As Derrida and Stiegler discuss the role of teletechnologies in
modern society, the political implications of Derrida's thought
become apparent. Drawing on recent events in Europe, Derrida and
Stiegler explore the impact of television and the internet on our
understanding of the state, its borders and citizenship. Their
discussion examines the relationship between the juridical and the
technical, and it shows how new technologies for manipulating and
transmitting images have influenced our notions of democracy,
history and the body. The book opens with a shorter interview with
Derrida on the news media, and closes with a provocative essay by
Stiegler on the epistemology of digital photography.
In Echographies of Television, Derrida and Stiegler open up questions that are of key social and political importance. Their book will be of great interest to all those already familiar with Derrida's work, as well as to students and scholars of philosophy, literature, sociology and media studies.
