Deleuze put forth a description of fluid control in computerized society in his text ‘Postscript on Control Societies’. With the help of the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon, we can broaden and complexify this view and understand digital systems through the concept of modulation. These modulatory systems intervene in human individuation by controlling individuals as ‘dividuals’. In contemporary digital technologies, like blockchain platforms, the modulatory dividual control can be fierce and even total. Simondon’s concepts of pre-individual, individuation, and transindividuation present us with an ontology for this contemporary mode of control and enable us to better understand the complex relations between the being of humans and technical networks.
德勒兹在《控制社会后记》中对计算机社会中的流体控制进行了描述。借助吉尔伯特·西蒙顿(Gilbert Simondon)的哲学,我们可以拓宽和复杂化这一观点,并通过调制的概念来理解数字系统。这些调节系统通过将个体控制为“个体”来干预人类个性化。在像区块链平台这样的当代数字技术中,调制性的个人控制可能是激烈的,甚至是全面的。西蒙东的前个体、个性化和跨个性化的概念为我们提供了一种当代控制模式的本体论,使我们能够更好地理解人类存在与技术网络之间的复杂关系。

Review: Andrew Feenberg, The Ruthless Critique of Everything Existing 书评:安德鲁·芬伯格《对一切现存事物的无情批判》
2区 社会学 Q1 CULTURAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2023-11-13 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231207016
Rainer Winter
In his new book, The Ruthless Critique of Everything Existing: Nature and Revolution in Marcuse’s Philosophy of Praxis (2023), Andrew Feenberg offers a critical reconstruction of the latter’s oeuvre that brings into focus the topicality and poignancy of his thinking. To this end, he examines significant aspects of Marcuse’s writings in an effort to determine the philosophical foundations and pioneering perspectives of his thought. He contends that Marcuse’s philosophy is now more relevant than ever because it profoundly critiques science and technology and urgently advocates the protection of nature from their destructive consequences. It calls into question the operationality and efficiency of control and monitoring, which are becoming more and more prevalent today. In this regard, as Feenberg argues, Marcuse’s approach is largely predicated on a rehabilitation of the everyday experience inspired by phenomenology, on the principle of potentiality highlighted by Aristotle and Hegel, and on Freud’s conceptions of Eros and the death drive, as well as his theory of the imagination. Marcuse endeavored to ascertain more precisely how existence is historically and socially situated and how a transformative practice may emerge.
安德鲁·芬伯格在他的新书《对一切现存事物的无情批判:马尔库塞实践哲学中的自然与革命》(2023)中,对后者的作品进行了批判性的重构,将其思想的话题性和辛痛性集中在了一起。为此,他考察了马尔库塞著作的重要方面,努力确定其思想的哲学基础和开创性观点。他认为,马尔库塞的哲学现在比以往任何时候都更有意义,因为它深刻地批评了科学和技术,并迫切主张保护自然免受其破坏性后果的影响。它使人们对管制和监测的可操作性和效率产生疑问,而管制和监测在今天正变得越来越普遍。在这方面,正如芬伯格所认为的那样,马尔库塞的方法在很大程度上是基于现象学启发的日常经验的恢复,基于亚里士多德和黑格尔强调的潜在性原则,基于弗洛伊德的厄洛斯和死亡驱动的概念,以及他的想象理论。马尔库塞试图更精确地确定存在是如何在历史和社会上定位的,以及变革实践是如何出现的。

Assembling a distinctive genealogy of cybernetic thought situated in relation to Progressive Era technocracy, industrial capitalism, (de)colonial relations, and eugenic machinery, Code uncovers the vital interdependence of informatics, the humanities, and the human sciences in the 20th century. Rather than figuring cybernetics as emerging from Second World War military technologies and post-war digital computing, Code argues that liberal technocrats’ inter-war visions of social welfare delivered via ‘neutral’ communication techniques shaped the informatic interventions of both the Second World War and the Cold War. Tracing how an organizing concept of code linked the work of diverse structurally-minded thinkers, such as Norbert Wiener, Warren Weaver, Margaret Mead, Gregory Bateson, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roman Jakobson, Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes, and Luce Irigaray, Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan reconstructs the cybernetic apparatus that spawned new fields, including structural anthropology, family therapy, and literary semiology – and grapples with the unfolding implications of such socio-technical dynamics for 21st-century critical theory, digital media, and data analytics.
《代码》结合了与进步时代技术官僚、工业资本主义、(去)殖民关系和优生机制相关的控制论思想的独特谱系,揭示了20世纪信息学、人文科学和人文科学之间至关重要的相互依存关系。Code并没有把控制论看作是二战军事技术和战后数字计算的产物,而是认为自由主义技术官僚在两次世界大战之间通过“中立”通信技术实现的社会福利愿景塑造了二战和冷战的信息干预。伯纳德·狄奥尼修斯·盖根追溯了代码的组织概念如何将不同的结构思想思想家的工作联系在一起,如诺伯特·维纳、沃伦·韦弗、玛格丽特·米德、格雷戈里·贝特森、克劳德·拉斯维·施特劳斯、罗曼·雅各布森、雅克·拉康、罗兰·巴特和卢斯·伊里加雷,重建了控制论装置,产生了新的领域,包括结构人类学、家庭治疗、文学符号学——并与21世纪批判理论、数字媒体和数据分析的这种社会技术动态的展开含义作斗争。

