Transformations announces the publication of Issue 17

Bernard Stiegler and the Question of Technics

Bernard Stiegler's concept of technics has emerged recently as an important
contribution to studies of the relation between technology, time and the
human. Technics, or the prosthetic supplementation of the human in "default"
of the origin, is the condition of "life that knows." In Technics and Time
1: The Fault of Epimetheus, drawing from and critiquing various sources,
including the work on evolutionary biology by Gilbert Simondon, on
palaoanthropology by Andre Leroi-Gourhan, on Martin Heidegger's existential
analysis of Dasein and Jacques Derrida's différance as the logic of the
supplement, Stiegler has proposed arguments about technology and its
relation to the human that suggest a formulation of human life as
"epiphylogenetic," that is, evolving according to the logic of prosthetic
supplementation. In later works, such as the subsequent volumes of Technics
and Time, and works such as Taking Care, he explores the role of
hyper-capitalism and cinematographic technologies in contemporary
consciousness and becoming. This issue of Transformations features articles
that address these themes and others in the work of Bernard Stiegler.
