In this episode, we talk to N. Katherine Hayles who's the distinguished research professor at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the James B. Duke Professor Emerita from Duke University. Her prolific research focuses on the relationship between science, literature and technology in the 20th and 21st centuries. We explore her newest book, Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with Our Nonhuman Symbionts, and discuss how the biological concept of symbiosis can inform the relationships we have with AI; how a neural network experiences the world; and whether ChatGPT can be conscious.

In this wide-ranging conversation, I met with acclaimed literary theorist, philosopher and technology scholar N. Katherine Hayles, whose pioneering work has reshaped how we understand the boundaries between humans and machines, cognition and computation, biology and code, artificial intelligence and artificial life. We primarily discussed Katherine's new book Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts. We also discuss elements of Hayles' other works such as How We Became Posthuman and Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious. Hayles has long argued that cognition is not the exclusive domain of conscious, rational minds. In her work, cognition is distributed, embodied, and extended across human, nonhuman, and technical systems. In this chat we explore what it means to take that seriously in a moment when large language models (LLMs), AI, and synthetic biology are reconfiguring the nature of agency and intelligence.

Welcome to our 3rd episode of the "22 Lessons on Ethical Technology" series! We will be releasing new episodes in the series every first and second Friday of the month through the duration of the series. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. N. Kate Hayles, one of the founding theorists of posthumanism, a key term to understanding the changing and dynamic relationship between humans and machines in the digital age. What is the role of the Humanities in understanding our relationship to technology? How have our technological innovations have changed the nature of “the human?" And what is the future of the human relationship to our machines--and to our understanding of ourselves? Dr. N. Katherine Hayles is a Distinguished Research Professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles and the James B. Duke Professor of Literature Emerita at Duke University. She teaches and writes on the relations of literature, science and technology in the 20th and 21st centuries. Her most recent book, Postprint: Books and Becoming Computational, was published by the Columbia University Press (Spring 2021). Among her many books is her landmark work How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature and Informatics, which won the Rene Wellek Prize for the Best Book in Literary Theory for 1998-99, and Writing Machines, which won the Suzanne Langer Award for Outstanding Scholarship. She has been recognized by many fellowships and awards, including two NEH Fellowships, a Guggenheim, a Rockefeller Residential Fellowship at Bellagio, and two University of California Presidential Research Fellowships.  Dr. Hayles is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Science. She holds a B.S. from the Rochester Institute of Technology, an M.S. from the California Institute of Technology, an M.A. from Michigan State University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. Within the field of Posthuman Studies, Dr. Hayles'  book How We Became Posthuman is considered "the key text which brought posthumanism to broad international attention. Her work has laid the foundations for multiple areas of thinking across a wide variety of urgent issues at the intersection of technology, including cybernetic history, feminism, postmodernism, cultural and literary criticism, and is vital to our ongoing conversations about the changing relationship between humans and the technologies we create.

在无数人家里扮演家务BGM的播客主播们，自己做家务吗？本期「自由潜水」喜迎大串台，「NiCE TRY」主播文森特动物园、「不可理论」的主播宝婷和刚刚做完大扫除的钟娜一起，讨论了一下做家务这件事在现代城市人日常生活中的意义。 是自己做，还是推给别人做？是想到就要皱眉头的苦工，还是可以期待的解压方式？是永无止境的重复劳动，还是可以自由创造的灵光时刻？做家务的人和不做家务的人，和家的关系有怎样的差别？从烘干机到扫地机器人，家用电器怎样嵌入了我们的生活空间？和家务紧密捆绑的性别气质是天然的吗？ 或许，断舍离之所以能成为一种魔法，是因为“整理”真的不止适用于乱糟糟的房间，也适用于人生。当我们用洗衣凝珠桶的刻度记录时间的流逝，把随处乱窜的猫看成一种会叫的家用电器，在自创烤箱食谱的时候体会即兴爵士的乐趣，冷冰冰的碗碟、电线和地板也终于通过互动与连接成为我们有机的家，和我们一起日复一日的家务中新陈代谢，有了呼吸的节律。 【本期潜水成员】 宝婷，《不可理论》播客主理人，自由作者。（豆瓣和微博ID：tifanie） 文森特动物园，《NiCE TRY》播客主播。（微博ID：文森特动物园） 钟娜，中英双语写作者，译者。译有《聊天记录》《正常人》。（豆瓣ID：阿枣） 【时间轴】 02:39 全网最受欢迎的家务播客主播，自己有什么家务诀窍？ 07:14 家是有器官的生命体，整理家务的过程也是在新陈代谢 09:21 洗衣凝珠桶就是成年人用来记录时间的小猪猪存钱罐 13:43 怦然心动的人生整理魔法，是科学还是玄学？ 25:43 说不定，让自己舒服才是最好的收纳标准！ 30:56 家务知识靠秘传：在不约而同的汤泡饭中发现城市的神秘连结 37:22 烹饪就像爵士乐，想即兴演奏还要多进阶 49:46 家务劳动的性别化：收拾房间不存在理所当然！ 【节目中提到的作品】 波伏瓦《第二性》 汪民安《论家用电器》 近藤麻理惠《怦然心动的人生整理魔法》 松本忠男《家的扫除》 山下英子《家事断舍离》 佐藤可士和《佐藤可士和的超整理术》 米歇尔·德·塞尔托《日常生活实践》 日剧《家政夫三田园》 无印良品四十周年品牌片《Cleaning》 【本期推荐作品】 宝婷 推荐 Unthought by Katherine Hayles “这本书的作者认为，诸如植物这样一般认为没有智慧的生物，以及一些系统，其实都有自己的智能。这本书可以让我们理解自生发的生命体是如何与环境互动的。” 文森特 推荐 《浪客行》 [日]井上雄彦 “这部连载漫画记录了一个武士花了很多时间去种田的故事。种田的过程中保持某一种心境、获得某一种心流，最后对浪人这份‘本职工作'产生了无法估量的帮助。这就和做家务很像，实际获得的成就感可能很微小，但可以拿着这份成就感和勇气去做更多的事情“

