We have the opportunity to read a chapter from Rita Raley's forthcoming book Tactical Media, entitled "Border Hacks: Electronic Civil Disobedience and the Politics of Immigration" (reading available at http://nmwg.notlong.com/).
As time permits, we suggest reading/skimming at least one of the other already suggested pieces as a knowledge of them would add dimension to our discussion.

Please join the New Media Working Group to discuss Jacques Derrida's Archive Fever, a lecture delivered on June 5, 1994, at the Freud Museum in London. We will look closely at the unnamed introduction, "Exergue," and "Preamble" (pages 1-31), paying special attention to Derrida's meditations on the psychical archive's relation to memory and the death drive, on the future of psychoanalytic inscription and historiography in light of electronic media, and on the filiation of digital archives.
Stick around after the meeting for another Berkeley Center for New Media Tea... good food and conversation!
