Orlando Paris"Pensare l'odio"L'umano di fronte all'estremoLuca Sossella Editorewww.lucasosselaeditore.itLa cronaca mondiale restituisce immagini di distruzione e sofferenza: un genocidio si consuma nella Striscia di Gaza sotto gli occhi della società civile internazionale; una guerra infuria alle porte dell'Europa, mentre altri conflitti insanguinano molte regioni del mondo. Allo stesso tempo, nelle democrazie occidentali, si assiste a una legittimazione pubblica del discorso d'odio: retoriche xenofobe riemergono nei linguaggi della politica, nei media e nello spazio digitale, trovando eco in movimenti che fanno dell'ostilità verso l'altro un principio identitario. Questo libro nasce dalla necessità, insieme etica e scientifica, di confrontarsi con questo scenario per renderne leggibili le logiche profonde, mettendo a fuoco l'intreccio tra odio, potere e società. Il volume dialoga con una tradizione di pensiero che, dalla metà del novecento, ha interrogato le forme storiche della disumanizzazione: da Hannah Arendt a Michel Foucault, da Giorgio Agamben a Zygmunt Bauman, fino agli sviluppi degli Hate Studies e dei Genocide Studies. Quanto emerge è un archivio concettuale capace di orientare lo sguardo sul presente e di indicare pratiche di resistenza alle sue derive estreme.Orlando Paris, professore di filosofia e teoria dei linguaggi all'Università per Stranieri di Siena. I suoi studi vertono sulle patologie del discorso pubblico – discorsi d'odio, stereotipi, infodemia – e si estendono fino al campo degli Hate Studies. Sul tema dell'odio discorsivo ha pubblicato libri e articoli scientifici.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Bart Geeaedts praat in deze podcast met Lex van der Steen over de summerschool Taal en betekenis zijn overal. Een gesprek over hoe we ons altijd via taal tot de wereld verhouden. Aan de hand van de Italiaanse filosoof Giorgio Agamben laat Van der Steen zien hoe zelfs een niet-talige wereld alleen in taal tot stand kan komen. Verder gaat het over de ervaring van taal als ding: de zuivere taal, die zichzelf telkens weer verliest omdat taal altijd ergens naar verwijst. Ook spreekt Van der Steen, aan de hand van Jacques Derrida, over de liefde als iets wat aan iedere definitieve betekenisgeving ontsnapt en daarom wezenlijk mysterieus blijft. De summerschool Taal en betekenis zijn overal is van 3 t/m 7 augustus.

This month we were delighted to be joined by a colleague from Social and Cultural Anthropology at University of Helsinki. Stefan Millar is a Social Anthropologist who specializes in the state, migration, colonialism, and infrastructures. Stefan is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care. Our conversation focused most directly on Stefan's PhD research, which examined the role of the state in the context of Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northern Kenya. Stefan has focused on the state and infrastructures within the space of the refugee camp. Stefan gives us insight into his personal trajectory and how he got interested in the long durée implications of colonialism. In his current work in Kenya, he is looking at urban infrastructures that refugees create to mitigate the end of aid (US Aid and the withdrawal of European aid), especially in relation to food and water. Stefan is interested in how people navigate this context and what alternatives they develop to continue surviving under the conditions of redistribution of aid. On the theoretical side, we talked extensively about Stefan's critique of Giorgio Agamben's state of exception. Join us for this layered and exciting conversation!Interested to learn more about Stefan's work? https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/people/people-finder/stefan-millar-9472907 Want to read Stefan's PhD dissertation? https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/files/254098602/1._EncampedStatesMillar.pdf KANERE, Kakuma based journalism:https://kanere.org/about-kakuma-refugee-camp/KRIN, network for Kakuma based refugee-led organizations:https://reframe.network/rlo/kakuma-kalobeyei-refugee-led-initiatives-kkrin

