The Kittler Short Text Corpus comprises writing and articles relating to the pivotal German media theorist Friedrich Kittler from the period 1974-2001. It is the first outcome of collaboration between Merve Verlag and the Kittler foundation, made available here as an Invenio repository. Audio recordings, circuit designs and software, as well as an extensive archive of Kittler's writings are being developed as a digital edition by this project - please contact merve@merve.de for further information.
