Reading Group
We are currently toying with the idea of a reading group that will better inform our understanding of contemporary life in the age of ’networked culture’ (an never ending preoccupation and debate in the office).
Proposed texts could therefore be about the economy, present or future models of cultural production, the state of the arts, life and experience in the age of social media.
As an opening gambit, I’m proposing we read ‘A Grammar Of The Multitude’ by Paolo Virno. Translated from Italian to English and published by Semiotext(e) in 2004.
Despite the technological innovations of the last 7 years, the text remains precient, posing problematics that remain central to the promise of the utopia the network age promised, but has so far failed to deliver.
Let us know if you up for this, or if you wish to propose any other text- either via the twitter account or on here, then we can arrange a time.
Cheers.
