Bibliography

Languages and Automata (Alexandra Silva)

Regular Languages and Finite Automata (Andrew Pitts)

Both of the above works deal with language in computing. They include definitions of language, deterministic and non-deterministic models, regular expressions, and formulae. (Inspirational on the level of notions and terms and also in comparison with other ideas and formulae around language found eg. in the disciplines of semantics or syntax).

Mainframe Experimentalism (Hannah Higgins)

This compilation brings the world of language and computing together, as creation and as a space for experimentation. It includes examples of media art containing language. (Inspirational for artistic practice).

Computing as Writing (Andrew Pitts)

This work investigates the role of the programmer (and general computer worker) as an author. It approaches the themes of labor and creativity. (Useful when dealing with biases and assumptions around meaning).

Phenomenology of Spirit (GWF Hegel)

This work deals in depth with the creation of consciousness and the advancement to a higher, informed and intellectual consciousness. It places emphasis on the dialectical space (and this is exactly the space that interests me).

The Stranger (Albert Camus)

A simple man commits murder and is trialed and sentenced for it. (The indifferent, detached way the character experiences his life, the things considered crucial during his trial [his morality, judged mainly by the way he relates to his mother] are an interesting study of the social dynamics and the way the modern person is shaped).
