  Planned Obsolescence: Texts, Theory, Technology

  This conference does not intend to focus on the economic, social or environmental aspects of planned obsolescence; these are widely discussed in the literature of these fields, which is already extensive and continually growing. Instead, we would like to explore its implications regarding artistic, literary and theoretical productions and continue the discussion started by Kathleen Fitzpatrick in her work on planned obsolescence in academic publishing. Our goal is to address planned obsolescence as an analytical tool to study artistic and literary works, the genres to which they belong and the theoretical discourses related to them. We would like to address the many facets of planned obsolescence: representational, formal, theoretical, mediational, technological, etc.
