Está difícil imaginar como vamos fazer os desertos engasgarem-se de novo com as marés. Parecemos estar reduzidos a uma política em migalhas, política apenas concebida como mecanismo de substituição do real por ficções, mesmo porque, como assinalava Enrique Lihn, "nada é suficientemente real para um fantasma", e são apenas fantasmas aquilo que produz este mundo sucessivamente diluído que nos é posto diante dos olhos pelos ecrãs, de tal modo que não falta muito até que mesmo a palavra "homem" passe a ser ouvida com suspeita, ferindo as narinas delicadas de quem prefere esse onirismo maquínico. Não houve mais notícia dos tais grupúsculos enraivecidos que faziam do seu desespero um elemento de combate. No abalo insípido das visões propagadas no reino digital, hoje, são cada vez mais aqueles tomados de uma esperança bolorenta, aqueles que se oferecem para desposar a noiva fascista, num romantismo vivido até às fezes. Com esta virulência mundializada da questão nacional, e o recrudescimento dos orgulhos de facção, quem não tem deus vê-se a vaguear por territórios tomados pelo fervor que inspiram os mais imbecis líderes de culto, com o seu messianismo descocado que baptiza os ressentidos em novos convertidos às religiões de salvação. Entretanto, as pontes para outro lugar, para ilhas de realidade foram cortadas. Resta-nos viver como náufragos entre este bando de zelotas. Os poucos ecos que nos alcançam, como murmúrios de outro mundo, animam por instantes esses êxtases fugitivos da História. São algumas vozes presas em idiomas que em breve serão proibidos e que ainda nos trazem alguma frescura: "Após o colapso da nossa civilização, ou ela perecerá completamente, como as civilizações antigas, ou adaptar-se-á a um mundo descentralizado", escreve Simone Weil. "A nossa época destruiu a hierarquia interna; como é que pode permitir que a hierarquia social, que não passa de uma imagem grotesca dela, sobreviva? Não podíamos ter nascido numa época melhor do que esta, em que tudo se perdeu." Antes que o homem deixe de ter qualquer significado, podemos antecipar como muito em breve mesmo o nosso sono estará sob vigilância, e, para efeitos de cura e de terapia há-de haver prescrições de sonhos guiados pelas máquinas. Em lugar de descidas ao inferno, seremos revistados no própio inconsciente, isto se não formos simplesmente dizimados. Só quando dormimos é que ainda somos minimamente livres. De resto, como já alguns notaram, a comunicação tornou-se atmosférica. O excesso de estímulos impede que assimilemos sequer as informações que nos são vitais, e às tantas nem sabemos distinguir umas das outras, de tanto estarmos envoltos nesta segunda realidade. De repente, mesmo as nossas memórias gaguejam, sabemos isto e aquilo sem nos lembrarmos de onde veio essa noção, relato ou imagem. As fontes confundem-se, evaporam-se. Somos acossados, e não há filtro suficientemente potente para escaparmos a todo este fogo cruzado. "A demência é sistémica", diz-nos Bifo Berardi, "não patológica: tem vindo a alastrar-se desde que a aceleração do estímulo neural começou a produzir efeitos de pânico e depressão. E tem gradualmente tornado impossível o pensamento sequencial, crítico, racional, ou apenas razoável. Por esta razão, a demência deve ser o principal objecto da nossa atenção teórica, analítica e política, mesmo que eu não pense que exista uma possibilidade de a remediar. O ritmo da infosfera não pode ser abrandado de forma alguma, porque o cérebro humano está agora dependente dele e não pode tolerar uma redução da intensidade do neuro-estímulo. De qualquer modo, já é demasiado tarde: a demência já produziu o seu mundo." Todo este contexto absorve-nos e reproduz em nós os mesmos impulsos nervosos, entre a irritação e as contracções de alguém dominado por essa síndrome de Tourette epocal, ou, noutras alturas, desfeito, num estado de catatonia. Neste episódio juntou-se a nós Luís Bernardo, um tipo que arrasta num saco de batatas a História, aos tombos todo o caminho, cuspindo injúrias em múltiplas línguas, alguém que atira com ela para cima de qualquer mesa onde esteja aberto um mapa como um tabuleiro de jogo para os generais de estúdio de televisão fazerem aquela fita de grandes senhores, um tipo que tem um candeeiro aceso na última janela e estuda pela noite fora as intimidades da guerra.

Diego Genoud (@otro_periodista) charló con Franco "Bifo" Berardi, escritor y filósofo italiano, sobre el Europa, el fascismo, la muerte de occidente y las trampas que hay que evitar.

