Readings for September
In Words Made Flesh by Florian Cramer, I’d like you to tackle as much of pages 14-55 (chapter 2) as you can handle. The gist of chapter 2 is looking at the various mythologies and religions that haunt our nice orderly code systems.
For those who are in a skimming mood, here’s the parts I’d like you to focus on:
• p. 14 - 20 on Magic and Religion
• p. 36 - 44 on Ramon Llull
• p. 53 - 55 is an outline of the “theological politics” that Cramer sees running through the poetic and cultural practices of code.
If you can only read a few pages, then read the outline and skim pp14-20.
Let me know how it goes in your blog (or email me if you have any particularly violent complaints….)
