Enlightenment, they argue, needs to be engaged within the newly broad sense of mediation introduced here--not only oral, visual, written, and printed media, but everything that intervenes, enables, supplements, or is simply in between. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith essays addressing infrastructure and genres, associational practices and protocols, this volume establishes mediation as the condition of possibility for enlightenment. In so doing, it not only answers Kant's query; it also poses its own broader question: how would foregrounding mediation change the kinds and areas of inquiry in our own epoch? \u003ci\u003eThis Is Enlightenment \u003c\/i\u003eis a landmark volume\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ewith the polemical force and archival depth to start a conversation that extends across the disciplines that the Enlightenment itself first configured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClifford Siskin\u003c\/b\u003e is the Henry W. and Albert A.
