The computerization of today's world has fundamentally transformed the sites of and for
critique and it challenges the meaning of critique as such. The subject of critique
constituted through the cultural techniques of modernity now collides with the digital which
as a condition of contemporary life can be seen both as a product of modernity and as its very
ending. Digitality severely alters the subject of critique and its spacio-temporal relations
it may even deprive the subject of its potentiality to be critical in the first place. The
authors of this volume therefore examine the existence of critique in the digital asking what
it might be and in what settings it occurs.