The Solutionist Ethic and the Spirit of Digital Capitalism 解决主义伦理与数字资本主义精神

Digital technologies are rapidly transforming economies and societies. Scholars have approached this rise of digital capitalism from various angles. However, relatively little attention has been paid to digital capitalism’s cultural underpinnings and the beliefs of those who develop most digital technologies. In this paper, we argue that a solutionist order of worth – in which value derives from solving social problems through technology – has become central to an emerging spirit of digital capitalism. We use supervised learning to trace the relative importance of different orders of worth in three novel text corpora. We find that solutionism is indeed central to the normative beliefs of digital elites and the broader digital milieu, but not to capitalist discourse at large. We illustrate the importance of these findings by discussing how the spirit of digital capitalism motivates, legitimates, and orients the actions of digital capitalists.
数字技术正在迅速改变经济和社会。学者们从不同的角度探讨了数字资本主义的兴起。然而,人们对数字资本主义的文化基础和大多数数字技术开发者的信仰的关注相对较少。在本文中,我们认为解决主义的价值秩序——其中价值来源于通过技术解决社会问题——已经成为新兴的数字资本主义精神的核心。我们使用监督学习来追踪三个新文本语料库中不同价值顺序的相对重要性。我们发现,解决方案主义确实是数字精英和更广泛的数字环境的规范性信念的核心,但不是资本主义话语的核心。我们通过讨论数字资本主义精神如何激励、合法化和引导数字资本家的行为来说明这些发现的重要性。

The Jews Killed Moses: Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Question 犹太人杀了摩西:西格蒙德·弗洛伊德和犹太人问题

Freud completed his last book, on Moses and Monotheism, in 1939, while in his London exile. Its publication was deemed untimely, as its two main theses could be construed as a form of Jewish self-hatred. The first claim questions Moses’ Jewish origins and contends that the founder of the Jews was in fact an Egyptian; the second suggests that the Jews killed Moses and then created his myth as a coping mechanism for concealing their terrible deed. In this article, I contend that Moses and Monotheism can be read as Freud’s intervention in debates on the ‘Jewish Question’. After revisiting Freud’s original argument (I), I assess its reception among leading Jewish intellectuals of the 20th century (II). I then use Freud’s arguments to look at the two key themes of the Jewish Question: understanding the defining features of Jewish identity (III) and the pervasiveness of antisemitism in Western culture (IV).
1939年,弗洛伊德在伦敦流亡期间完成了他的最后一本书《摩西与一神教》。它的出版被认为不合时宜,因为它的两个主要论点可以被解释为犹太人自我仇恨的一种形式。第一种说法质疑摩西的犹太血统,并认为犹太人的创始人实际上是埃及人;第二种观点认为,犹太人杀死了摩西,然后创造了他的神话,作为掩盖他们可怕行为的应对机制。在这篇文章中,我认为摩西和一神教可以被解读为弗洛伊德对“犹太问题”辩论的干预。在重新审视弗洛伊德的原始论点(1)之后,我评估了它在20世纪主要犹太知识分子中的接受程度(2)。然后,我用弗洛伊德的论点来研究犹太问题的两个关键主题:理解犹太人身份的定义特征(3)和反犹太主义在西方文化中的普遍存在(4)。

