Summary:
This early Tiqqun text has lost none of its pertinence. ''The Cybernetic Hypothesis'' presents a genealogy of our “technical” present that doesn't point out the political and ethical dilemmas embedded in it as if they were puzzles to be solved, but rather unmasks an enemy force to be engaged and defeated. Cybernetics in this context is the ''teknê'' of threat reduction,(...)

''The Cybernetic Hypothesis'' presents a genealogy of our “technical” present that doesn't point out the political and ethical dilemmas embedded in it as if they were puzzles to be solved, but rather unmasks an enemy force to be engaged and defeated. Cybernetics in this context is the ''teknê'' of threat reduction, which unfortunately has required the reduction of a disturbing humanity to packets of manageable information. Not so easily done. Not smooth. A matter of civil war, in fact. According to the authors, cybernetics is the latest master fable, welcomed at a certain crisis juncture in late capitalism. And now the interesting question is: Has the guest in the house become the master of the house?

Fruit de l’activisme et de l’idéalisme d’une jeunesse révoltée, elle a pris forme en quelques années sous l’action des beatniks, Diggers, Merry Pranksters, hippies, Hell’s Angels, artistes et de toutes les tribus du San Francisco psychédélique qui aspirent à bien plus que le traditionnel peace and love caricaturé par les médias. Ils défendent entre autres la liberté, la gratuité, la spiritualité, l’autonomie et la solidarité, dans la perspective d’un monde plus juste et harmonieux. De leurs imaginations est né un monde qui continue de propager aujourd’hui ses initiatives contre le système dominant, proposant des alternatives, notamment l’écologie, face à l’individualisme forcené.

Summary:
Byung-Chul Han is one of the most widely read philosophers in Europe today, a member of the new generation of German thinkers that includes Markus Gabriel and Armen Avanessian. In "The agony of Eros", a bestseller in Germany, Han considers the threat to love and desire in today’s society. For Han, love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other. In a world of fetishized individualism and technologically mediated social interaction, it is the Other that is eradicated, not the self. In today’s increasingly narcissistic society, we have come to look for love and desire within the “inferno of the same.” Han offers a survey of the threats to Eros, drawing on a wide range of sources—Lars von Trier’s film Melancholia, Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, Fifty Shades of Grey, Michel Foucault (providing a scathing critique of Foucault’s valorization of power), Martin Buber, Hegel, Baudrillard, Flaubert, Barthes, Plato, and others. Han considers the “pornographication” of society, and shows how pornography profanes eros; addresses capitalism’s leveling of essential differences; and discusses the politics of eros in today’s “burnout society.” To be dead to love, Han argues, is to be dead to thought itself.

Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology, and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?

Accueillir la puissance du geste mineur à modeler les relations, accueillir sa capacité à ouvrir de nouveaux modes d'expérience et de nouvelles modalités d'expression, c'est défier la dévaluation que l'image neurotypique de l'humain inflige aux modes d'être alternatifs, qui sont mus par le monde et qui s'y meuvent – notamment ce qu'Erin Manning appelle « la perception autistique ». En s'appuyant sur la schizo-analyse de Deleuze et Guattari et sur le pragmatisme spéculatif de Whitehead, les analyses profondes de Manning embrassent aussi bien la mode que la dépression, en passant par les écritures d'autistes, affirmant à chaque fois la neurodiversité du mineur et la politique alternative vers laquelle il tend.