Barbara Chitussi"Paradosso della libertà"Il teatro politico di Sartre.Cronopio Edizioniwww.cronopio.itLiberato dalla prigionia nel 1941, Sartre torna a Parigi e assiste a una grandiosa messa in scena delle Supplici allo stadio Roland Garros. è una rivelazione: avrebbe scritto per il teatro e fatto del teatro il nuovo strumento di resistenza delle masse. Barbara Chitussi ricostruisce una filosofia paradossale dell'azione libera attorno all'attività teatrale che impegna Sartre negli anni dell'occupazione, anche attraverso l'analisi di documenti inediti, custoditi negli archivi parigini dei registi con cui aveva lavorato. In un contesto di guerre e violenza come quello attuale, il lettore è invitato a scoprire questo esperimento politico teatrale e il tenore “drammatico” delle parole che il filosofo aveva pronunciato nelle pagine di una rivista clandestina: “Non siamo mai stati così liberi come sotto l'occupazione tedesca”.Barbara Chitussi insegna Filosofia morale all'Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia. Ha scritto, tra gli altri, Immagine e mito. Un carteggio tra Benjamin e Adorno (2010), Lo spettacolo di sé. Filosofia della doppia personalità (2018).

Focusing on India between the early nineteenth century and the First World War, Colonial Terror explores the centrality of the torture of Indian bodies to the law-preserving violence of colonial rule and some of the ways in which extraordinary violence was embedded in the ordinary operation of colonial states. Although enacted largely by Indians on Indian bodies, particularly by subaltern members of the police, the book argues that torture was facilitated, systematized, and ultimately sanctioned by first the East India Company and then the Raj because it benefitted the colonial regime, since rendering the police a source of terror played a key role in the construction and maitenance of state sovereignty.Drawing upon the work of both Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault, Colonial Terror contends, furthermore, that it is only possible to understand the terrorizing nature of the colonial police in India by viewing colonial India as a 'regime of exception' in which two different forms of exceptionality were in operation - one wrought through the exclusion of particular groups or segments of the Indian population from the law and the other by petty sovereigns in their enactment of illegal violence in the operation of the law. It was in such fertile ground, in which colonial subjects were both included within the domain of colonial law while also being abandoned by it, that torture was able to flourish.

Bu bölümde, dijital çağın en dönüştürücü kavramlarından biri olan **"Kriptoegemenlik"**i keşfediyoruz. Satoshi Nakamoto'nun merkezi ağlara karşı P2P ağlarının gücüne dair sözlerinden ilham alan bu eşsiz güç, Michel Foucault'nun egemenlik takıntısından uzaklaşma çağrısıyla da yankılanır. Kriptoegemenlik, siberpunk'ların kriptografi araçlarını askeri sırlardan kişisel özgürlük ve ekonomik serbestlik araçlarına dönüştürerek yarattığı, geleneksel siyasi güç, yasa ve şiddet sistemlerini reddeden bir yaklaşımdır.John Perry Barlow'un "Siberuzayın Bağımsızlık Bildirgesi"nde belirtildiği gibi, Kriptoegemenlik, hükümetlerin yetki alanının dışında, bireylerin ekonomik, sosyal ve siyasi haklarını ihlal edilemez bir dijital ortak zenginliğe aktarma yeteneğidir. Bu yeni paradigmada, "kodun kendisi egemendir, istisnası yoktur". Giorgio Agamben'in "tamamen farklı stratejiler" arayışına işaret ettiği gibi, Kriptoegemenlik, Hobbes'un "otorite yasayı yapar" düsturunu tersine çevirerek, "hakikatin meşruiyet sağladığı" yeni bir sosyal sözleşme kurar. Fiziksel gücü sözleşmesel uygulamadan çıkararak, blockchain sistemleri aracılığıyla benzersiz bir egemenlik biçimi yaratılır.Bu, yalnızca bir teknolojik gelişme değil, aynı zamanda siyasi bir praksistir. Walter Benjamin'in "içinde yaşadığımız acil durumun kural olduğunu" belirten düşüncelerine dayanarak, Kriptoegemenlik, küresel faşizm ve yolsuzlukla mücadelede ekonomik gücü temel bir araç olarak görür. Fiat para sistemine ve gözetim mekanizmalarına katılmayı reddederek, bireylerin kendi varlıkları ve gizlilikleri üzerindeki kontrolü geri alması, "gerçek bir olağanüstü hal" yaratır. Bu, devletin ve bankacılık müttefiklerinin "can damarlarını" kesen devrimci bir eylemdir.Kriptoegemenliğin hedefi, şiddet döngülerini tekrarlayan yeni bir egemenlik biçimi yaratmak değil, geleneksel güç yapılarını temelden dışarıda bırakarak günümüze daha uygun, daha iyi bir sistem inşa etmektir. Bu, bireyin seçimiyle egemen kararın alındığı, kriptografik kanıtlarla kendini güvence altına alan bir sistemdir. Gelin, kodun gücüyle şekillenen bu yeni dijital özgürlük çağını ve insanoğlunun yasayla çocukların eski oyuncaklarla oynaması gibi oynayacağı, onları kanonik kullanımlarından sonsuza dek özgürleştireceği geleceği keşfedelim.Kaynak

