New Models presents Kevin Munger on Vilem Flusser's Communicology
Political scientist Kevin Munger unpacks Vilém Flusser's 1978 work "Communicology: Mutations in Human Relations?" (Stanford U. Press, 2022)
Initially rejected by MIT Press for being too radical, Flusser’s "Communicology" thesis was finally published by Stanford University Press last year and maps out a massive, existential, transition in the way we communicate—one that was legible to Flusser in the 1970s but which has only accelerated with the proliferation of networked media in the time since.
This lecture was first presented 28 July 2023 at Trauma Bar und Kino, Berlin
