A first, more theoretical part, which aims to illustrate the various stages of the conception of an "original technicity" proposed by Stiegler, will be followed by a brief mention of the "symptomatology" of contemporary society that he himself proposes, and will conclude with a "pharmacological" opening, oriented towards the therapeutic treatment of these symptoms of collective malaise. In this way, it will be possible to see how, according to Stiegler, it is only by placing technical thinking at the service of understanding and the distribution of time, above all as the time of knowledge, that it is possible to escape from the deafening paralysis that characterizes the contemporary dimension of thinking.

Writing Assemblages, Ontologies and Techno-Politics” aims to unfold some functions of the concept of machine in Guattari, with particular attention to the operation of constant transformation of its conceptual layers in the period comprised between Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus and in the Nineties. Starting from the birth of the abstract machine, it will follow its becomings and the several machinations to which it is subjected. In doing this, the paper specifically focuses on 1) the singular philosophical operation (and writing experience) undertaken by Guattari; 2) the politicization of the concept of machine, which also requires a sort of ontologization; and 3) the technological bifurcation of the same concept in the last formulations of the author. While presenting itself as an independent paper, it is also the second part of a more general work on the conceptual, ontological, techno-logical and political ecological status of Guattarian machines. The first part, “Machinic Untimeliness I. Machine Becomings and Conceptual Machinations”, is presented jointly with this article, which is not a simple linear continuation of the previous one, but a perspectival integration, which is made of echoes and refrains, and which in some way claims to further machinate the genealogy of the concept.

Such locality is thus more about what gives or produces place than what protects it. The concept of locality described in the article is a counterweight to discourses presenting locality as a cure for globalization and its dangers, in which locality appears as a constitutive, sustainable, harmonious, and originating place, prior to the technological exploitation of nature.

Through notions such as algorithmic governmentality (Rouvroy and Berns), platformisation (Bratton, Stiegler), extractivism, and the affect theory (Massumi), and following a symptomatologic method, we will try to establish and discuss some key points that could be useful in order to update certain concepts regarding micro- and biopolitics (Deleuze and Guattari, Foucault), the public sphere, and the management of social and individual bodies.Finally, we will try to understand how the manipulation of affects via the staging of possible catastrophic futures (Parisi) is used as a powerful neurosensory weapon, with performative effects for governing and modelling behaviours. If contemporary capitalism is capable of abstracting and extracting affects, of accumulating them and of creating value through this, which policies should we apply in this situation of uncertainty and of the manipulation of affectivity? Is there any place left for public institutions, or is the market the sole political actor left?

The necessity of such an operation lies in the urgency of rethinking the political dimension of locality due to its reactionary and repressive use by alt-right and fascist movements, in particular in Europe and the US. In this vein, concepts such as "polyrhythm", "metaarchipelago" (Benítez Rojo), "tidalectics" (Brathwaite), "poetics of relation", "creolization", "transnation" and "commonplace" (Glissant), become of strategic use as a way of opening up the idea of locality, which we aim to conceive precisely as a kind of social openness. Beside this conceptual reframing of locality, developed through the analysis of Benítez Rojo and Kamau Brathwaite's rhythmical concepts, the reader can find, o...

According to Thomas Berns and Antoinette Rouv- roy, a new form of power and control is emerging, "Algorithmic Governmentality", which causes several theoretical problems for earlier perspectives on politics and technology, and in which the dividual amounts to a symptom, felt by individuals as an an-aesthetization of both sensibility and thinking (Montani). Taking care of this symptom means taking care of the whole of contempor- ary philosophy and its "process of individuation" (Simondon). The article, which starts from Montani's last works on bio-aesthetics, aims to describe the relationships between Berns and Rouvroy's theory and Stiegler's analysis of what he calls "Automatic Society",...

A model of Anthropocene The Anthropocene, as defective concept, is an ambiguous notion questioning not only a type of humanity, but also geopolitical inequalities, economic issues and social relations. Beyond all the possibilities of redefinition, related to its origins, causes and consequences, we propose here to take into account the politics of Donald Trump as a symptom, one that take place in the city as the theatre of an Urban Anthropocene.

