Digital Hermeneutics: Philosophical Investigations in New Media and Technologies: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Digital Hermeneutics: Philosophical Investigations in New Media and Technologies" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This is the first monograph to develop a hermeneutic approach to the digitalas both a technological milieu and a cultural phenomenon. While philosophical in its orientation, the book covers a wide body of literature across science and technology studies, media studies, digital humanities, digital sociology, cognitive science, and the study of artificial intelligence. In the first part of the book, the author formulates an epistemological thesis according to which the virtual never ended. Although the frontiers between the real and the virtual are certainly more porous today, they still exist and endure. In the books second part, the author offers an ontological reflection on emerging digital technologies as imaginative machines. He introduces the concept of emagination, arguing that human schematizations are always externalized into technologies, and that human imagination has its analog in the digital dynamics of articulation between databases and algorithms. The author takes an ethical and political stance in the concluding chapter. He resorts to the notion of digital habitus for claiming that within the digital we are repeatedly being reconducted to an oversimplified image and understanding of ourselves. Digital Hermeneutics will be of interest to scholars across a wide range of disciplines, including those working on philosophy of technology, hermeneutics, science and technology studies, media studies, and the digital humanities.

Digital Hermeneutics

Digital Hermeneutics is a must-read for all interested in understanding the role of the human interpreter as well as the part played by technologies and the digital. The author presents new and refreshing ideas that will engage and provoke academics from both humanities and the social sciences.

I started thinking about this book in Italy. I wrote it largely in Portugal and I finished it in France. I decided to write it in English, which is my no mans land. On this long journey, I met many people who taught, helped, and supported me in different ways. I would like to especially thank Mario Lombardo, Jos De Mul, Marta Severo, Christian Berner, Ernst Wolff, Marcel Hnaff, Stefano Gualeni, Jean-Claude Gens, Bruno Bachimont, Johann Michel, Rossana de Angelis, Franck Cormerais, Paolo Furia, Camilla Emmenegger, Francesco Gallino, Claudio Paravati, Daniele Gorgone, Enrico Terrone, Dario Rodighiero, Franois-David Sebbah, Luca Possati, Wessel Reijers, Mark Coeckelbergh, and Maurizio Ferraris.

I would like to express my gratitude to my former postdoctoral supervisor Paulo Tunhas and my old colleagues at the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Porto: Jos Meirinhos, Eleonora Lombardo, Joo Rebalde, Jos Higuera, Celia Lpez, Paula Silva, Isabel Marques, Sofia Miguens, and Mattia Riccardi. My heartfelt thanks also to the Fundaao para a Cincia e a Tecnologia that financed my postdoctoral researches (grant number SFRH/BPD/93297/2013). At the ETHICS (EA-7446) lab of the Catholic University of Lille, I have appreciated the tremendous support given to me by my new colleagues, in particular, Nicolas Vaillant, Malik Bozzo-Rey, Alain Loute, and the members of the research chair Ethics, technology, and transhumanisms: David Doat, Benjamin Bourcier, Stanislas Deprez, Paul Jorion, Jacques Printz, Vincent Calais, Marie-des-Neiges Ruffo, Gabriel Dorthe, Fernand Doridot, and Franck Damour. Jyotsna Massey and Sara Testa helped me a lot with the English grammar.

I am also grateful to all my friends, especially Alessandro, Mattia, Ilya, Davide, Enzo, Marco, Laura, Alice, Elisa, Sebastian, Eleonora, and Sara. I owe everything to my family of origin: my parents Nadia and Luigi, and my sister, Elena, who gave me two fantastic nieces, Lavinia and Beatrice, a newborn nephew, Tommaso, and even an acceptable brother-in-law, Michele. Finally, it would not be enough to thank the family of which I am now part of, Marta, Matteo, Carlo, and Clara. I have no words to describe the joy they give me every day.

I want to introduce this book with a crude confession. When I started to conduct research on hermeneutics and digital technologies, my intentions were mostly destructive. In a previous book of mine (Romele 2013a), a small part of which has been published in English (Romele 2014), I had already worked on a deconstruction of philosophical hermeneutics from above. That work was built on Gadamers rehabilitation of the Augustinian notion of inner word (verbum in corde
