Loosening the meshwork, analyzing medialities and materialities
Catherine Adams, Terrie Lynn Thompson
pp. 57-86
We detail our second set of four heuristics for posthuman inquiry: discerning the spectrum of human-technology-world relations, applying the Laws of Media, unraveling translations and tracing responses and passages. The focus is on lifting the entangled digital thing of interest into relief, and then reflectively analyzing its medial relations and material contributions. Each of the heuristics engages a different theoretical framework, but each is aligned with posthumanism. Practical applications and examples follow.
