Abstract:

Paul Kockelman asks: What does it take to automate, format, and network
meaningful practices? What difference does this make for those who engage in
such practices? And what is at stake? Reciprocally: How can we better
understand computational processes from the standpoint of meaningful
practices? How can we leverage such processes to better understand such
practices? And what lies in wait? In answering these questions, Kockelman
stays very close to fundamental concerns of computer science that emerged in
the first half of the twentieth-century. Rather than foreground the latest
application, technology or interface, he accounts for processes that underlie
each and every digital technology deployed today. 

In a novel method, The Art of Interpretation leverages key ideas of American
pragmatism-a philosophical stance that understands the world, and our relation
to it, in a way that avoids many of the conundrums and criticisms of
conventional twentieth-century social theory. It puts this stance in dialogue
with certain currents, and key texts, in anthropology and linguistics, science
and technology studies, critical theory, computer science, and media studies.