In this episode, we chat with N. Katherine Hayles, Distinguished Professor of English at UCLA and James B. Duke Professor of Literature Emerita at Duke University, about feminism, embodiment, cognition, and human-AI relationships. We explore the role of feminism in science and technology, what productive conversations between engineers and humanities scholars look like, literary depictions of non-human embodiment and cognition, and the distribution of cognition across human-AI systems.   

Joining today: Julia Perch, a Russian-American psychiatrist, illustrator and writer of the upcoming novel, UmbraJulia and I first met in an online writing group, where she confessed that she was struggling with some friends and family who felt that her story was either a work of witchcraft or inspired by the devil.As a tremendous believer in the power of dreams, imagination, and what lives on in the emptiest places of our minds, this hurt her deeply. But still, she was inspired to write; to share the new and weird spaces that her characters occupied.So join us tonight for a conversation on surreal fiction, Otherness, character ‘arks’ and archetypes, and how the languages we speak can affect the tales that we write.- JShow NotesParis in the Twentieth Century, by Jules VerneButler-Bowdon’s summary on the Collective Unconscious and Jungian ArchetypesEbert’s review of The Twelve Chairs, with Dom Deluise, Ron Moody, and Frank LangellaThe State of Weird, by Helen Marshall, a brief historical review and essay on the genreA History of God, by Karen Armstrong; N.

N. Katherine Hayles je sice oficiálně literární teoretičkou, ale od počátku své kariéry se věnuje technologické kultuře, problémům vnímání nebo proměně lidství tváří v tvář novým technologiím. „Naše symbióza s komputačními médii je hlubší a hlubší,“ říká v rozhovoru, ve kterém rozebíráme umělou inteligenci, fitness aplikace nebo důvody, proč se vyplatí dívat se za hranici lidského světa – třeba na to, jak funguje kognitivní aparát rostlin.

On this episode of Marooned!, we're discussing Part 4 of Blue Mars, "Green Earth," a Nirgal chapter. Nirgal, Sax, Maya, and Michel have traveled to Earth as a Martian delegation to attempt to normalize relations to the home planet and help out where they can. Nirgal goes off on a series of disorienting and hallucinatory adventures and comes back sick! Matt and Hilary spend some time chatting about what they've been up to since the last episode. Hilary "moderated" a "panel" at an event co-sponsored by the Chicago Humanities Festival and Humanities Without Walls as part of the MLA conference (or something). N. Katherine Hayles and Evan Selinger had a lot to say! Delightful weirdos who strangely think the humanities are important were in attendance--including the president of the MLA! In our "Mars in Popular Culture Roundup of the Week" segment, which will doubtless be expanded to a weekly extra episode once Tom Hanks gives us a million dollars, Matt watched two Mars-related movies that were bad: Capricorn One and something on Netflix (2036: Origin Unknown). Then we get to the good stuff. This chapter is hallucinatory and impressionistic, anchored in Nirgal's bodily experiences, but also full of subtle references to the history of colonialism, literature, and post-colonial thought, as we discover. Connections we make include C.L.R. James, Frankenstein, Treasure Island, Freud, Agatha Christie, Mr. Belvedere, Jamaica Kincaid, Great Expectations, Moby-Dick, K-19: The Widowmaker, New York 2140. Home at last, Nirgal encounters a planet that wants to kill him, where he feels most at home in zones that are out of reach of earthly life--high in the Alps on a glacier and beneath the sea, polluted and more dangerous than before. We reflect on Nirgal's perennial homelessness as a constitutive lack, which takes his experience of the overwhelming colors, heat, and moisture of Earth from the hallucinatory to the uncanny, or unheimlich in Freudian thinking. This is appropriate because he also keeps running into doppelgängers of his parents, Coyote and Hiroko. All the while, the relation between Earth and Mars is up for debate. Hilary gives a critique of the concept of population and Malthusian logic, and makes a case for faith in people's willingness to figure out the common good in the here-and-now rather than defer decision-making to an investment in an unknowable future. People should get to live good lives while they're alive! Back to our common Arendtian refrain: why put all your faith in the future when you could work to make the present better? Elsewhere, Matt becomes as smart as Jamaica Kincaid when he discovers that you can take the colonies away from the empire, but you can't take colonialism away from the colonizers, and he does a really bad British accent. A very fond farewell to all our listeners across the pond! Things Hilary doesn't like: Tom Hanks, The Family Guy, Avengers: Infinity War (discussed off-mic).

