Comment on On Efficiency by Michael

In the UK at least, humanities folk can no longer afford to ask such questions – the logic of efficiency has found the humanities wanting. Will there be anyone left to ask which came first, the dogma of economic efficiency or the dogma of computational efficiency?

Comment on What does it mean to “interpret” code? by Kevin Gotkin

I think this is a great, expansive way to describe the interpretive gesturing that CCS is after. Of course, what makes it so capacious is also what can make it problematic (problem, here, I see as a positive term). I’m thinking of the problem of scale. It seems that CS people are able to get very small with their interpretation; they can talk about a specific line of code and locate it within a larger function of the software. On the other hand, there are the anthropologists, sociologists, humanists, and non-coders in general who, by dint of their lack of CS training, tend toward the larger, cultural studies concerns; they talk about the role of the software in an even larger function of code in sociological/historical/technological moment. As one of humanists, I can say I’m often quite nervous about not being able to talk deftly about the nuts and bolts of code. I can’t read code like one reads a paragraph from a novel. And I suspect it works the other way, too: CS scholars might be worried that they don’t have enough grounding in cultural studies methods to be able to make larger claims about software. This tension, this problem of scale, is what I see as the central and essential bedrock of CCS. The challenge in interpreting code will always be to bridge the small and the large, which in the end probably requires a well-connected, diverse, and chatty group of people. To respond, then, to the problem that I think this post is trying to tackle: I think CCS sets itself apart as a nascent subfield because of its interdisciplinarity, which demands not only a group of border-crossing scholars, but also a unique way of talking to each other about their objects and subjects of scholarship.

Comment on Critical Code Studies vs. Software Studies by Patrick Burgaud

Emphasis is important indeed. I think that emphasizing code or computation is not only a question of limited time. Choosing for programable poetry was/is for me as a practitionner nothing more than going to a new kind of perception, if I may say “text free”, going on with some main principles of visual, sound, action poetries,as poetical expressions AGAINST printed poetry. I would say, but I am not sure if I’m right, especially of the consequences of this idea, that epoetry focuses on computation despite the code. I think that executability is essential, as the basic condition of epoetry. Studying code leads to a better comprehension of what programable art deeply is, can be, and/or would be. One the critical studies (in general) functions is to make clearer to everybody, audience and pratictionners, what is essential in one case and what not. Reading the code can be important in both situations, but with other outcomes.

Thanks for the mention! SLSA was excellent, well-attended, and the papers on CCS were varied and thoughtful (though I only managed to make it to a few).
