Critical Code Studies is the application of the hermeneutics of the humanities to the interpretation of the extra-functional significance of computer source code. "Extra" does not here mean "outside of" but rather "growing out from." In Critical Code Studies, computer code serves as the entry point to explorations of digital culture.
Among the community resources on this site are pages dedicated to the code from the book Critical Code Studies (MIT Press).
Links on this page will also take you to the Zotero reading collection, an online reading list for Critical Code Studies; the Humanities and Critical Code Studies Lab, a research group that explores, develops, and promotes Critical Code Studies; and the latest Critical Code Studies Working Group, a biennial online gathering of scholars seeking to explore new areas and code snippets.
