key texts, in anthropology and linguistics, science and technology studies, critical theory, computer science, and media studies.
其实是一本很好的入门书,Kockelman没有一句cliche,能将信息理论,媒体理论,经济理论和一部分哲学很好的融汇贯通,告诉你Mcluhan和Marx说的是同一件事。美中不足是他只是清晰地解释了这些理论,却没有再往前走一步,没有做到六经注我,是可惜的。他说语言等同于基础设施的时候,还是十分惊为天人的。最后一章关于弱者的武器,如何扰乱网络和电脑的过滤选择功能。最后还是落在了民族志方法论上。最后,他应该是喜欢谈论科学技术哲学的人文学者里最懂科学技术的吧?毕竟是理科出身。(而且上课动不动甩甘道夫,龙与地下城当例证