"We should not see print and electronic literature as in competition, but rather in conversation. The more voices that join in, the richer the dialogue is likely to be." - Katherine Hayles Bienvenue à NT2 - Radio, pour notre deuxième épisode nous avons la chance de parler avec  Lisa Tronca de l'oeuvre GLOBODROME et Bertrand Gervais poursuit son exploration du moteur de recherche Google.

Katherine Hayles is best known for her work as a postmodern social and literary critic. Now a professor at Duke University, Hayles joins TechEmergence for a discussion about the difference between consciousness and cognition, from the features that differentiate the two to the types of technologies that facilitate each. Hayles contributes her views on how the technologies of the future may impact human consciousness and the very role of human being

Katherine Hayles - A Theory of the Total Archive: Infinite Expansion, Infinite Compression, and Apparatuses of Control Keynote / Public Lecture from the conference The Total Archive Conference Summary Conveners Boris Jardine (University of Cambridge) Matthew Drage (University of Cambridge, PhD candidate) Ruth Horry (University of Cambridge) Summary The complete system of knowledge is a standard trope of science fiction, a techno-utopian dream and an aesthetic ideal. It is Solomon’s House, the Encyclopaedia and the Museum. It is also an ideology – of Enlightenment, High Modernism and absolute governance. Far from ending the dream of a total archive, twentieth-century positivist rationality brought it ever closer. From Paul Otlet’s Mundaneum to Mass-Observation, from the Unity of Science movement to Isaac Asimov’s Encyclopedia Galactica, from the Whole Earth Catalog to Wikipedia, the dream of universal knowledge dies hard. These projects triumphantly burst their own bounds, generating more archival material, more information, than can ever be processed. When it encounters well defined areas – the sportsfield or the model organism – the total archive tracks every movement of every player, of recording every gene and mutation. Increasingly this approach is inverted: databases are linked; quantities are demanded where only qualities existed before. The Human Genome Project is the most famous, but now there are countless databases demanding ever more varied input. Here the question of what is excluded becomes central. The total archive is a political tool. It encompasses population statistics, GDP, indices of the Standard of Living and the international ideology of UNESCO, the WHO, the free market and, most recently, Big Data. The information-gathering practices of statecraft are the total archive par excellence, carrying the potential to transfer power into the open fields of economics and law – or divest it into the hands of criminals, researchers and activists. Questions of the total archive engage key issues in the philosophy of classification, the poetics of the universal, the ideology of surveillance and the technologies of information retrieval. What are the social structures and political dynamics required to sustain total archives, and what are the temporalities implied by such projects? In order to confront the ideology and increasing reality of interconnected data-sets and communication technologies we need a robust conceptual framework – one that does not sacrifice historical nuance for the ability to speculate. This conference brings together scholars from a wide range of fields to discuss the aesthetics and political reality of the total archive.

Mainstream and avant-garde poets and fiction writers have been exploring the literary potential of the computer for decades, creating work that goes far beyond today’s e-books. The creators of electronic literature have developed new interface methods, new techniques for collaboration, and new ways of linking language, computing, and other media elements. How has electronic literature influenced other media, including the Web and the book? What are the implications of having literary projects in the digital sphere alongside other forms of communication and art? Katherine Hayles is professor in the literature program at Duke University. Her books include Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary (2008) and My Mother Was a Computer: Digital Subjects and Literary Texts (2005). Rita Raley is associate professor of English at the University of California at Santa Barbara where she directs Transcriptions, a research and pedagogic initiative on literature and the culture of information. Her most recent publications include the co-edited Electronic Literature Collection, volume 2.

Katherine Hayles is Distinguished Professor of english and media studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research interests concern topics related to literature and science in the 20th and 21st century; 20th and 21st century American fiction; electronic textuality, hypertext fiction and theory; science fiction; literary theory; and media theory. With degrees in both chemistry and English literature, Hayles is one of the foremost scholars of the relationship between literature and science in the late twentieth century. She is the author six books, including How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature and Informatics (1999), which won the Rene Wellek Prize for the Best Book in Literary Theory for 1998-1999; and Writing Machines (2001), which won the Suzanne Langer Award for Outstanding Scholarship. Her most recent book is Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary (2007). The winner of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, two NEH Fellowships, a Rockefeller Residential Fellowship at Bellagio, and a fellowship at the National Humanities Center, Hayles is currently working on study of narrative and database
