Abstract

Abstract: Cataloging cybernetic thinking shows how the space between what one might think of as "pure" cybernetic application and the study of cybernetics offers a useful path toward understanding how literary studies can engage with cybernetics as a philosophical and intellectual model. This vertical approach folds metadiscourses into more direct engagements with cybernetic ideas and problems and resists the drive for a conceptually and technically unified theory of cybernetic thinking in favor of a multidimensional approach to literary cybernetics. This essay outlines four ways of thinking that have shaped work in literary studies and cybernetics: 1) the analysis of the historical field of cybernetics, 2) transhistorical approaches to cybernetics, 3) the study of cybernetic concepts, methods, and vocabulary, and 4) a focus on epistemologies of failure.

控制论思维方式

摘要:对控制论思维进行编目表明，人们可能认为的“纯”控制论应用与控制论研究之间的空间，为理解文学研究如何将控制论作为一种哲学和智力模型参与其中提供了一条有用的途径。这种垂直的方法将元话语折叠成与控制论思想和问题更直接的接触，并抵制对控制论思想的概念和技术统一理论的驱动，而倾向于对文学控制论的多维方法。本文概述了在文学研究和控制论中形成工作的四种思维方式:1)控制论的历史领域分析，2)控制论的超历史方法，3)控制论概念、方法和词汇的研究，以及4)对失败认识论的关注。

期刊介绍： New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns. By examining the bases of criticism, the journal provokes debate on the relations between literary and cultural texts and present needs. A major international forum for scholarly exchange, New Literary History has received six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
