This essay shows substantial connections between Plato’s dialectical approach in The Republic and Adorno’s 1958 lectures in An Introduction to Dialectics. Although the relationship between Adorno and Aristotle has received some attention, little work has been done either demonstrating or making connections between Plato and Adorno, especially on the topic of the dialectic. This is likely because Adorno himself has little to say about Plato’s dialectic, although he does refer often to Plato’s ideas and forms, and sometimes to his aesthetics. This essay reads against the grain to show how Plato and Adorno conceive of dialectical thinking in strikingly similar ways that run parallel with their discontinuities, and concludes with the suggestion that the figure of chiasmus is well-positioned to push the limits of dialectical thinking.

F. Laruelle soumet à notre attention son Tétralogos, un Opéra de Philosophies. Le but qui est nôtre est de faire justice à l’endroit d’un ouvrage fondamental. L’enjeu est de grande importance, surtout à une époque saturée par les propos historiens—en philosophie précisément. En l’occurrence il importe de s’interroger sur le projet laruellien. L’Essentiel, ici, tient en deux mots. L’invention philosophique est le problème-clef. Telle est la force de cette question, totalement originale. Il est urgent de produire une Fiction, c’est-à-dire un processus qui crée en se créant, ou qui invente en s’inventant. Ce faisant nous reprenons la démarche des grands Romantiques s’exprimant après Kant, en lien avec Kant. Chez ces derniers il faut répéter que le souci d’une esthétique est patent. Et il s’agit de conjoindre alors esthétique et esthésique. Telle est la portée du concept de fiction. Chez F. Laruelle la théorisarion passe par ailleurs, du côté de la connaissance dont on bénéfice ou qu’on ignore. En ce sens et à notre avis, Laruelle échappe au nihilisme passif de nos contemporains. Mais Kant n’est pas adopté tout simplement. Car la fiction, selon F. Laruelle, est positive, et surtout pas fictive. Elle est fictionnante plus que nouménalement ; elle invente dans un réel « écouménal » qui n’est pas ectypal pour autant. Avec Laruelle, nous quittons la psychologie des Facultés, et même celle qui plus tard sera reprise par Modernes et Postmodernes. La fiction, bien entendue, est de ressort créateur. Elle dit inventer du réel et ce dans le réel. Elle est de/dans le réel. Esthésique et esthétique collaborent unement. Et ce encore en brisant la contemporanéité illusoire de la fonction sujet et de la fonction objet. Oui : le fictionnement invente en s’inventant, fait un effect dans l’affect. En termes laruelliens, une Tétralogie, ici très puissante, est un domaine de référence. Par exemple, il convient de dire avec force que la Philosophie non-standard touche à l’immense, alors que la Culture Europe, ou Culture Occident, compose sans broncher ni additivement, ni soustractivement. En résumé, la mesure projective, ou de mensuration, qui est effective, éloigne de l’immensité affective, tandis que la démesure, celle qui mord sur soi, s’effondre dans son soi, mais dans un potentiel non-philosophique, ou en Univers unionnant. Depuis son soi d’Univers, travaille un forcing, comme le conçoivent Cohen et Badiou. Ce dernier modélise scientistement le passage de l’Être à l’Événement.

