Medialities by Ute Fendler

Cultural, social and economic production is always medially constituted, since it is formed through processing, storage and transmission of certain data or materials. This is why the concept of mediality can be used to stress the performative character of all culture, whose multiplicity of techniques conversely interacts with the mediality in question. The contributors focus on a given cultural medium's genuine structure as a particular deployment without falling into some kind of hardware determinism, therefore considering culture beyond textuality.

Ivo Ritzer is a professor of media studies at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. He has given invited talks all over the world and has published a large number of essays, monographs, and edited volumes with topics such as media aesthetics, media philosophy, and media archaeology. His most recent publications include Key Works in Media Studies (2020), Politics of the Popular: Media - Culture - Theory (2019), Media Theory of Globalization (2018), and Media Dispositives (2018).
