For those of you who (like me) are into big words and sentence structures that make your head hurt, the online journal Fibreculture's issue 4 focuses on theories of contagious information:
This issue of Fibreculture Journal, dedicated as it is to an exploration of the matter of contagion and the diseases of information, may be usefully read in the context of the political, ethical and theoretical problem of resistance, such as it was outlined by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in 1991. Indeed, the connection which Deleuze and Guattari make – between an excess of communication and a lack of resistance – suggests very strongly the possibility of an epidemiological determination of contemporary politics, and this in a number of senses.
Lots of Deleuze & Guattari, Virilio, Foucault, Serres, and more.
