I thought it would be useful for me but also for others that read this blog to make a list with the references used for my dissertation. In time, I will keep updating it and have the final version which will be included in the final version of my dissertation. Feel free to comment and propose me other sources as well.

Hi, Mariloup,
I found your pages while looking for info on circuitbending… I, too, am writing an academic paper (15-20) pages on the topic. we should talk. write me!
I am looking at it in terms of issues of gender, social theory, and its relation to DIY/Make/Hacking and F/OSS.
also, i have an ongoing debate with my advisor. he sees it as a somewhat uninformed trend, with no overarching strategy… a kind of pageant of exchanged sign values. an example of Marx’s commodity fetish.
i disagree. I think there’s more to it than that, even fi it’s not quite articulated. I’m looking at it as part of a Nomadic strategy, in the tradition of deleuze and guattari. as preparation for something bigger. i’m not sure what yet…
we should definitely share sources and have a dialogue about this! as you have probably noticed, there is very little academic info on the practice. i’ve found a bunch of interesting similar articlds around “glitch” in the jounral organised sound.
check this out: http://ramocki.net/ramocki-diy.pdf
it’s called DIY: the militant embrace of technology. he gets into some theory when he says that hackers “reverse the sign relationship” or somethign similar.
ok, gottaa go, write back or send me a draft. i’ll send you my drafts, too if you like.