F. Laruelle向我们展示了他的四部曲,一部哲学歌剧。我们的目标是为一项基本工作伸张正义。这是一个非常重要的问题,尤其是在一个充斥着历史评论的时代——尤其是在哲学领域。在这种情况下,有必要对laruellien项目提出质疑。这里的要点可以用两个词来概括。哲学上的发明是关键问题。这就是这个完全原创的问题的力量所在。我们迫切需要一部小说,也就是说,一个通过创造自己来创造的过程,或者通过创造自己来创造的过程。在这样做的过程中,我们回到了伟大的浪漫主义者在康德之后表达自己的方法,与康德联系在一起。对于后者,我们必须重申,对美学的关注是显而易见的。这是一个美学和美学相结合的问题。这就是小说概念的意义所在。在F. Laruelle的著作中,理论从知识的角度出发,我们要么受益,要么被忽视。从这个意义上说,在我们看来,Laruelle逃脱了我们同时代人的被动虚无主义。但康德并不是简单地采用的。因为根据F. Laruelle的说法,小说是积极的,尤其是不是虚构的。它是虚构的,而不是虚构的;她在一个真实的“ecoumenal”中发明,但这并不是ectypal。有了Laruelle,我们就离开了能力心理学,甚至是后来被现代和后现代所采用的能力心理学。当然,小说具有创造性。它说在现实中创造现实。它来自/在现实中。美学与美学携手合作。这也是通过打破主体功能和客体功能的虚幻的同时性来实现的。是的:小说通过发明自己来发明,在情感上产生影响。用laruelliens的术语来说,一个非常强大的四部曲是一个参考领域。例如,必须强调的是,非标准哲学涉及的是无穷大,而欧洲文化或西方文化的构成既不加也不减。简而言之,投射测量,或测量,是有效的,远离情感的浩瀚,而过度,咬自己,崩溃在它自己,但在一个非哲学的潜力,或在一个统一的宇宙。正如科恩和巴迪欧所设想的那样,从他的宇宙自我开始,一种强迫发挥作用。后者科学地模拟了从存在到事件的过渡。在拉鲁埃尔,我们完全避开了科学主义,尽管我们欧洲文化的意识形态支持者提出了意见。我们想到了制度的边缘哲学家,尤其是在法国。

One of the main cores of Katerina Kolozova’s thought is to overcome the impasses left behind by post-structuralism through the non-philosophy of François Laruelle. That is why it should come as no surprise that Capitalism’s Holocaust of Animals: A Non-Marxist Critique of Capital, Philosophy and Patriarchy begins with Foucault’s sentence regarding the death of man. It is an inescapable closure for philosophy, to such an extent that many postmodern thinkers also preferred to declare the end of philosophy alongside the “human” as a category. On the other hand, non-philosophy does not seek any form of annihilation, but rather, to think according to the One as the foreclosed Real, showing that most of the philosophical principles are only positions, thus finding a democracy of thought. Kolozova constructs a non-human epistemology, not yet present in Foucault’s epistemological statement, in dialogue with those theorists who sought to think about how to transcend the borders of the human. The dialogue is particularly fertile when dealing with Donna Haraway’s post-humanist work, yet it remains a critical dialogue. Faced with the monstrosity of the cyborg, Kolozova seeks to establish the method of dualysis of Laruelle’s non-philosophy. This means that she makes a distinction between the Real and language, putting them in a unilateral rather than dialectical relationship, in the sense that both coexist without being determined by each other. In the case of Kolozova’s work, the Real includes the meaningless physicality of animality, and the signifying automaton includes technology.

This essay contributes in part to the discussion of the concept of the border [frontière] and its relations between philosophies and sciences present within the work Épistémologie des frontières. It suggests that borders function as both a separation and a union between the domains of philosophies and sciences in their multiplicity. Borders are determinant in the times of interdisciplinarity, and such investigations are necessary because the accustomed links between philosophies and sciences can no longer be assumed. This essay proposes some hypotheses concerning methodology and the relation to the real to exercise a modelization as the articulation of multiple points of view. Modelization allows for the invention of democratic pragmatics of philosophy/philosophies towards a global re-evaluation of the relations that disciplines, such as the sciences and ethics, share with philosophy
本文在一定程度上有助于讨论边界[fronti]的概念及其在Épistémologie des fronti著作中呈现的哲学和科学之间的关系。它表明,边界在哲学和科学的多样性领域之间既起分离作用,又起联合作用。在跨学科的时代,边界是决定性的,这样的研究是必要的,因为哲学和科学之间的习惯联系不再被假设。本文提出了一些关于方法论和与现实的关系的假设,以将建模作为多种观点的表达。模式化允许哲学/哲学的民主实用主义的发明,以全球重新评估学科之间的关系,如科学和伦理学,与哲学共享

