This article follows the recurrent theme in Friedrich Kittler's 40 years of prolific academic writing, which is of course the media-related production of discourse. Five heuristic principles are identified in his work: enabling, reduction, historization, the abolishment of the 'two cultures', and post-hermeneutics. The paper closes with criticism of the intrinsic limits of Kittler's point of view.