In order to develop such a diagnosis, A Thousand Plateaus has been treated as a particular milieu of desire, conceived following Deleuze's instructions on how to read Nietzschean texts, that is to machining the text with the reactive and active forces that affect it from outside. Within such a perspective, the outside of the book is constituted by the forces organized by digital capitalism, and through a reading of some critical thinkers (Rouvroy, Lazzarato, Berardi, Stiegler, Crary) the paper attempts to show how such forces are short-circuiting elements of Deleuze & Guattari's micropolitics. Far from denouncing a sort of weakness in A Thousand Plateaus, this diagnosis suggests that we continue the writing of this book, by differentiating its contents, that is to say, by develop...

Seguendo Neyrat, scopriamo che non si tratta in realtà di un discorso unitario, quanto piuttosto di una tendenza che sembra attraversare e tenere insieme diverse linee filosofiche, economiche e scientifiche, e che egli riassume nell'appellativo comune di geo-costruttivismo.

Questa nozione è dunque anche un concetto polemico e interdisciplinare. I saggi qui raccolti, composti da filosofi e studiosi impegnati da anni nella discussione critica dell’Antropocene, offrono gli elementi per una nuova immagine del pensiero, orientata verso un’inedita relazione tra tecnologia, ambiente e legami sociali: un futuro da costruire, un altro mondo pensabile.

Nietzsche e la politica accelerazionista in Deleuze, Foucault, Guattari, Klossowski” prende le mosse da un oscuro frammento di Nietzsche - I forti dell’avvenire - incastonato nel celebre passaggio dell’“accelerare il processo” situato nel punto cruciale di una delle opere filosofiche più dirompenti del secolo scorso: L’anti-Edipo di Deleuze e Guattari. Nell’antologia assemblata da Obsolete Capitalism a partire da Nietzsche emerge ciò che si potrebbe definire “accelerazionismo pulsionale” oppure accelerazionismo quantico che si esprime tramite una nuova politica di corpi, onde e forze e il cui rapporto con la «tecnologia» è mediato dal bricolage e dal do-it-yourself, dunque dalla «strada» e dalla «sperimentazione».
Ciò che passa non è un progetto, ma un’intensità, un campo di forze trasmettibili grazie a un contagio intermittente di onde pulsionali in continua propagazione. Si tratta di un’informe e deviata koinè, politica e artistica allo stesso tempo, una sorta di lingua franca urbana senza codici che attraversa il tempo ripetendosi nella variazione, grazie a comunità artistiche sediziose e irregolari il cui tratto distintivo è la differenziazione. Una koinè innumerevole, che porta ad un nuovo infinito, incommensurabile, ritmico.

The urgency with which our daily lives call for alternatives-both materially and vitally-is in fact without precedent. Yet it is precisely through this articulation between consciousness and its projects, on the one hand, and our intimate animal existence, on the other, that we can start to create[/compose] a collective becoming. This is perhaps the most important lesson Deleuze taught us. What connects us today, globally, is that we are all currently questioning and redefining what in life is useful, essential, necessary, and inalienable. The ease and speed with which all these notions have been rethought globally forces us to consider the following double headed theorem. Firstly, as philosophers of biopolitics have correctly pointed out, on the socio-anthropological plane nothing is immune to the invocation of a state of exception, according to which all preventative measures can be implemented in the name of survival. Secondly, and parallel to this (albeit also in a way opposed), the fear of death comes to take the place of the struggle for survival, a fear that Bataille had precisely defined in terms of the dissolution of the real and of its stability. Following this second line of analysis further, that of an anthropology of fear (as Bataille put it), we discover a radical critique of utility, a falsehood tied to capitalist notions of acquisition and conservation. The inalienable and unproductive dimension of expenditure-that of the dissolution of the order of things-reveals to us the paradoxical foundations and functioning of this order, which is to say of consciousness. By objectifying and traumatically separating itself from the real (and from the real subject), the constituted subject attributes a transcendent status to these illusory socio-politico-economic objects (Law, State, Capital) that only exist relative to itself (and vice versa). On the basis of this movement, the ego which lies at the heart of any genealogy-'as unreal as it is the origin in a Cartesian space' (Bourdieu)-recognises