This one is deep so see tons of explanatory resources below. The philosophy talk turns to political talk (easier to grok) after about 15 minutes, but the philosophical context adds a lot of richness to the latter conversation. Patricia MacCormack is driving productive tension between philosophy and political action. Her Ahuman Manifesto is strongly recommended, even to those who may take issue with it in principle (anti-natalism! anti-idpol! anti-human!), because it makes a forceful argument for a politics based in empathy and care as applied to everyone and every thing. Core concepts you might not be familiar with:Posthumanism — if you recall, a kind of running theme of the podcast is "posthumanism is kinda sus.” As a philosophical stance, it means an expansion of categories of agency and vitality, thought and creativity, to forces beyond the mere human. Rosi Braidotti (Patricia MacCormack's PhD advisor) was one of the first major forces in this field, and Patricia has written extensively on it as well (see her Posthuman Ethics). In practice, of course, posthumanism gets confused pretty quickly — Reza kicks off the first episode of the pod with a brutal critique that Patricia sustains here: many people tend to use posthumanism to advance a kind of hard anthropocentrism applied to everything, a way of accidentally inflating the human all the way out to the cosmic level. It's likely good to critique anthropocentrism at all scales, but it is a very challenging thing to do in practice without carrying out what Reza calls “inflation”, assigning anthropogenic models to everything from fish to stones to electromagnetism. E.g. "my politics include this rock" turns pretty quickly to "this rock has some vital characteristics I'm imposing upon it through my own human gaze."Transhumanism — kind of reversal of the posthuman project. Think Neuralink, human cloning, or dramatic surgical alterations. Transhumanism is humanism transcended, the human project continues but with greater veracity, constructed to conquer the future. A nice quote, per the Xenofeminist Manifesto (not quite a transhumanist project but also not not one) is "if nature is unjust, change nature." If the human as presently understood is insufficiently capable to handle its futures, change the human, make it live longer, act more efficiently, move faster.Asemiosis — the absence or breakdown of traditional semiotic processes, where signs cease to function within the established systems of meaning. This is what happens when we operate within a superabundance of signs and references on massive scales. Don't worry about this one too much.Potestas to Potentia — lmao ok. Potestas in Spinoza refers to the word “power” as we most often understand it, authority, domination, or control. Power OVER. Potentia, on the other hand, refers to power as an intrinsic capacity or potential within an individual or entity. The, uh, power within… so to speak. (Michel Serres concept of “grace”, that MacCormack refers to occasionally, is similar to potential). It's a nice way to think about power without the coercive connotations.Irigaray “letting be” / Serres “stepping aside” — many people have theorized political inaction as a type of action. Check out Bifo Berardi's latest interview on Acid Horizon where he talks about “defection" so sickkkk. This doesn't mean doing nothing, but rather not doing (opting out).Knowledge — this isn't as hard as it comes across. Patricia is basically attacking the need for us to know each other to help each other, to understand each other in order to have empathy for each other. Why? Well, understanding requires communication, which means that information is moving through protocols (e.g. language, digitization, facial expressions, etc…) that are always already encoded with power.Difference — also not so bad! What is difference? You and I are different! Everything is different. For many postmodern philosophers, you can reverse that statement into “difference is everything.” And once you start to think of difference as constructive stuff, well, the world gets quite interesting. For people like Patricia MacCormack, difference is probably a good thing and forces that move to hide, cloak, or suppress difference are probably bad.Art — not what you think art is in this context, like a "painting" for example. Instead, it's an encounter with the unknown, a way of communicating without understanding (this follows from Maurice Blanchot's theories of art as event, which one can also find in a different but not unrelated way in the writings of Alain Badiou, who believes that art is a specific kind of truth different from scientific truth or political truth).HMU via @dis.integrator if I can help with this one.

First - come to our book launch, hosted by our friends at Foreign Objekt and organized by Sepideh Majidi. Dec 9 at 9AM Pacific: https://www.foreignobjekt.com/post/choreomata-book-launch-panel-ai-as-mass-performance. Since both Roberto and Marek are traveling this week, we're doing something a little different this time — Marek put together a solo-cast. Marek and Roberto wrote the opening chapter of Choreomata, a thought-experiment about what happens to subjective experience when it is fully subcontracted out by the various routines of datafication and computation that comprise contemporary digital society. Academics and researchers constantly worry about the extent to which we are constructing AI in our own image, but in reality the reverse feels truer: we are constructing ourselves according to machine protocols. This episode goes ham into a conjecture from the chapter: what if we have also overinscribed our own image onto capitalism? We propose a weird fever-dream in which the opposite is true: what if capitalism is detaching, lifting off, and departing from the immediate sphere of human events? A pretty long reference list:Anil Bawa-Cavia's Logiciel brings a sledgehammer to contemporary computation, illuminating the ideological presuppositions and logical incoherencies at its core.Nick Land's Machinic Desire inspires the piece, with its provocation that capitalism is an AI sent from the future.This piece gets extremely playful with some of Reza Negarestani's work, which should be read on its own — especially “Drafting the Inhuman: Conjectures on Capitalism and Organic Necrocracy” and “Solar Inferno and the Earthbound Abyss.” Seriously amazing pieces.It also plays liberally with Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus — it's worth noting that D&G's beliefs about capitalism change quite a bit after this particular piece, but it stands as a major work of 20th century social theory.As in a previous podcast, this episode owes a lot of its frameworking to Tiziana Terranova's Free Labor: Producing Culture of the Digital Economy. And listen to our recent podcast with this hero of ours -- Episode 2!On social reproduction and reproductive labor, we recommend Bognia Konor's Automate the Womb: Ecologies and Technologies of Reproduction, Sarah Elsie Baker's Post-work Futures and Full Automation: Towards a Feminist Design Methodology, and the entire corpus of Helen Hester's visionary work.Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth cleaved our world in two -- a major piece of anticolonial theory and critical race theory that undergirds our assertion that when we talk about capitalism, we are often talking about a very specific, bourgeois, Western experience.On the economic side, Suhail Malik's Ontology of Finance is a must-read, as is Bifo Berardi's “After the Economy”.Finally, we want to shout out the artist, thinker, Redditor Nina Rajcic who we dialogued with about some of these ideas with us at Sensilab Prato this year. We hope to have her on a future ep!Enjoy this little bit of self-indulgence! We'll be back soon with an episode featuring one of our biggest influences, Luciana Parisi (hopefully next week, depending on our travel schedule).

