The time for debating the possibility of critical readings of code is now over. It is time to begin the business of reading code.
The Working Group will offer an opportunity to produce methodologies and readings for Critical Code Studies. It will be organized around a series of hosted discussions and presentations about reading code launched weekly.
Publication: electronic book review
electronic book review will be publishing curated threads from the Working Group discussions.
We are also planning a mini-conference after the Working Group. Details to follow.
Interested graduate students will find application information on the Critical Code Studies blog (also included below).
Interested faculty and independent scholars should contact Mark Marino directly at markcmarino at gmail dot com.
This is shaping up to be an exciting proving ground for the next chapters in Critical Code Studies.
