Download or read book After the Internet written by Tiziana Terranova and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the internet's transformation from communication tool to computational infrastructure. The internet is no more. If it still exists, it does so only as a residual technology, still effective in the present but less intelligible as such. After nearly two decades and a couple of financial crises, it has become the almost imperceptible background of today’s Corporate Platform Complex (CPC)—a pervasive planetary technological infrastructure that meshes communication with computation. In the essays collected in this book, written mostly between the mid-2000s and the late 2010s, Tiziana Terranova bears witness to this monstrous transformation. Mobilizing theories of cognitive capitalism, neo-monadology, and sympathetic cooperation, considering ideas such as the attention economy and its psychopathologies, and evoking the relation between algorithmic automation and the Common, she provides real-time takes on the mutations that have changed the technological, cultural, and economic ethos of the Internet. Mostly conceived, elaborated, and discussed in collective activist spaces, After the Internet is neither apocalyptic lamentation nor melancholic “rise and fall” story of betrayed great expectations. On the contrary, it looks within the folds of the recent past to unfold the potential futurities that the post-digital computational present still entails.
Download or read book Le ali degli angeli written by Gigliola Ferrucci and published by Sogno Edizioni. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il presente testo affronta il tema dell’Angelologia studiando la Cabalà, le lettere ebraiche che compongono il nome di ognuno dei 72 Angeli e proponendo una spiegazione del carattere, dei talenti e dei difetti appartenenti a tutte le persone nate sotto l’influenza di ogni Angelo specifico. Inoltre ci sono capitoli introduttivi e di spiegazione sui Fiori di Bach, Fiori Australiani, Pietre, Aromaterapia e colori in quanto rimedi consigliati per creare un collegamento diretto con la propria energia Angelica specifica. Questi rimedi hanno la capacità, se usati in sinergia tra loro e con l’intenzione profonda della persona, di eliminare tutte quelle ostruzioni energetiche, psicologiche ed emotive che impediscono di contattare il flusso di energia del proprio Angelo, precludendo così le possibilità di sviluppo più profonde della persona.
Download or read book Italian Thought Today written by Lorenzo Chiesa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection provides English readers with a critical update on current debates on biopolitics in and around Italian thought. More than a decade after the publication of seminal books such as Agamben’s Homo Sacer and Hardt and Negri’s Empire, the names of, among others, Roberto Esposito, Paolo Virno, Christian Marazzi, and Andrea Fumagalli have recently been brought to the attention of Anglophone scholars and political activists. Several authors have rightly emphasised the evanescent character of biopolitics, and the difficulty in providing a definition of it that could embrace all the conflicting theories of its most celebrated critics and supporters. The present collection is structured around the basic contention that bio-economy, human nature, and Christianity are the three visible contemporary manifestations of the theoretical object/problem of biopolitics in, respectively, Italian post-workerist economics, post-Marxist philosophical anthropology, and post-structuralist ontology. This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.
Download or read book Precariat Labour Work and Politics written by Matthew Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his recent work, Guy Standing has identified a new class which has emerged from neo-liberal restructuring with, he argues, the revolutionary potential to change the world: the precariat. This, according to Standing, is ‘a class-in-the-making, internally divided into angry and bitter factions’ consisting of ‘a multitude of insecure people, living bits-and-pieces lives, in and out of short-term jobs, without a narrative of occupational development, including millions of frustrated educated youth..., millions of women abused in oppressive labour, growing numbers of criminalised tagged for life, millions being categorised as "disabled" and migrants in their hundreds of millions around the world. They are denizens; they have a more restricted range of social, cultural, political and economic rights than citizens around them’. This present book explores the nature, shape and context of precariat, evaluating the internal consistency and applications of the concept. Demonstrating the sheer breadth and depth of application, the chapters cover a wide-range of topics, from the relationships between precariat and authoritarianism, multitude (another concept to achieve popular consciousness), and place as well as the nature of precarious identities and subjectivities among those working in immaterial labour. The book concludes with a reply by Standing to reviews of Precariat. This book was published as a special issue of Global Discourse.

Download or read book The SAGE Handbook of Marxism written by Beverley Skeggs and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 1684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has witnessed a resurgence of interest in Marxism both within and without the academy. Marxian frameworks, concepts and categories continue to be narratively relevant to the features and events of contemporary capitalism. Most crucially, an attention to shifting cultural conditions has lead contemporary researchers to re-confront some classical and essential Marxist concepts, as well as elaborating new critical frameworks for the analysis of capitalism today. The SAGE Handbook of Marxism showcases this cutting-edge of today’s Marxism. It advances the debate with essays that rigorously map and renew the concepts that have provided the groundwork and main currents for Marxist theory, and showcases interventions that set the agenda for Marxist research in the 21st century. A rigorous and challenging collection of scholarship, this book contains a stunning range of contributions from contemporary academics, writers and theorists from around the world and across disciplines, invaluable to scholars and graduate students alike.

