Technology and social space beyond the modern episteme

This dissertation concerns the relations between technology and social space. It traces, on the one hand, modernist approaches to these questions; but then, on the other hand, attempts to find alternative ways to approach these questions through the work of Bruno Latour, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and Henri Lefebvre. It posits an a-modern, machinic approach to technology and the social that focusses on the distribution of agency rather than the modern preoccupation with identity and the Kantian separation of time and space.
