In this research project, I con­ceive agency as an attribute of medial oper­a­tions rather than of indi­vid­u­als. Cer­tain com­bi­na­tions of oper­a­tions pro­duce an agent, which may or may not coin­cide with an actual per­son. Con­se­quently, I argue that the term “intel­lec­tual” invokes an out­dated prac­tice. Not the intel­lec­tual is an endan­gered species, but his text-​based and text-​biased medial oper­a­tions. As an alter­na­tive, I have looked at sound and music engi­neer­ing as a prac­tice of knowl­edge production.