Download or read book Precarity within the Digital Age written by Birte Heidkamp and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with precarity within the digital age and focuses on media change and social insecurity. Change arising from digital developments takes place on micro-, meso- and meta-levels and have always social implications. Concepts such as Social Media, eHealth and Digital Capitalism, Informational Capitalism and Social Exclusion, Digital Globalization and Motility frame the social dynamics and implications of changes in digital media. These changes evoke a double precarity or stable unstability: Social practices throughout the diverse societal fields are questioned through the media change which leads to a digital age. The ongoing media change requires new social practices – what evokes precarity as an ongoing insecurity how to face the `new digital world ́.As a socio-economic phenomenon and effect of neoliberal policy precarity changes life planning and self-narrations of the affected individuals. Precarity and neoliberal subjection-processes manifest in the digital age and are performatively re-produced by the way new media are used.

Book excerpt: Licia ha 53 anni, vive sola in una casa dell’Ente Case di Ferrara dove ancora è ammalata e lotta ogni giorno per sopravvivere. Dopo aver cominciato a scrivere la sua storia come terapia, sotto consiglio della sua dottoressa, si è ritrovata a pensare che la sua testimonianza sarebbe stata una fonte di riflessione e un forte spunto di conoscenza. Perché i depressi non sono dei matti, come molti dicono, sono persone che vogliono essere semplicemente aiutate. Lei, che di queste persone ne ha conosciute tante, troppe, sa che molte, troppe, non vengono aiutate. In questo libro Licia racconta la sua infanzia infelice in collegio, senza una vera famiglia e senza un padre, la sua giovinezza trascorsa alla perenne ricerca di un qualcosa che le desse una esistenza serena, mentre si impelagava in diversi guai, poi il matrimonio, che sembrava perfetto, e l’attesa spasmodica di un figlio che non arrivava e che a un certo punto smise di ricercare, infine, per cause infinite, il sopraggiungere della depressione in forma grave, di cui ancora oggi si sa ben poco, e sulla quale c’è scarsa informazione. Nel frattempo Licia ha tentato due volte il suicidio, ha debellato un tumore al seno, ha lasciato suo marito e con una forza straordinaria sta cercando di riappropriarsi della sua vita. Con la voglia di scaricare dalle spalle tutto il peso che si porta da anni, dopo tante sofferenze e delusioni, dopo interminabili momenti angosciosi e distruttivi, tante sofferenze arrecate ai suoi cari, e a se stessa, dopo venticinque sedute di radioterapia e con la sua pastiglia al giorno che deve prendere per cinque anni, i controlli che vanno seguiti con regolarità, è qua e questa è la sua vita.

Download or read book Cognitive Capitalism Welfare and Labour written by Andrea Fumagalli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the transformations of both accumulation process and labour in the transition from a Fordist to a cognitive capitalism paradigm, with specific regard to Western economies. It outlines the advent, after industrial capitalism, of a new phase of the capitalist system in which the value of cognitive labour becomes dominant. In this framework, the central stakes of capital valorisation and forms of property are directly based on the control and privatization of the production of collective knowledge. Here, the transformation of knowledge itself, into a commodity or a fictitious capital, is analyzed. Building on this foundation, the authors outline their concept of "commonfare." This idea of commonfare implies, as a prerequisite, the social re-appropriation of the gains arising from the exploitation of those social relations which are the basis of accumulation today. This re-appropriation does not necessarily lead to the transition from private to public ownership but it does make it necessary to distinguish between common goods and the commonwealth. This book explains this distinction and how common goods and the commonwealth require a different framework of analysis. This volume will be of great interest to all scholars and researchers, as well as a more general readership, who wish to develop a critical thinking of the mainstream analysis of this topic. Contributing to the "Marxism-heterodox" approach using rigorous theoretical analysis and empirical evidence, it is aimed at all those who act socially and aspire to a better understanding of the development and the contradictions of contemporary capitalism.

Book excerpt: Qual è il senso della vita? Per quale motivo esistiamo? Sicuramente, anche tu, ti sarai posto questa domanda. La bibbia dice che "la conoscenza produce vessazione", forse intendendo che si vive meglio se non si approfondisce troppo la questione, se si ignora il motivo per cui pensiamo, ragioniamo, facciamo progetti e lo scopo per cui esistiamo. Dare una risposta è difficile perché in quello che siamo o vorremo essere, influiscono tantissime variabili ed esperienze. E' possibile trovare una risposta?