Thus what politics is exempt from an appeal to leitmotifs or patterns, equally aural and visual, specific to each epoch and by which it manipulates them? One’s ability to analyse these relationships undoubtedly depends on one’s ability to resist being caught up in the game’s apparent simplicity. To do so, one must disregard the appearance of immediacy designed to interpellate and subjugate (through order-words) those to whom this appearance is targeted. But to analyse this, and in order to make it conceptually visible, one must keep one’s distance from the propensity of every politician to re-imagine the facts of a given epoch, by means of masked artifices that are both historical and geographic. For the purposes of such an analysis , it may be useful to draw on Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari who formed the concept of the refrain [Ritornello, Ritournelle] (Deleuze and Guattari, 1980, 1991. Guattari, 1979). When properly understood, this concept is irreducible to its reactionary and reterritorialising anti-democratic uses (Dantec, 2001; Rancière, 2005), inviting us to flee from received ideas about music, war and the earth, whether in terms of class (Lazzarato, 2014), of race (Bona, 2016) or of gender (Ronell, 2002).

Dans son rapport aux faits, quelle politique peut donc se dire exempte d’un recours à des leitmotivs ou patterns, tant visuels qu’auditifs, propres à chaque époque et par lesquels elle les manipule ? Toute la difficulté dans l’analyse d’un tel rapport repose sans doute sur la capacité à ne pas se laisser prendre au jeu de son apparente simplicité. Analyser la revendication d’un rapport direct aux faits, c’est se déprendre de son apparence d’immédiateté destinée à mobiliser, sur le mode de l’identification et de l’obéissance à des mots d’ordres, celles et ceux auxquels elle s’adresse. Mais c’est, par là même, chercher à mettre à distance, pour la rendre conceptuellement visible, la propension qu’a toute politique à se figurer, au moyen d’artifices tout en le masquant, les faits d’une époque donnée, historiquement et géographiquement située. Dans cette perspective, il revient à Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari d’avoir formé un concept de ritournelle susceptible d’être utile aux fins d’une telle analyse (Deleuze, Guattari; 1980, 1991. Guattari; 1979). Irréductible à ses usages reterritorialisant réactionnaires et antidémocratiques (Dantec; 2001. Rancière; 2005), ce concept bien compris invite à fuir les idées reçues sur la musique, la guerre et la terre, tant en termes de classe (Lazzarato; 2014), de race (Bona; 2016) que de genre (Ronell; 2002).

In effetti, e nel suo rapporto con i fatti, quale politica potrebbe dichiararsi esente dal ricorso a leitmotivs o patterns propri di ciascun’epoca, tanto visivi quanto auditivi, come strumento della loro manipolazione? Tutte le difficoltà nell’analisi di tale rapporto risiedono senza dubbio nella capacità di non lasciarsi ingannare dalla sua apparente semplicità. Analizzare la rivendicazione di un rapporto diretto coi fatti corrisponde al liberarsi dalla loro apparente immediatezza, destinata a mobilizzare, grazie al suo incidere sul piano dell’identificazione e dell’adesione a parole d’ordine, coloro ai quali si rivolge. Ma è anche, allo stesso tempo, il tentativo di mettere a distanza, al fine di renderla concettualmente visibile, la propensione di ogni politica a figurarsi, attraverso artifici di mascheramento, i fatti di una data epoca così come storicamente e geograficamente situati. In questa prospettiva, si riconosce a Deleuze e Guattari il merito di aver formato un concetto di ritornello utile ai fini di tale analisi (Deleuze, Guattari; 1980, 1991. Guattari; 1979). Irriducibile ai suoi utilizzi riterritorializzanti, reazionari e antidemocratici (Dantec; 2001. Rancière; 2005), tale concetto, se compreso in profondità, invita a fuggire le idee prestabilite tanto sulla musica, quanto sulla guerra e sulla stessa terra, sia in termini di classe (Lazzarato; 2014), che di razza (Touam Bona; 2016) e di genere (Ronell; 2002).

