No Software and Other Essays on Philosophy of Technology

Friedrich Kittler is for many the founder of media studies and one of the most influential thinkers in the philosophy of technology and literary criticism. Schools of thought such as Media Archeology and Digital Humanities have expressed a debt to the thought of this author, who has gone unnoticed in Spanish-speaking academic circles. This volume offers what is probably the first translation of Kittler into Spanish, filling a significant gap in our humanities and media sciences. The reader will find in this book a selection of texts that show the intellectual development of a thinker, as well as the diversity of topics and ways of approaching the technological issues of the present in their historical dimension, revealing routes and horizons for research that surprise us by its validity and currency.