Denis Diderot, radikální osvícenec 18. století, odhodil staré sako, které nosil celý život. Netušil, jak převratná událost to bude. V novém saku si připadal skvěle – a zároveň nepatřičně. Jeho ostatní oděvy se ve světle nového kousku zdály ošuntělé, a tak je začal jeden po druhém měnit. Nakonec došlo i na nábytek. „Byl jsem absolutním pánem svého starého saka, ale stal jsem se otrokem svého nového,“ poznamenal. Tento mechanismus známe jako Diderotův efekt: jedna koupě spustí lavinu dalších. Konzum se mění v rituál identity, ne-li v náboženství po smrti Boha. „Bůh nezemřel, proměnil se v peníze,“ říká Giorgio Agamben.Smyčka konzumu se ostatně utahuje i proto, že mnohé výrobky jsou navrhovány tak, aby dlouho nevydržely. Neustále je co obměňovat – a naše životy zaplavuje odpad. Energii vynakládáme na pořizování věcí, následně na jejich vyhazování – a jako společnost na likvidaci odpadu. Podle mnohých se však rodí odpor. Řada sociologů i filozofů upozorňuje, že zvláště některé skupiny mladých lidí se snaží odvracet od konzumního kolotoče. Proměňuje se vztah k věcem i k vlastnictví.Jednou z reakcí na nutkavé hromadění může být etika sdílení. Nejde o návrat k asketismu, ale o pokus o promyšlenou revizi: co skutečně potřebujeme vlastnit – a co lze jednoduše sdílet? Z historického hlediska to není žádná novinka. Paradoxně zrovna epikurejci ve starověku učili, že největší slast spočívá v omezení slastí, že věci je lepší sdílet než hromadit – a že i vztahy mohou být svobodnější, když nejsou sevřené majetnickou logikou.Podob sdílení dnes existuje mnoho – od komunitních zahrad po platformy jako Liftshare. Někteří v nich vidí zárodky komunismu pro 21. století. Jiné formy sdílení – například Airbnb nebo Uber – se naopak staly součástí digitálního kapitalismu. Co když ale právě tento kapitalismus, ve své touze po efektivitě a flexibilitě, nevědomky přejímá principy, které měly původně zcela jiný, možná až protikladný étos?

Earlier this month, Phil and JF recorded a live episode at Indiana University Cinema in Bloomington following a screening of John Carpenter's film In the Mouth of Madness. Carpenter's cult classic obliterates the boundary between reality and fiction, madness and revelation—an ideal subject for a Weird Studies conversation. In this episode, recorded before a live audience, the hosts explore the film's Lovecraftian themes, the porous nature of storytelling, and how art can function as a conduit to unsettling truths.