In this special issue, La Deleuziana would like to pursue this hypothesis by integrating into new questions arising from the philosophical and ecological literature on the Anthropocene. With the advent of the Anthropocene in philosophical discourse, conceptual work needs to be done to rethink and extend the relation between the earth and thought, a new ecological thought that neither fetishises nature nor simply cancels it out of the equation. Geopower would be the alternative concept to think not of the age of the human (Anthropocene) but the birth of new powers that attack the strata. Nature is a battlefield composed of geophysical, geohistorical, geoeconomic, geophilosophical and geo-fictional forces. We lack a critique of geocapitalism.

The term immediately implied a question not just of beginnings but of endings: the advent of something that would also be an encounter with limits, in the first place ecological, but also economic, political, technological and conceptual. Nevertheless, what seems to have no limits, is the life of this very term: it has disseminated and gathered ground well beyond the scientific fields to which it is most immediately relevant. This may be viewed as a conquest of intellectual territory by this geological term, but it perhaps serves more to indicate the degree to which the concept has become a site of contest rather than conquest, as scholars in every field wrestle with a term that seems lodged between prematurity and lateness, death knell, prophecy and call to arms. “Azimuth” invites researchers and scholars from philosophy, sociology, sciences, media studies, cultural studies and related disciplinary fields to contribute to the issue, by taking up one of three possible topics: [SEE FULL PDF]

First emerging from the hard sciences, during the last fifteen years the Anthropocene has been taken up widely in the social sciences, but also in the humanities and philosophy, and for a powerful reason: while at a technical or superficial level it is concerned directly with the climate change brought about by industrialization, it inevitably leads to profound issues involving the entire Western tradition. That is, it involves cruxes of thought that may have been confronted in the past, for instance through the upheavals provoked by Nietzschean thought, but which we continue to face today: in the first place the opposition between nature and culture, and then, like a cascade, the issues of anthropocentrism, ethnocentrism, androcentrism, Prometheanism, Enlightenment reason, the very idea of telos and the idea of universal history in its intrinsic relation with the Neolithic. Finally, the Anthropocene seems to call natural scientists, philosophers, economists and politicians to respond to the possibility and the necessity of thinking the future as such.

Coniato dal Nobel per la chimica Paul Crutzen nel 2000, e indicante la supposta era geologica, successiva all’Olocene, in cui l’uomo sarebbe diventato il principale fattore di trasformazione delle condizioni ambientali terrestri, l’Antropocene ha conosciuto negli ultimi quindici anni un enorme successo anche nelle scienze sociali e in filosofia.

Come ogni evento, è dovuto scorrere del tempo - e forse altro ne passerà - perché la densità e la centralità dei temi di quest'opera venissero recepiti in tutta la loro importanza. Le scosse telluriche prodotte da questa «geologia della morale» riguardano svariati ambiti della relazione tra sapere, potere e desiderio, tanto nel campo umanistico, quanto in quello scientifico, economico e politico.
L'episteme della tradizione - storica, politica, coloniale, patriarcale - viene colpita implacabilmente dal fuoco amico delle macchine da guerra filosofiche. E tra le fiamme delle immagini dogmatiche del pensiero, un rigoglio incantevole di suoni, luci, brezze, piante rizomatiche, vespe e orchidee, sciamani e animali di ogni sorta, esprime la complicità con un «popolo che manca», una comunità in divenire appena tratteggiata, che fa delle differenze e delle minoranze il cemento del domani.