The following paper has as its object the political philosophy of K. Karatani, in particular its relationship with the work of Marx. Japanese philosopher, in fact, reinterprets some elements of Marxian theory in the light of Kantian categories, hybridizing the ethical and moral theory of the latter with the critique of the political economy of the former. The result of Karatani's project can be seen, in particular, in two works. With the first, Transcritique, Karatani moves into the realm of philosophy to construct a method that holds the two theoretical poles together. The concept of 'Transcritique', in fact, represents the junction between Kantian and Marxian insights. With the second work, 'The Structure of World History', the Japanese philosopher shifts the analytical focus from ethics to economics, proposing a different interpretation of capitalism and its historical cycles. The shift of the observation of the capitalist system from the sphere of production to that of exchange represents the analytical novelty. Carrying through to the end the methodology developed in the previous work, Karatani traces back to exchange all the productive, institutional and political dynamics produced over time. Cycles of accumulation thus become cycles of exchange. The author, in fact, determines a correspondence between the specific modes of exchange and the consequent political structures, highlighting the centrality that money occupies, both in the theoretical elaboration and in political reality. The prevailing mode of production, based on the exchange of commodities, relies on the absolute mobility of money and on the strength of the state political institution, which acts as a hinge between the global dimension of exchanges and the territorial need for the appropriation of surplus-value. Karatani's critique is embodied in a political proposal, articulated through two key figures: community and cosmopolitanism. With the first term, the philosopher opposes the materiality of human relationships based on reciprocity to the abstract equivalence of economic relationships. By the second term, he shows the need for an extended political practice in which the pursuit of local freedom goes hand in hand with the realization of global justice. The paper traces these themes both through direct exposure of Karatani's work and by offering critical comparisons with other authors who have addressed similar issues. Finally, the purpose of this paper is to emphasize the originality of the Japanese author's philosophical-historical work, suspended between utopia and pragmatism, also through criticism, in order to highlight its strengths and underline its potential weaknesses.

Uncanny valley (不 気 味 の 谷 ) is a notion introduced by the Japanese robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970. The basic claim of his hypothesis states that the anthropomorphic machines cause uncanny effect due to their imperfect resemblance to the human. Humanoids seem almost like people, but exactly the distance of this almost provokes hot debates. There are two trends in robotics, animation, architecture, and computer games. The first trend seeks to overcome the uncanny valley, constructing such an incredible machine that perfectly mimics human actions. The second trend – Masahiro Mori takes this side – consciously constructs non-anthropomorphic machines. The machine’s appearance, structure, shape, proportion of the parts, and motion must be visibly different from the human ones. The term uncanny valley appears in a European context soon after its introduction, due to Jasia Reichardt’s translation in 1978. She is an art critic and curator who is interested in the role of cybernetics in art. The joint between the uncanny valley in robotics and the legacy of Freud and Jentsch is established with this translation at the intersection point between aesthetics and science. This link opens new fields to theoretical and aesthetic imagination.

The term uncanny valley appears in a European context soon after its introduction, due to Jasia Reichardt’s translation in 1978. She is an art critic and curator who is interested in the role of cybernetics in art. The joint between the uncanny valley in robotics and the legacy of Freud and Jentsch is established with this translation at the intersection point between aesthetics and science. This link opens new fields to theoretical and aesthetic imagination.\u0000 \u0000Author(s): Kamelia Spassova\u0000Title (English): Mimetic Machines in the Uncanny Valley\u0000Journal Reference: Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture, Vol. 18, No. 1-2 (2021).\u0000Publisher: Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities - Skopje\u0000Page Range: 22-33\u0000Page Count: 12\u0000Citation (English): Kamelia Spassova, “Mimetic Machines in the Uncanny Valley,” Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture, Vol. 18, No. 1-2 (2021): 22-33.\u0000Author Biography\u0000Kamelia Spassova, University of Sofia\u0000Kamelia Spassova is Associate professor at the Literary Theory Department at the University of Sofia, Bulgaria.

I consider and support two claims about aesthetic experience: 1) that it involves encounters with a reality that is not conceptualized via such encounters; 2) that it can generate ruptures in established norms or in the production of shared worlds. This thesis is developed in the teeth of contemporary rationalist inhumanisms that draw on Nelson Goodman’s cognitivist aesthetics and his irrealist account of ‘worldmaking’ to translate the logical insights of inferentialism (or conceptual role semantics) into an aesthetics oriented towards concept-laden practices and their revision through the techniques of experimental art. I employ Derrida’s iterability argument to show that inferentialism presupposes a realist metaphysics that treats repetition and event individuation as independent of constitutive rules, conceptual schemes or ‘world versions’; indicating one way in which aesthetic material remains outside of, even recalcitrant to, the conceptual order. The aesthetic implications of this metaphysics of undecidable events are further explored by considering Jean-Pierre Caron’s recent discussion of Henry Flynt’s idea of ‘constitutive dissociations’ and, finally, the concept as, ambivalently, victim or suicide in the experimental horror of Gary Shipley’s novel Warewolff! and my own Snuff Memories.

