Dispositif

“The anthology serves as a rallying cry, challenging the increasing inertia of the many individuals who are being seduced by the transhumanist dream of ‘engineers’ of today. Engaging with the concept of dispositif is one way to resist this mechanization, lest we become, in Marx’s words, ‘organs of the human brain, created by the human hand; the power of knowledge objectified.’”
—Configurations

“[R]eaders are free to explore and wander at will, allowing the suggested pathways to be subverted and the internal narrative to be reorganized through interpretation…. [T]his collection of instances in which the dispositif appears, surfaces, and suggests itself under a plurality of disguises inscribes into the persistent Foucauldian question of the diagnoses of reality, and serves — as it should — as one of the many tools in the toolbox with which they can be performed.”
–Foucault Studies

“Dispositif: A Cartography makes an excellent case for [the] hermeneutical truism that to read a text involves reading countless other texts, and, what is more, it facilitates this process beautifully.”
—Krisis
