About
Legibility in the Age of Signs and Machines' offers a compelling reflection on what the notion of legibility entails in a machinic world in which any form of cultural expression - from literary texts, films, artworks and museum exhibits to archives, laws, computer programs and algorithms - necessarily partakes in ever-more complex processes of (mass) mediation. Divided over four clusters focusing on desire, justice, machine and heritage, the chapters in the volume explore what makes something legible or illegible to whom or, indeed, what; the kinds of reading, processing or navigating such il/legibility facilitates or forecloses; and the role critical (media) theory, literary studies and the Humanities in general can play in tackling these and related issues.