For this piece we were provoked by an anti-trans moment that took place during the School of Politics and Critique in September 2020. Instead of engaging in a mere “rebuttal” of anti-trans discourse and its reductive, exclusionary claims, with this text we aim to open up a space of exchange and learning that takes the form of a feminist conversation. We discuss the historical and political entrenchment of colonial, capitalist and anti-trans projects to emphasise why a solid trans politics will always hold an anti-colonial agenda to the fore. Critically appraising some unfortunate intellectual and political impasses—as the capturing of feminist politics in schemata of biological determinism or the complicity of white bourgeois feminism in anti-Blackness and colonial exploitation—we shed light on the emancipatory potential of radical transfeminism. The conversation draws on lessons from the writings and practice of many engaged in formulating the stakes of black feminist, anti-colonial and trans politics of solidarity, thus actualizing the insight that we never think or act in isolation from one another.

在这篇文章中,我们受到了2020年9月在政治与批判学院发生的反跨性别时刻的启发。与其仅仅“反驳”反跨性别话语及其简化、排他性的主张,我们的目标是通过这篇文章开辟一个以女权主义对话的形式进行交流和学习的空间。我们讨论了殖民主义、资本主义和反跨性别项目的历史和政治防御,以强调为什么一个坚实的跨性别政治将始终把反殖民议程放在首位。批判性地评价一些不幸的知识和政治僵局——如在生物决定论的图式中捕捉女权主义政治,或白人资产阶级女权主义在反黑人和殖民剥削中的共谋——我们揭示了激进的跨女权主义的解放潜力。对话借鉴了许多参与制定黑人女权主义、反殖民主义和跨性别团结政治利害关系的人的著作和实践中的经验教训,从而实现了我们从不孤立地思考或行动的洞察力。作者(s): Neda Genova和Mijke van der Drift标题(英文):Neda Genova在与Mijke van der Drift的对话:关于跨女权主义作为反殖民政治的对话期刊参考文献:身份:政治,性别和文化杂志,卷17,No. 2-3(冬季2020)出版商:社会科学与人文研究所- skopjpage范围:102-108页数:7引文(英文):Neda Genova和Mijke van der Drift,“Neda Genova在与Mijke van der Drift的对话中:跨性别女性主义作为反殖民政治的对话,”身份:政治,性别与文化杂志,Vol. 17, No. 2-3(冬季2020):102-108。作者简介Mijke van der Drift,皇家艺术学院/剑桥大学哲学家和教育家Mijke van der Drift致力于将伦理学作为社会转型多学科研究的焦点。Van der Drift是伦敦皇家艺术学院和海牙皇家艺术学院的导师。作为“革命论文”项目的一部分,他们将于2020-21年在剑桥大学与伦敦经济学院和西开普大学合作,担任研究助理。此外,van der Drift目前正在撰写他们的著作《非规范性伦理:转型的动力》。他们获得了伦敦大学金匠学院的博士学位。他们目前的项目专注于多元逻辑伦理和慷慨,并暂时命名为“纽带中损失的逻辑”。与纳特·拉哈合著的“激进的跨女权主义:反静态伦理逃避新自由主义的封装”一章最近在剑桥大学出版社詹妮弗·库克主编的《新女权主义研究:二十一世纪批判性干预》中发表。Neda Genova任教于伦敦金史密斯大学和伦敦南岸大学,拥有金史密斯大学文化研究博士学位。她的研究处于后共产主义研究与媒体和文化理论的交叉点。她对女权主义和后殖民理论、幽默和笑声的政治以及后共产主义数字文化感兴趣。她是保加利亚语活动家学术杂志dVERSIA (dВЕРСИЯ)的编辑小组成员。
