Digital Dark Age : RÉPLIQUES ART-SCIENCE @ IRCAM, Paris, Juin 2013

Postérité, devenir, oubli : l’œuvre du numérique
Le « Digital Dark Age » désigne une situation future où les données électroniques seront illisibles car stockées sur des supports caducs dans des formats oubliés.
Cette problématique touche tous les domaines du savoir et de l’art, de l’archivage et de la création. Elle s’étend à mesure que la mémoire de l’humanité est convertie en bits. Quelles stratégies face à « l’oubli numérique » ? Quelle pérennité pour les œuvres conçues avec une technologie bientôt révolue ? Montage et archivage, vintage et remake, interprétation et réinterprétation authentique signalent l’inventivité artistique en prise directe avec la fuite du temps technologique. Rencontres, débats et « répliques » art-science sur l’œuvre au temps du numérique : une confrontation entre Faust et Janus.
Avec Patrick Bazin, Pierre Boulez, Nicolas Bourriaud, Jean-Baptiste Clais, Régis Debray, Philippe Dubois, Christine Berthaud, Thierry Bouche, Roberto Di Cosmo, Andrew Gerzso, Emmanuel Hoog, Christian Jacob, Anne Laforet, Pierre Lemarquis, Michaël Levinas, Amedeo Napoli, Frédérick Raynal, Slava G. Turyshev…

Deleuze & Fascism : Security: War: Aesthetics - Edited by Brad Evans and Julian Reid @ Routledge, Uk, 20th May 2013


Deleuze & Fascism

Security: War: Aesthetics

Edited by Brad Evans, Julian Reid

Read more @ Routledge website

 This edited volume deploys Deleuzian thinking to re-theorize fascism as a mutable problem in changing orders of power relations dependent on hitherto misunderstood social and political conditions of formation. The book provides a theoretically distinct approach to the problem of fascism and its relations with liberalism and modernity in both historical and contemporary contexts. It serves as a seminal intervention into the debate over the causes and consequences of contemporary wars and global political conflicts as well as functioning as an accessible guide to the theoretical utilities of Deleuzian thought for International Relations (IR) in a manner that is very much lacking in current debates about IR.
Covering a wide array of topics, this volume will provide a set of original contributions focussed in particular upon the contemporary nature of war; the increased priorities afforded to the security imperative; the changing designs of bio-political regimes, fascist aesthetics; nihilistic tendencies and the modernist logic of finitude; the politics of suicide; the specific desires upon which fascism draws and, of course, the recurring pursuit of power.
An important contribution to the field, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, fascism and international relations theory.

 "The editors of this superb volume tell us that 'We are all, always,fascists, of multiple kinds'; the fascism that they speak of, via Deleuze,is not limited to the exploits of Hitler and Nazism. This is the fascismof our own time, a fascism that has deepened and extended even since thetime that Deleuze and Guattari penned. This is the fascism of liberalism itself, the fascism of Kant, of humanism; it is a fascism of desire turned against itself, of the most basic aspects of power and authority. The authors of this volume, extend upon, argue with, probe, and
complicate Deleuze's insights about pervasive fascism; through engagements with western philosophy, science fiction, cinema, Marxism, Foucault, and many other sources, these authors seek to reproblematize and reschematize a fascism that we all partake in, a tendency that, in some sense, we can never fully escape or leave behind. The beauty of this volume is that it explicitly politicizes an endemic crisis, allowing very diverse frames of
reference (historical, aesthetic, theoretical) to mutually engage and contest what must be the greatest challenge of the 21st century." James Martel, San Francisco State University, USA
"When Foucault described Anti-Oedipus as a book for combating the inner fascist in us all his statement was taken at face value and never questioned or investigated. Deleuze and Fascism changes that: it turns Foucault’s claim into a question and problematic and pursues the various lines of flight it opens for us. This is a richly interesting collection of essays with a very serious purpose."-
- Ian Buchanan, Editor Deleuze Studies

Rosi Braidotti - The Posthuman - Polity Press, Uk, 19 April 2013


The Posthuman offers both an introduction and major contribution to contemporary debates on the posthuman. Digital ′second life′, genetically modified food, advanced prosthetics, robotics and reproductive technologies are familiar facets of our globally linked and technologically mediated societies. This has blurred the traditional distinction between the human and its others, exposing the non–naturalistic structure of the human. The Posthuman starts by exploring the extent to which a post–humanist move displaces the traditional humanistic unity of the subject. Rather than perceiving this situation as a loss of cognitive and moral self–mastery, Braidotti argues that the posthuman helps us make sense of our flexible and multiple identities. Braidotti then analyzes the escalating effects of post–anthropocentric thought, which encompass not only other species, but also the sustainability of our planet as a whole. Because contemporary market economies profit from the control and commodification of all that lives, they result in hybridization, erasing categorical distinctions between the human and other species, seeds, plants, animals and bacteria. These dislocations induced by globalized cultures and economies enable a critique of anthropocentrism, but how reliable are they as indicators of a sustainable future? The Posthuman concludes by considering the implications of these shifts for the institutional practice of the humanities. Braidotti outlines new forms of cosmopolitan neo–humanism that emerge from the spectrum of post–colonial and race studies, as well as gender analysis and environmentalism. The challenge of the posthuman condition consists in seizing the opportunities for new social bonding and community building, while pursuing sustainability and empowerment.

Reviews

'This is an exciting and important text, full of intellectual brilliance and insight. It will make a major mark.'
Henrietta L. Moore, University of Cambridge

'Braidotti's exhilarating survey of the constellation of posthumanity is lucid, learned and provocative. It will be an essential point of reference in future debates about the central philosophical problem of our age.'
Paul Gilroy, King’s College London

'Debates over humanism and post-humanism have been fought over from feminist philosophy to literary theory and post-colonial studies. This latest work by Rosi Braidotti presents us with a clear-headed glimpse of some of the hard choices we have before us. Braidotti knows the philosophy, cares about the politics, and empathizes with those who have been shoved aside in these brutal last hundred years. She shows us how feminism, technoscientific infrastructure and political strands cross, sometimes with sparks.'
Peter Galison, Harvard University

Rosi Braidotti is a distinguished university professor at Utrecht University and founding director of the Centre for the Humanities.

Henry Somers-Hall - Deleuze's Difference and Repetition (An Edinburgh Philosophical Guide) - EUP, Uk, March 2013


The essential toolkit for anyone approaching Deleuze for the

 first time

When students read Difference and Repetition for the first time, they face two main hurdles: the wide range of sources that Deleuze draws upon and his dense writing style. This Edinburgh Philosophical Guide helps students to negotiate these hurdles, taking them through the text paragraphy by paragraph. It situates Deleuze within Continental philosophy more broadly and explains why he develops his philosophy in his unique way.
If you're a seasoned Deleuzian, there's something here for you too: you won't want to miss Henry Somers-Hall’s new, positive interpretation of Difference and Repetition.

Henry Somers-Hall is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Manchester Metropolitan University.
