Political Ecologies of the Present

= research group based in Napels, with the particpation of Tiziana Terranova

Description

Tiziana Terranova:

"Yuk Hui’s notion of cosmotechnics addresses this relation to cosmic forces – but as with Bernard Stiegler’s work – rejects or refuses to engage the question of general antagonism. This is the question of the legacy of the violent institution of modern societies (which as da Silva pointed out also includes the invention of the tool of cultural differences) in dispossession, patriarchal and racial violence, colonization and so on. This is something that the Critical Computation Bureau (a group including Luciana Parisi, Ezekiel Dixon-Román, Brian D’Aquino and Oana Parvan) has focused on. They have helped me to see the question of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in terms of the recursivity of the colonial episteme – a question that Ravi Sundaram and the Raqs group from New Delhi have also helped us focus."
