Résumé:
If humanistic research consists of the generation of consensus positions, simple expression, summarized texts, or passable translations, then we have arrived at the place where AI is able to accomplish these different missions to a convincing degree. However, Laurent Dubreuil argues, such tasks do not, in any way, constitute the humanities. On the contrary, he posits, a(...)

Résumé:
If humanistic research consists of the generation of consensus positions, simple expression, summarized texts, or passable translations, then we have arrived at the place where AI is able to accomplish these different missions to a convincing degree. However, Laurent Dubreuil argues, such tasks do not, in any way, constitute the humanities. On the contrary, he posits, a maximalist take on scholarship would not focus on generation but on creation, as a subject and as an object. Dubreuil seizes the opportunity of what AI reveals about the meaning of humanistic inquiry to offer a path for the renewal of the humanities on transhistorical, transcultural, and transdisciplinary grounds.

Résumé:
"Archiving machines" advances our understanding of memory, information, and data by charting the struggle between the computing technologies that archive data and the cultures of information that have led to platforms that assert control over its use. Amelia Acker examines the origins of data archives and the computing processes of storage, exchange, and transmission. Each chapter introduces data archiving processes that relate to the evolution of data sovereignty we experience today: from magnetic tape and timesharing computer models from the 1950s, to the establishment of data banks and the rise of database processing and managed data silos in the 1970s, to file structures and virtual containers in cloud-based information services over the past 40 years.

Résumé:
As cultural heritage institutions across the nation grapple with the realization that their collecting histories have captured an incomplete picture of history, curators and archivists like Dorothy Berry have been drawn into complicated conversations. "The house archives built and other thoughts on Black archival possibilities" brings together years of those conversations from their origins in conference halls, webinars, and reading rooms to open them up to the public. The labor and theory that upholds archives has been obscured, but our understandings of history and ourselves rest on those invisible foundations. This book clarifies those foundations while offering new possibilities for imagining archival futures in and outside of institutional holdings.

Résumé:
Today our world is under the watchful and tireless eye of computer vision, with cameras and monitors tracing our every move. Furthermore, generative AI is now able to render a synthetic world indistinguishable from reality for us to explore. Trevor Paglen goes in search of the ways and means of understanding this new visual universe. Instead of asking what these technologies “say” about the world, he teaches us to ask what they “do” and where such images come from. Exploring the esoteric worlds of psyops, UFO imagery, magicians, and public relation gurus, Paglen shows that this apparently alien realm is more human, but much stranger, than we imagine.

Résumé:
À l’heure où nos traces numériques s’accumulent, une nouvelle forme de mémoire émerge. Les technomémoires désignent ces formes hybrides que nous construisons à travers les plateformes numériques et les objets connectés. Des albums photos enrichis par l’intelligence artificielle aux assistants qui mémorisent nos habitudes, des médias socionumériques qui stockent nos interactions aux objets connectés qui documentent nos comportements quotidiens, un nouvel écosystème mémoriel se dessine. Ce livre en explore les contours à travers trois axes?: la mémoire collective ancrée dans les territoires et les objets?; les pratiques personnelles façonnées par nos interactions numériques?; et les perspectives ouvertes par l’intelligence artificielle dans la gestion – et la fabrication – de nos souvenirs. Il s’adresse aux spécialistes de la mémoire et des médias, aux personnes étudiantes en sciences humaines et sociales, ainsi qu’au grand public curieux de comprendre ce que signifie se souvenir au XXIe siècle, à l’ère des machines qui «?se remémorent?»… supposément mieux que nous.

Résumé:
What has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? It takes different forms at different scales—from energy and mineral sourcing and subterranean cloud infrastructure to urban software and massive universal addressing systems; from interfaces drawn by the augmentation of the hand and eye to users identified by self-quantification and the arrival of legions of sensors, algorithms, and robots. Together, how do these distort and deform modern political geographies and produce new territories in their own image? In an account that is both theoretical and technical, drawing on political philosophy, design theory, and computer science, Bratton explores six layers of ''The Stack'': Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface, User.

Résumé:
Gérard Berréby s'entretient avec Aurélie Noury sur ce qui constitue sa première expérience éditoriale, au tout début des années 1980. En décidant de réaliser sur sa seule initiative une édition pirate du livre d'Aragon – alors opposé à tout retirage –, Gérard Berréby soulève plusieurs questions liées à l'appropriation et à l'autoédition : la copie et le faux, la circulation des textes, le détournement, le droit d'auteur, l'édition comme geste politique, la prescription, etc. L'épisode, inédit dans l'histoire de l'édition généraliste, aura provoqué de nombreuses réactions dans le monde littéraire, jusqu'aux poursuites judiciaires engagées par Gallimard. À partir des témoignages et documents d'époque, analysés par Berréby et mis en perspective par Nathalie Leleu plus de 40 ans après, l'ouvrage retrace les circonstances d'un geste fondateur pour le futur directeur des éditions Allia.

Résumé:
Philip K. Dick, one of the most prolific and visionary authors of the 20th century, crafted compelling visions of possible futures and dystopian realities teeming with humans, artificial intelligences, and more. Yet, the Dickian universe is more than just its characters—it’s a realm intricately built with technological devices, machines, and objects entirely conceived by this brilliant mind. How did Philip K. Dick envision these technologies, and through them, the future? And now, decades after his time, how should we perceive and interpret these tools? More intriguingly, how can we decode and reconstruct the creative process that led to the creation and "materialization" of these devices? Grounded in a multidisciplinary framework, this volume explores alternative designs and projects for some of the non-existing technologies described in Philip K. Dick’s oeuvre.

Résumé:
In "The politics of collecting," Eunsong Kim traces how racial capitalism and colonialism situated the rise of US museum collections and conceptual art forms. Investigating historical legal and property claims, she argues that regimes of expropriation--rather than merit or good taste--are responsible for popular ideas of formal innovation and artistic genius. In doing so, she details how Marcel Duchamp's canonization has more to do with his patron's donations to museums than it does the quality of Duchamp's work, and she uncovers the racialized and financialized logic behind the Archive of New Poetry's collecting practices. Ranging from the conception of philanthropy devised by the robber barons of the late nineteenth century to ongoing digitization projects, Kim provides a new history of contemporary art that accounts for the complicated entanglement of race, capital, and labor behind storied art institutions and artists. Drawing on history, theory, and economics, Kim challenges received notions of artistic success and talent and calls for a new vision of art beyond the cultural institution.
