Assembling the Brain
The perspective of philosophical posthumanism and the new materialist strands allow a rethinking of cognitive processes beyond the locationist standpoint. Locationism, indeed, acknowledges cognition as being singularly localised: now in neurons, now in the brain, now in the body of an organism that holds logo-centred, individuated and autonomous rationalism. Rather, the proposal of an assemblage-brain, and more broadly of an assembled-cognition, …
Leak Early, Leak (More Than) Often
Data leaks have become one of the most ubiquitous weapons in the arsenal of digital media dissent. However, often such processes of mediation exceed a rational understanding of the information revealed. Acting in the domain of the accident, the mediations of leaks operate in the dimension of the event: an immanent and particular set of relations that is provoked by the encounter and collision of various forces, virtually becoming their productive…
Excavating the Centrality of Materiality for a Posthuman “Anthropomediality”
The concept of “anthropomediality” traces a new path for the anthropological study of media, moving toward the posthuman. Matter here is central, signaling incarnated relations between humans and technologies. This article proposes a theoretical and programmatic delineation of a relational tool: an ecological approach that focuses on materiality in the form of an analysis of strata by means of an excavating movement
Towards a nonlinear, material history of digital swarms
In contemporary internetworked societies, digital media and networks have increasingly become a “battlefield” where, following the emergence of novel power relations, new forms of resistance have come to the fore. Amongst these resistances, there are the so-called “digital swarms”. This is a communicational disruption also technically known in computing as “Distributed Denial-of-Service” (DDoS): a form of political dissent that, in the last years…
Notes for an ecological archaeology of imaginary media hacking
The Arab Spring included instances of media hacking directed towards providing technological support for local struggles. The forms that this media hacking took can be excavated by archaeological and ecological readings of mediation. In particular, notions of imaginary media and Guattarian machinism can be used to make connections to a non-linear past beyond computing, activating forces of desire and their particular micropolitics through ontogen…
