Ausgehend von der kulturellen Blütezeit Athens bietet Kittler in einem musikalisch-mathematischen und philosophisch-mythologischen Kaleidoskop einen lebendigen Einblick in das Geistesleben des antiken Griechenlands. - Auf "Aphrodite" und die Welt des Homeros folgen nun "Eros" und die Polis der Athener. Das misogyne Athen des Euripides, Sokrates und Platon verdrängt Aphrodite (nach Sparta) und huldigt dem Eros, Mathesis trennt sich von Musik und wird zum Flottenbau, aus Nomos, dem archaischen Musikgesetz, wird Numismatik. Timetheos tritt in "Konzerten", wörtlich also Musikwettkampfspielen, nicht mehr für frische Blumenkränze auf; er singt und spielt für harte Silbermünzen. Wir Sterblichen aber sind blind geworden, als eine Sonne namens Eidos - Sinn, Begriff oder Bedeutung - die Netzhäute verstrahlte von Athen bis Nagasaki. "Musik und Mathematik", dieser Erinnerung an das homerische Ereignis des griechischen Vokalalphabets, bleibt es auferlegt, Erleuchtungen, die die Göttinnen und Götter sind, vor Platons Höhlengleichnis zu erretten. 414 Seiten mit 13 Textabb. sowie 16 Farbtafeln, gebunden (Wilhelm Fink Verlag 2009) leichte Lagerspuren. Statt EUR 66,00. Gewicht: 873 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe - Sprache: Deutsch

Friedrich Kittler (1943–2011) combined the study of literature, cinema, technology, and philosophy in a manner sufficiently novel to be recognized as a new field of academic endeavor in his native Germany. "Media studies," as Kittler conceived it, meant reflecting on how books operate as films, poetry as computer science, and music as military equipment. This volume collects writings from all stages of the author's prolific career. Exemplary essays illustrate how matters of form and inscription make heterogeneous source material (e.g., literary classics and computer design) interchangeable on the level of function―with far-reaching consequences for our understanding of the humanities and the "hard sciences." Rich in counterintuitive propositions, sly humor, and vast erudition, Kittler's work both challenges the assumptions of positivistic cultural history and exposes the over-abstraction and language games of philosophers such as Heidegger and Derrida. The twenty-three pieces gathered here document the intellectual itinerary of one of the most original thinkers in recent times―sometimes baffling, often controversial, and always stimulating.

Neuware -Der VW Käfer wurde den Wohlstandsbürgern der Wirtschaftswunderzeit bald zu klein. Käufer wie Händler forderten einen »großen Volkswagen«. Sie bekamen den Typ 3, aus dem das legendäre Karmann-Ghia-Coupé entstand und den von 1968 bis 1974 gebauten Typ 4 (411). Eberhard Kittler und Joachim Kuch widmen sich den letzten luftgekühlten Wolfsburgern, die nie aus dem Schatten des Käfers heraustreten konnten. Ihre großartige Chronik präsentiert zahlreiche Fakten zur Entwicklungsgeschichte, beleuchtet technische Hintergründe, zitiert aus Vorstandsprotokollen und lässt Club-Spezialisten zu Wort kommen - inkl. unbekannter Fotos, zeitgenössischen Werbemittel sowie umfangreichem Technikteil. 216 pp. Deutsch

Laetrile, Nutritional Control for Cancer with Vitamin B-17 Revised Edition By Glenn D. Kittler (pb - 1978)

This major new book provides a concise history of optical media from Renaissance linear perspective to late twentieth-century computer graphics. Kittler begins by looking at European painting since the Renaissance in order to discern the principles according to which modern optical perception was organized. He also discusses the development of various mechanical devices, such as the camera obscura and the laterna magica, which were closely connected to the printing press and which played a pivotal role in the media war between the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation. After examining this history, Kittler then addresses the ways in which images were first stored and made to move, through the development of photography and film. He discusses the competitive relationship between photography and painting as well as between film and theater, as innovations like the Baroque proscenium or "picture-frame" stage evolved from elements that would later constitute cinema. The central question, however, is the impact of film on the ancient monopoly of writing, as it not only provoked new forms of competition for novelists but also fundamentally altered the status of books. In the final section, Kittler examines the development of electrical telecommunications and electronic image processing from television to computer simulations. In short, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the history of image production that is indispensable for anyone wishing to understand the prevailing audiovisual conditions of contemporary culture.
