Greg Bird and Giovanbattista Tusa’s selection and placement of critical texts invite readers to explore common themes and genealogies, different interpretations and readings, and their diverse deployments across multiple disciplines and genres by such figures as Karl Marx, Franz Kafka, Judith Butler, Martin Heidegger, Gilbert Simondon, Michel Foucault, Edward Said, Jasbir Puar, Donna Haraway, Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, Tiqqun, Claire Fontaine, and many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDispositif: A Cartography \u003c\/i\u003eis a true toolbox for the development of technological ecology thinking that accounts for situated knowledge. This collection provides coordinates for reorienting oneself in a permanently changing world, offering possible roadmaps for navigating these profoundly uncertain times. More than just a compilation of interventions on the dispositif, this volume acts as a guide for understanding the complex interaction between technology, philosophy, and the languages of the arts and media.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ix\u003cbr\u003e  PROBLEMATIZING DISPOSITIFS 1\u003cbr\u003e Greg Bird\u003cbr\u003e I ARCHITECTRONICS\/MECHANISMS\u003cbr\u003e 1 FRAGMENT ON MACHINES 23\u003cbr\u003e Karl Marx\u003cbr\u003e 2 IN THE PENAL COLONY 35\u003cbr\u003e Franz Kafka\u003cbr\u003e 3 MACHINE AND ORGANISM 59\u003cbr\u003e Georges Canguilhem\u003cbr\u003e 4 GENESIS OF THE TECHNICAL OBJECT: THE PROCESS OF CONCRETIZATION 89\u003cbr\u003e Gilbert Simondon\u003cbr\u003e 5 MACHINE FRAGMENTS 103\u003cbr\u003e Gerald Raunig\u003cbr\u003e 6 IS A MUSEUM A FACTORY? 113\u003cbr\u003e Hito Steyerl\u003cbr\u003e 7 OF STRUCTION 123\u003cbr\u003e Jean-Luc Nancy\u003cbr\u003e 8 WE, MACHINIC SUBJECTS 133\u003cbr\u003e Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri\u003cbr\u003e 9 COGNITIVE ASSEMBLAGES: TECHNICAL AGENCY\u003cbr\u003e AND HUMAN INTERACTIONS 147\u003cbr\u003e N.
