Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to provide an interpretive and evaluative introduction to Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi’s critical media theory and to situate it with a view to understanding but also thinking beyond the limitations of an aesthetic practice rooted almost exclusively in conscious, language-based thought. It begins by examining the way in which Berardi conceptualizes the techno-social paradigm emerging in the passage from late industrial society to semiocapitalism (a form of capitalism based on immaterial labour and the explosion of the infosphere), connecting this to the ecological-aesthetic concerns of Félix Guattari. It concludes by questioning the prospects of poetry to forge lines of escape from the determinism of techno-linguistic governance, suggesting, by way of N. Katherine Hayles and Donna Haraway, that extra-linguistic, nonconscious resources may provide a broader and more viable theoretical palette for conceiving of indeterminability beyond, behind, and in the interstices of a complex digital ecology.

逃离数字信息圈!佛朗哥·贝拉尔迪批判媒介理论中的变异与解脱
本文的目的是为佛朗哥·比佛·贝拉尔迪的批判媒体理论提供一个解释性和评价性的介绍,并将其置于一种理解的视角,同时也超越了一种几乎完全植根于有意识的、基于语言的思想的美学实践的局限性。它首先考察了贝拉尔迪在从晚期工业社会到半资本主义(一种基于非物质劳动和信息空间爆炸的资本主义形式)的过渡中对技术社会范式的概念化方式,并将其与fastlix Guattari的生态美学关注联系起来。它的结论是质疑诗歌的前景,以形成逃离技术语言统治的决定论的路线,通过N.凯瑟琳·海尔斯和唐娜·哈拉威的方式,暗示语言之外的,无意识的资源可能提供一个更广泛和更可行的理论调色板,用于构思超越,背后和在复杂的数字生态的间隙中的不确定性。