I went to the island of Vís in Croatia to talk with visionary philosopher, author, and organizer Srećko Horvat about living a good life in the midst of madness, and his new project (with Bifo Berardi and Pamela Anderson), the Island School of Social Autonomy.

“Artists talk a lot about freedom. So, recalling the expression “free as a bird,” Morton Feldman went to a park one day and spent some time watching our feathered friends. When he came back, he said, ‘You know? They’re not free: they’re fighting over bits of food.’” — John Cage The spekwork longfrom social media account tackles bullshit jobs, the force that the PMC (professional managerial class) exerts over the arts, the oversubscription of cultural labour markets and Julian Glander’s Art Sqool.

I talk with one of the most important philosophers of our time, Franco "Bifo" Berardi, about the end of political resistance, poetry, meditation, magic, capitalism, socialism...really, you name it and we go there.

e-flux journal editorial assistant Andreas Petrossiants speaks to Franco “Bifo” Berardi following his recent texts “(Sensitive) Consciousness and Time: Against the Transhumanist Utopia” in issue 98, and “Game Over” in issue 100. Franco Berardi, aka “Bifo,” founder of the famous Radio Alice in Bologna and an important figure in the Italian Autonomia movement, is a writer, media theorist, and social activist. His most recent books are Breathing: Chaos and Poetry (Semiotexte, 2018) and The Second Coming (Polity, 2019).

Esta semana, los cosmopoditas terminan la segunda temporada con una nueva ronda de respuestas a preguntas de los oyentes. En el programa, entre otras preguntas: ¿qué conexiones hay entre Bifo Berardi y el antropoceno?, ¿qué pensamos de las pelis de Malick después del Árbol de la vida?, ¿Axel logró convencer a Javier de hacerse vegetariano? y, sobre todo, ¿cuál de las películas de Marvel será la Flauta Mágica del siglo XXI? Una hora y siete minutos de programa, porque no nos extrañen durante estos meses.

Esta semana, los cosmopoditas consideran las perspectivas abiertas hacia el futuro. Primero, comentan el ensayo “Futurabilidad”, en el que el filósofo italiano Bifo Berardi intenta, a partir de un diagnóstico de la actualidad, ver cuáles son los futuros posibles inscriptos en el presente. Luego, van a la ópera para ver “Los troyanos”, de Héctor Berlioz, en una puesta en escena de Dmitri Tcherniakov que instala a la Eneida en un paisaje contemporáneo, desafía la solemnidad del género y fastidia a los habitués, que manotean sus silbatos para protestar.

Edición “El Contra” con: Fenomenología del fin: sensibilidad y mutación conectiva (Franco Berardi, Caja Negra 2017) / Camusxplotaition/ Actores que escriben /Interlunio, interludio (Ercole Lissardi, Sorjchi, 1998, revisada en 2018)

Franco “Bifo” Berardi discusses his new book, Futurability, with editor Federico Campagna. Renowned Italian Marxist theorist and activist “Bifo” Berardi talks about political impotence, the tool of humiliation and the victory of Donald Trump, his experience coming of age in '68, and why we are drawn to the concept of populism in the current political moment. Stuck between global war and global finance, between identity and capital, we seem incapable of producing the radical change that is so desperately needed. Meanwhile the struggle for dominance over the world is a battlefield with only two protagonists: the forces of neoliberalism on one side, and the new order led by the likes of Trump and Putin on the other. How can we imagine a new emancipatory vision, capable of challenging the deadlock of the present? Is there still a way to disentangle ourselves from a global order that shapes our politics as well as our imagination? Overcoming the temptation to give in to despair or nostalgia, Berardi proposes the notion of ‘futurability’ as a way to remind us that even within the darkness of our current crisis a better world lies dormant.
