Lydia H. Liu is W. T. Tam Professor in the Humanities in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and Director of Graduate Studies at the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University. She is the author or editor of seven books in English and Chinese, including, most recently The Clash of Empires: The Invention of China in Modern World Making.
The identity and role of writing has evolved in the age of digital media. But how did writing itself make digital media possible in the first place? Lydia H. Liu offers here the first rigorous study of the political history of digital writing and its fateful entanglement with the Freudian unconscious.
Liu’s innovative analysis brings the work of theorists and writers back into conversation with one another to document significant meetings of minds and disciplines. She shows how the earlier avant-garde literary experiments with alphabetical writing and the word-association games of psychoanalysis contributed to the mathematical making of digital media. Such intellectual convergence, she argues, completed the transformation of alphabetical writing into the postphonetic, ideographic system of digital media, which not only altered the threshold of sense and nonsense in communication processes but also compelled a new understanding of human-machine interplay at the level of the unconscious.
Ranging across information theory, cybernetics, modernism, literary theory, neurotic machines, and psychoanalysis, The Freudian Robot rewrites the history of digital media and the literary theory of the twentieth century.

刘禾认为战后法国后结构主义的重要思想来源是美国的控制论和计算机技术,也就是说,60年代红起来的“法国理论”其实是美国理论的出口转内销。可算是重要的转向之作,但是相比她写的和中国研究相关的两本书,这本关注似乎不多。
评分将在读变成读过,经过挺长的时间,这本书很值得玩味,细读不为过。
评分控制论格外青睐,部分厘清了控制论对现在人文学科的社会理论和对社会关系的想象的深远影响(比如拉康)

评分媒介理论把刘禾的主要贡献归结到“书写”上了,始于06年关于乔伊斯“iSpace”的文章。里面大致是通过香农的信息论、熵论解读了印刷英文的编码意义(codification),从而“解构”了德里达关于书写与语音对立的历史叙述。