Purchase 'Biopolitics as a System of Thought' from Bloomsbury: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/biopolitics-as-a-system-of-thought-9781350412095/Our contemporary mode of life is characterised by what Serene Richards in Biopolitics as a System of Thought calls: Smart Being. Smart Being believes in the solutions of techno-capital where living is always at stake and directed to survival. Armed with this concept, this book examines how we arrived at this mode of being and asks how it could be that, while the material conditions of our lives have increasingly worsened, our capacities for effective political action, understood as the capacity for transforming our existing social relations, appear to be diminishing.Drawing from jurists and philosophers such as Pierre Legendre, Yan Thomas, Giorgio Agamben, Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, Richards argues that biopolitics intervenes at the most minute level of our everyday lives. She argues that there are conceptual truths presupposed in the mode of biopolitics' functioning, for instance that life can be assigned a value for the purpose of intervention, abandonment, or death, which have implications for our politics. In exciting engagements with political movements such as the post-May 1968 Mouvement des travailleurs Arabes (MTA), Richards shows how demands to transform our system of social relations are undermined by institutional models that proffer to offer rights protection while simultaneously annihilating the living altogether. Through a reappraisal of law, governance and capital, Richards seeks to reconceptualise our collectivity of thought, arguing for a politics of destitution that could form the basis of a communism to come.Support the Show.Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastZer0 Books and Repeater Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterMerch: http://www.crit-drip.comOrder 'Anti-Oculus: A Philosophy of Escape': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/anti-oculus-a-philosophy-of-escape/Order 'The Philosopher's Tarot': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/169wvvhiHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

1. In his sermon, Cole taught about Giorgio Agamben's understanding of sacredness. He described it, in part, as something that can make us recoil in uneasiness because of its set-apartness. He gave the example of pastors telling people at parties what they do for work - only to have people respond with less than enthusiastic interest. What is conjured up in your mind as you consider this understanding of sacredness? Does it ring true for you in some ways? Or not as much? What examples can you identify in the world in which you operate?2. Even if we haven't experienced it ourselves, most of us know stories of people who've gone from lives with some measure of status, access, prominence, and reputation to lives where subsistence is the primary hallmark. What thoughts & feelings come to mind when you contemplate this type of personal story? What types of futures do you envision for people with that type of reversal of fortune in their lives? What unconscious assumptions or ideas might be lurking around the edges of your mind as you consider?(2b) Now zoom out to consider cultures, subcultures, and people groups that have, through long (or short) arcs of history moved collectively from places of rights and privilege to positions in which they're seen more as things than people by those with power. What examples come to mind? How similar or dissimilar are your internal responses when considering people groups rather than individuals? What observations might you make about how these two different types of examples can impact our perceptions of and expectations for these people? What else do you notice?3. Toward the close of his sermon, Cole talked about his wish that we can continue to form Redemption Church into a place to which others turn when seeking refuge. When & how have you experienced RC as a place of refuge - for yourself and/or for others? If RC as a place of refuge doesn't resonate for you, what would it look like for a church to be a place that feels like refuge from your personal vantage point? How prominent is this idea in your own conception of RC and/or churches in general? Why do you think that is? In what ways do you see yourself as a part of creating safety and refuge in the Redemption community? To what degree does that translate to other spaces in your life? Why do you think that is?

Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben with his concept of biopolitics is our guide. We realize that this has been an incredibly painful set of issues for many of you to even attempt to discuss, so we try to model a way of talking about without rancor even while calling it like we see it.

Sean Hannan offers a new interpretation of Augustine of Hippo's approach to temporality by contrasting it with contemporary accounts of time drawn from philosophy, political theology, and popular science. Hannan argues that, rather than offering us a deceptively simple roadmap forward, Augustine asks us to face up to the question of time itself before we take on tasks like transforming ourselves and our world. Augustine discovered that the disorientation we feel in the face of change is a symptom of a deeper problem: namely, that we cannot truly comprehend time, even while it conditions every facet of our lives. On Time, Change, History, and Conversion (Bloomsbury, 2020) puts Augustine into creative conversation with contemporary thinkers, from Pierre Hadot and Giorgio Agamben to Steven Pinker and Stephen Hawking, on questions such as the definition of time, the metaphysics of transformation, and the shape of history. The goal is to learn what Augustine can teach us about the nature of temporality and the possibility of change in this temporal world of ours. Learn more about your ad choices.
