Philosophical Interruptions and Post-Ideational Genres: Thinking Beyond Literacy

Abstract

In this energetic exchange, McKenzie questions traditional forms of literacy by challenging their dependency upon the thinking subject as the ground of thought. Depicting philosophy as the great interrupter, shifting the show from storytelling to arguments, he accuses literacy of organizing the world into logocentric zones of colonialism. Promoting a new way of thinking via digitality, McKenzie launches his intervention by creating non-linear, multimedia, and transdisciplinary modes of thought, reinscribing conceptual arguments outside phonetic writing in surprisingly new architectures of ideation.
