The End of Abstraction? The Triumph of Abstraction? A Prospective Dilemma
Chaos and the automaton are the two figures that we can distinguish at the horizon of our historical moment. The pandemic collapse has been the chaotic effect of the force of the virus, a concretion of biological matter, jeopardising the abstract order of capitalism. But it has simultaneously been the trigger of further abstraction: digital communication and financial support to an already impoverished society

La enfermedad llamada tristeza / The malady named sadness
Resulta extremadamente triste mirar al mar en estos días. Aquí, donde paso mis vacaciones de verano, en la costa del Mediterráneo, algunos chicos jóvenes nadan o toman el sol inocentemente. La gente joven no quiere saber qué está pasando, ellos únicamente saben que el infierno se está extendiendo y está engullendo su vida. A veces creo que se lo merecen. Pero sé que la ignorancia no es un defecto, la miseria moral no es su culpa, es una enfermeda…
Décomposition et recombinaison à l'âge de la précarité
Cet article analyse l'« automation cognitive », c'est-à-dire l'uniformisation des procédures de perception, d'imagination et d'énonciation. La transformation digitale de l'info-travail est une condition de la précarisation finale, et l'info-travail est ainsi le point d'arrivée d'un processus d'abstraction de l'activité humaine cognitive dé-singularisée et dé-corporalisée. Le temps dé-singularisé et la cognition dé-personnalisée sont les agents ul…
Gangster Liberalism: The Italian Case
Média-activisme revisité
Si le média-activisme est parvenu à libérer des espaces d'expression, il n'a pas su empêcher les médias dominants, institutionnels et privés, de se réapproprier cette libération. À travers ses effets de saturation et de fragmentation, le « sémiocapitalisme » nous a fait la peau. Les médias dominants ont détruit les médiations individuelles et collectives par leur envoûtement : leur vol du temps et de la sensibilité. C'est la dimension esthétique …
The Image Dispositif
What is interesting is not the image as a representation of reality, but its dynamic power, its ability to stir up and build projections, interactions and narrative frames structuring reality. What is interesting in the image is its ability to select among infinite possible perceptual experiences, so that imagination becomes imagin/action
What does Cognitariat Mean? Work, Desire and Depression
In order to understand the meaning of the notions of cognitive labour and cognitariat, it is necessary to analyse not only the transformations that have taken place in the work process but also what is happening in the psychic and desiring dimension of post-industrial society. What is at stake in the social definition of cognitive labour is the body, sexuality, perishable physicality and the unconscious. Cognitariat is the social corporeality of …

Collapse and Uprising in Europe:The Right to Insolvency and the Disentanglement of the General Intellect's Potency Franco Berardi (bio) Austerity in Europe "The German worker does not want to pay the Greek fisherman's bills," the fanatics of economic fundamentalism are saying, while pitting workers against workers and leading Europe to the brink of civil war.

What About the Dark Side of Multitude
After the Future
After the Future explores our century-long obsession with the concept of "the future." Beginning with F. T. Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto" and the worldwide race toward a new and highly mechanized society that defined the "Century of Progress," highly respected media activist Franco Berardi traces the genesis of future-oriented thought through the punk movement of the early '70s and into the media revolution of the '90s. Cyberculture, the last …

Les radios libres et l'émergence d'une sensibilité post-médiatique
La communication indépendante qui, ces dernières décennies, s’est manifestée dans les radios libres, le médiactivisme, les telestreet, le subvertising, etc, peut être considérée comme l’expression et la préfiguration de ce que Felix Guattari appelait « civilisation post-médiatique ». L’indépendance de la communication est un défi envers le pouvoir. Pour en comprendre le sens, il est utile de partir de la notion guattarienne d’ « agencement collec…
Pour une Europe mineure: Juin 2003
Une innovation politique susceptible de remodeler le paysage politique mondial est l’enjeu réel de l’unification européenne. Pour ce faire Bifo réclame que le projet européen s’autonomise par rapport à l’extension illimitée du principe libéral porté par les forces mondiales dominantes et prépare leur renversement. Un « nationalisme européen » constituerait une impasse : la construction européenne sera extensive, postnationalitaire, elle se fera p…
