Negotiating trust in AI-enabled navigation technologies
Refusing clichés
The synthetic photography of Irish-American conceptual artist, Kevin Abosch, speaks to a growing field of artistic and creative practices concerned with critically exploring the potential futures of human creativity and imagination in the wake of artificial intelligence (AI). Scholars within and beyond geography have often turned to such artistic engagements with AI for how they figure these technologies and systems as objects of refusal, framing…
Refiguring habits of subjectivity, communication, and space in online video calls
The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic has brought profound change to many areas of our lives, and perhaps most of all in terms of how we communicate. A testament to our vital need for social connection, millions of people have sought to shed the physical constraints of isolation and restricted mobility by using online video calling to reaffirm relations with friends, colleagues and wider communities. Drawing on qualitative in‐depth interviews with users …
Habit, Artificial Intelligence and the Ontological Performance of Trust
The rapid growth of AI technologies has led to increased concerns around their perceived trustworthiness. In response, many authors have turned to the predictable rituals and routines of habit as a crucial resource for enhancing trust in these new technologies. This paper revisits the relationship between habit and trust, but from the perspective of the more ontological and dynamic understanding developed on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. We a…
Geophilosophy round table
Thinking the unconscious beyond the psychoanalytic subject
The last decade has seen growing interest across human geography in the concept of the unconscious as a key terrain for thinking social life. At the same time, an increasing number of geographers are exploring theorisations of the unconscious that push beyond the subject-predicate tendencies of much psychoanalytic thinking, addressing material and non-representational forces that exceed the confines of a human-centred understanding. This paper ex…
From ‘world’ to ‘earth
With the invention of the concept of ‘geophilosophy’, Deleuze and Guattari did not intend to invoke a new subfield of philosophy; for them, all philosophy is geophilosophy by virtue of its constitutive relationship with contingency. What is less well understood, however, are the implications of Deleuze and Guattari’s geophilosophical approach for how we think about subjectivity today. Working against phenomenological forms of ‘earth-thinking’ tha…
Responsibility before the World
The recent ‘nonhuman turn’ in the theoretical humanities and social sciences has highlighted the need to develop more ontological modes of theorising the ethical ‘responsibility’ of the human in its relational encounters with nonhuman bodies and materialities. However, there is a lingering sense in this literature that such an ethics remains centred on a transcendent subject that would pre-exist the encounters on which it is called to respond. In…
Gilbert Simondon and the Technical Mentalities and Transindividual Affects of Art-science
Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in the field of 'art-science' collaborations for their perceived capacity to develop new cultural understandings of technology and science. In this article, and through an engagement with the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon, I argue that if art-science represents an important site for the formation of an alternate technical culture today, then it is because of the new technical mentalities that such …
A ‘Post‐Work’ World
This article reviews geographical research on labour market changes that pose a challenge to ‘work’ as a compelling category of analysis. Drawing inspiration from feminist scholarship that has sought to develop a frame for thinking about the concept of work so that other activities outside employment are recognised, it considers what everyday practices of work, including domestic and reproductive labour, can teach us about the realities and futur…
Sensing
This intervention addresses contemporary interest in the development of multi‐sensory methods and pushes against a lingering humanism in such work that continues to bind the event of “sensing” to discrete and already‐constituted subjects. It spotlights film as a generative site for a different thinking of sense outside the myopic perspective of human subjectivity. Through pedagogical encounters with the films of the Sensory Ethnography Lab, the p…
Practising post‐humanism in geographical research
Post‐humanist theories shaping contemporary geographic research have unsettled the privileged position of the “human” as a common reference to apprehend social life. This decentring of the human demands that we rethink our expectations of, and approaches to, methodological practice and the traditional distinctions made between the theoretical and the empirical. In this introduction and the following interventions, we explore how a material situat…
Theorizing Bioart Encounters after Gilbert Simondon
In recent years 'bioart' has been lauded in the social sciences for its creative engagements with the ontological stakes of new forms of biotechnical life in-the-making. In this paper I push further to explore the ontogenetic potentials of bioart-encounters to generate new capacities for thinking and perceiving the nonhuman agencies imbricated in the becoming of subjects. To explore this potential I stage an encounter with Gilbert Simondon's phil…
Habit, art, and the plasticity of the subject
This paper develops a vitalist conception of habit as a means to theorize the material capacity of art-encounters to reconfigure and reinvent the subject. Drawing principally on the innovative conceptualization of habit articulated in the philosophies of Félix Ravaisson and Gilles Deleuze, where it is theorized as a much more volatile and creative force of repetition that makes change possible, I first explore how habit pushes our contemporary un…

Gilbert Simondon and the Philosophy of the Transindividual
This welcome translation of Muriel Combes' seminal book provides a concise, lucid and eminently readable introduction to the complex thought of Gilbert Simondon. Originally published in France in 1999, Combes' book inspired a new wave of serious engagement with his thought by challenging obstinate characterisations of Simondon as just a 'thinker of technics', or as merely a 'source of inspiration'for more acclaimed philosophers (xxi). Turning att…
