2014 is the tenth anniversary of the publication of McKenzie Wark's A
Hacker Manifesto. In the intervening time it has been translated into
nine languages, not to mention being pirated all over the world. While
its theses might have had some modest critical purchase on the state of
affairs at the turn of the century, perhaps it is time to take a more
critical look at it core propositions, in order to revise, refute or
reformulate them for the time ahead.
In this two day workshop (Friday, April 4 and Friday, April 11), writers
and scholars from a range of fields will be reconsider one section each
of the book, subject it to ruthless criticism, and offer exploratory
pointers toward new theses that have more bite on the times. The
following presenters will discuss the topics of Abstraction, Class,
Education, Hacking, History, Infomration, Nature, Production, Property,
Representation, Revolt, State, Subject, Surplus, Vector, World:
Moderator:
McKenzie Wark, professor, Culture and Media and Professor, Liberal
Studies, The New School for Social Research, Eugene Lang College The New
School for Liberal Arts
