Panagiotis Sotiris - Hegemony, Strategy, Organisation: Reading Gramsci Today

In the work of Antonio Gramsci, a potential hegemony of the subaltern emerges as an antagonistic practice of politics. This refers to the possibility that, through the resistances, struggles, and collective aspirations of labor, new forms of production can emerge that are egalitarian, sustainable, and democratically coordinated, based on the collective knowledge, experience, and ingenuity of the subaltern. It also refers to the potential for new popular cultures, constantly interacting with high culture, and the reclaiming of everything within it that is emancipatory and critical. Achieving this requires new forms of collective organization conceived as experimental sites for the production of new intellectualities, subjectivities, and strategies.

Jon Douglas Solomon - Foucault and Genocide: A Genealogy of the Fantasy of the West

Michel Foucault’s seminal realization that security is a species concept opens a new path for understanding how genocide is fundamentally related to aesthetic ideology. Fueled by the settler colonial imaginary, the logic of “speciation” inevitably acquires a fictional aspect that is an enduring site of potentially catastrophic instability for transitional modernity. The genealogical source of this catastrophic instability is nothing other than the West, the template for the apparatus of area and anthropological difference. The West's quest to control political transitions throughout the world is an essential part of a larger project to control “speciation.” Inasmuch as “speciation” is tied, says Foucault, to security, and genocide is tied, according to A. Dirk Moses, to the search for permanent security, the attempt to seek permanent security through control over “speciation,” i.e., transition, lies at the root of modern genocide.

Анастасия Пяри - Мыслить иначе

Зачем Юк Хуэй фрагментирует будущее

Юк Хуэй (да, мы знаем, что никакой он не Хуэй, но будем следовать устоявшейся традиции) уже многие годы не дает покоя всем, кто интересуется актуальной философией в свете неостановимого технологического прогресса. И вот его очередной, но вовсе не проходной сборник «Фрагментация будущего» стараниями издательства «Ад Маргинем» увидел свет в конце тоннеля на русском языке. Почему эта книга внешне кажется осколками мыслей по случайному поводу, а на деле представляет собой целостное высказывание, объясняет Анастасия Пяри.

Muskism ft. Quinn Slobodian & Ben Tarnoff

Historian Quinn Slobodian and tech writer Ben Tarnoff talk to Alex Hochuli and Alex Gourevitch about their new book, Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed, and why we should ask "what is Musk a symptom of?"

If Fordism characterised the mid-20th century, are our times those of Muskism What are the touchstones of Muskism that the authors identify: fortress futurism, financial fabulism, state symbiosis? Who is the real Musk, that of vehicles, energy, infrastructure, or that of the post-industrial stuff of social media, finance, AI? What does Muskism promise people? How does it legitimise itself if at all? Is the state actually dependent on Musk, or is Musk dependent on the state? How much of Musk's right-wing turn is necessary to Muskism, and how much is contingent? Is the racial component central?
