On Friday 10th February I will be talking about 'design fiction' for the Pervasive Media Studio's lunchtime talk series. 'Design Fiction' describes ways of using storytelling techniques, especially in the form of video, to make speculative design ideas feel real. I have collected together the various resources from which I have drawn my materials for the talk into a preliminary bibliography that may be of use to others interested in the topic.

Following Patrick Crogan's post pointing to Ben Robertson's blog, and courtesy of Daniel Ross’ Twitter stream (and with his permission), here is a complete list of Bernard Stiegler’s work translated into English. Many of these translations are by Ross (notably Acting Out, with our own Patrick Crogan, and For a New Critique of Political Economy, Taking Care of Youth and the Generations and The Decadence of Industrial Democracies). Not included, apparently, are several unpublished works.

We are conducting ongoing investigations into the co-production of space and place between the human and the technical (following Stiegler, neither pre-exists the other) that Martin Dodge and Rob Kitchin have usefully labeled "Code/Space".  This is not, of course, the only form of spatiality that is associated with the performance of 'technicity' in everyday life, but it is a useful category for description.  I have prepared a thematic bibliography, including references from Kitchin & Dodge's "Code/Space: Software and Everyday Life", that may be of interest and/or useful to others. Please find it in plain text below.
