Don't get me wrong, Otto. I like Kittler, too, and enjoyed
his contributions to the discussion very much. It is just
that I personally would have preferred a little more
literary criticism in the narrower meaning of the word.
For example, are the mathematics in AtD merely elements of
the novel's plot, or do they also have an influence on its
structure? Perhaps similar to the Iceland Spar which,
apart from its historical significance, seems to work as
some kind of metaphor with regard to the profusion of
doubles, mirror images, Doppelgaenger etc. in AtD? This
kind of stuff.
Just off of the top of my head.
Thomas
