In the field of philosophy and cultural studies of technology and engineering, the journal promotes research and reflection on the manifold relations of Technology and Language. These include the grammar of things, design principles, and the rules of composition for the creation of technological systems or devices. Like literature and art, technology and engineering express ideas of human nature and the good life. Language and technology intersect when cooking and building, writing and playing follow instructions or execute programs, also when games, narratives, or amusement parks are propelled by dramaturgical machinery. Technologies simultaneously make up and help navigate today‘s multilingual world by way of techniques and technologies that support language acquisition. The production of written text as well the subjects of science fiction bring new and old technologies into play. — On this wide range of issues, epistemological and ethical analysis complements empirical investigations from history and contemporary culture, from educational and engineering practice. The journal serves as a platform for an interdisciplinary community of researchers and their philosophical, cultural, historical explorations.
