Watch live on Hangouts On Air!  Critical Code Studies is in its broadest terms the "extra-functional significance of computer code." It takes as a starting point that computer code (HTML, Java, Python, binary, etc) is not objective or neutral, but that, since it is created within a social system by humans, it is subject to critical reading along the lines of race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and ethnicity. Is there such a thing, for example, as a feminist code or postcolonial code? In thinking through these ideas, critical code studies takes seriously the notion of code as a very different "text" than is commonly the subject of these analyses, and explores this space between machine reading and human reading of code.
