"The machine is neither an intimate part of me, nor§is it other. Instead: it is that within me which§belongs to the other. The machine is ex-timate."§§This book attempts to challenge traditionally held§theories of technology assuming a clear-cut§distinction between the machine and the human.§Heralded by both instrumentalism and determinism§alike, the belief in technology as a radical other to§subjective becoming has seduced current debate into§an apocalyptic deadlock that ultimately presents us§with a false choice between salvation and§destruction, technophilia and technophobia. Here, a§psychoanalytic theory, derived from the work of§Jacques Lacan, may be introduced as a method of§critical intervention. The machine is re-imagined as§no longer the fantastic locus of final overcoming,§but an originary supplement to the negotiation of§being. Not least Martin Heidegger s famous lecture§"Die Frage zum Wesen der Technologie" as well as its§profound influence on thinkers such as Marshall§McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard may thus be critically§explored from a Lacanian vantage point.