This stream aims to develop a meaningful path through three of the main topics in Deleuze, from the point of view of our philosophical and political present: Life, Control, Acceleration. Through this path it will become possible to describe the adventures of Life as immanence in a way capable of dealing with both the dramatic actualizations of control societies and the anthropomorphization of the very Earth, which leads to the so-called Anthropocene as a completion of Nietzschean nihilism through hyper-industrialized capitalism. It is precisely in that " geological " era, dangerously shaped by a hegemonic model of the " human " , that a wide set of Deleuzian concepts may allow us not only to criticize the present world (as neo-liberal, polluting, cruel, anthropocentric, etc.), but to imagine a future world in which to believe, a world no longer either anthropocentric or white-western-male, as is the basis of financial totalitarianism. But in order to avoid the risk of confining Deleuze's concepts within a useless rhetorical dimension – that is, repetition without difference – these concepts must be extracted from the contingency of our reality and thrust towards the creation of new, multiple differences. From such a perspective, concepts, such as becoming, immanence, virtuality, quasi-causality, event, haecceitas, difference and nomadology, will be drawn into a constellation with a set of ongoing processes that threaten all the qualities and things most loved by Deleuze: affects, thinking, desire, singularity, animals and the Earth.

Nietzsche e la politica accelerazionista in Deleuze, Foucault, Klossowski, Guattari (Obsolete Capitalism Free Press-Rizosfera, 2016). Il testo discute le tesi del Manifesto per una politica accelerazionista di Srnicek e Williams. L’analisi critica della teoria dell’accelerazionismo verte sulla seguente domanda: è possibile applicare il costante sviluppo della techne alla soggettività umana? D’altro lato, come interpretare la proletarizzazione del General Intellect, cioè la deprivazione del sapere sociale consentita dalla governamentalità algoritmica? E ancora: che cosa è l’Antropocene se non compimento del capitalismo? Le analisi di Bernard Stiegler, Franco Berardi e di Maurizio Lazzarato ci mostrano che il cognitivismo umano è spesso impregnato da Nichilismo organologico che non sempre consente un progressivo e costante sviluppo dell’appropriazione tecnologica. Su questa biforcazione si gioca il futuro della “sinistra”. Non siamo forse, tra tanta complessità, posti di fronte all’occasione di “ripensare l’umano e l’inumano, il fuori e il dentro, l’agency e le affordances, la stessa sinistra, nonché i processi d’individuazione psichica e collettiva”?

La Terre, l’histoire et nous, edito nel 2013 per i tipi Seuil), tanto nel senso di uno shock rispetto all’umanità, quanto per ciò che concerne le risposte provenienti da discipline anche molto distanti tra loro. Coniato dal Nobel per la chimica Paul Crutzen nel 2000, e indicante la supposta era geologica, successiva all’Olocene, in cui l’uomo sarebbe diventato il principale fattore di trasformazione delle condizioni ambientali terrestri, l’Antropocene ha conosciuto negli ultimi quindici anni un enorme successo anche nelle scienze sociali e in filosofia. Se lo strato più superficiale del suo significato è direttamente connesso con il cambiamento climatico indotto dall’industrializzazione, le questioni soggiacenti riguardano, infatti, diversi nodi problematici su cui si è retta e continua a reggersi l’attitudine del pensiero occidentale, nonostante le scosse telluriche ricevute almeno da Nietzsche in poi: in primis l’opposizione tra natura e cultura e, come in un effetto a valanga, l’antropocentrismo, l’etnocentrismo, l’androcentrismo, il prometeismo, la razionalità illuministica, la stessa idea di telos e di storia universale nei suoi rapporti intrinseci con il Neolitico. In ultimo, ciò a cui l’Antropocene sembra chiamare, dagli scienziati naturali fino ai filosofi, agli economisti e alla politica, è la possibilità/necessità di pensare il futuro in quanto tale.

Ciò che passa non è un progetto, ma un’intensità, un campo di forze trasmettibili grazie a un contagio intermittente di onde pulsionali in continua propagazione. Si tratta di un’informe e deviata koinè, politica e artistica allo stesso tempo, una sorta di lingua franca urbana senza codici che attraversa il tempo ripetendosi nella variazione, grazie a comunità artistiche sediziose e irregolari il cui tratto distintivo è la differenziazione. Una koinè innumerevole, che porta ad un nuovo infinito, incommensurabile, ritmico.