This review article assesses the core arguments of Quinn Slobodian’s Crack-Up Capitalism. In this book, Slobodian identifies and analyses territorial forms that are central to the creation of capitalist zones of exception that, to a large extent, sit outside the reach of political democracy: ‘islands’, ‘phyles’, and ‘franchise nations’. This article argues that Slobodian’s analysis of these territorial forms – which have been designed to enable the extraction, accumulation and protection of capital to the benefit of the super-rich – is a valuable addition to the existing literature on neoliberalism and libertarianism. However, further conceptual and theoretical work is needed to connect these territorial forms to existing analyses of capitalism, sovereignty and exception that address long-standing historical and political tensions between capitalism and democracy.
这篇评论文章评估了奎因·斯洛博迪安的《崩溃的资本主义》的核心论点。在这本书中,斯洛博迪安识别并分析了在很大程度上位于政治民主范围之外的资本主义例外地带的核心领土形式:“岛屿”、“菲勒斯”和“特许国家”。本文认为,斯洛博迪安对这些领土形式的分析是对现有的新自由主义和自由主义文献的宝贵补充。这些领土形式旨在使资本的提取、积累和保护有利于超级富豪。然而,需要进一步的概念和理论工作,将这些领土形式与现有的资本主义、主权和例外分析联系起来,以解决资本主义与民主之间长期存在的历史和政治紧张关系。

Mutual Futurity: Rethinking Incommensurability between Indigenous Sovereignty and Black Freedom 共同的未来:重新思考原住民主权与黑人自由的不可通约性

Engaging feminist and queer of color theory as well as work emerging from social movements, this piece critically examines narratives of impasse between Black Studies and Native Studies in the US, particularly assertions of incommensurability between the goals of Black freedom and Native sovereignty. The article outlines some of the theoretical debates between Black and Indigenous Studies that have calcified into impasses, focusing particularly on Afropessimist and Settler Colonial Studies’ framings of either slavery/anti-Blackness or settler colonialism as the foundational violence around which a racist/settler modernity is structured. This article argues that approaches that emphasize relationality and the co-determination of settler colonialism and anti-Black racism can help us to think beyond a Black/Native impasse and towards a mutual futurity for both Black and Indigenous people in living in the place we currently call the United States.
结合女权主义者和酷儿色彩理论,以及社会运动中出现的作品,这篇文章批判性地审视了美国黑人研究和本土研究之间的僵局,特别是黑人自由和本土主权目标之间不可通约性的主张。本文概述了黑人和土著研究之间的一些理论争论,这些争论已经陷入僵局,特别关注非洲悲观主义者和定居者殖民研究的框架,即奴隶制/反黑人或定居者殖民主义作为种族主义/定居者现代性的基本暴力。本文认为,强调移民殖民主义和反黑人种族主义的关系和共同决定的方法可以帮助我们超越黑人/土著的僵局,走向黑人和土著人民共同生活在我们现在称之为美国的地方的共同未来。

Between Habermas and Lyotard: Rethinking the Contrast between Modernity and Postmodernity 哈贝马斯与利奥塔之间:现代性与后现代对比的再思考

The article shows that Habermas’s modernism and Lyotard’s postmodernism are not as antithetical as they are often taken to be. First, we argue that Habermas is not a strong foundationalist concerned with identifying universal rules for language, as postmodern critiques have often interpreted him. Instead, he develops a social pragmatics in which the communicative use of language is the fundamental presupposition of any meaningful interaction. Second, we argue that Lyotard is not a relativist who denies any universal linguistic structure. Instead, he claims that language involves a universal element of dissensus that cannot be subordinated to consensus. Third, we show that neither does Habermas defend a new version of the kind of philosophy of history characteristic of the Enlightenment, nor is Lyotard a historical relativist, but instead they both seek alternatives to these positions. The conclusion calls for more nuance in the interpretation of both perspectives.
文章表明,哈贝马斯的现代主义与利奥塔的后现代主义并不像人们通常认为的那样是对立的。首先,我们认为哈贝马斯并不像后现代批评家经常解释的那样,是一个致力于确定语言普遍规则的坚定的基础主义者。相反,他发展了一种社会语用学,其中语言的交际使用是任何有意义的互动的基本前提。其次,我们认为利奥塔不是一个否认任何普遍语言结构的相对主义者。相反,他声称语言包含了不一致的普遍因素,不能从属于共识。第三,我们表明哈贝马斯既没有捍卫启蒙运动特征的历史哲学的新版本,利奥塔也不是历史相对主义者,相反,他们都在寻找这些立场的替代方案。结论要求对两种观点的解释有更细微的差别。

By Way of Resemblance: On Benjamin’s Daoist Renewal of Dialectics 以相似之道:论本雅明对辩证法的道家式更新
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 CULTURAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2023-07-01 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231169960
M. Ty
Channeling affinities with certain motifs of Daoism, Walter Benjamin renews a form of dialectical thought that diffuses ideological notions of progress and grants minimal weight to the ontological distinction of the Subject. In fleeting yet pivotal moments of contact with Chinese aesthetics, Benjamin moves attention toward the practice of ‘thinking by way of resemblance’ – a phenomenon he variously enacts. Calling forth resonances within late-capitalist modernity, he retrieves from Daoist literature a notion of dialectical reversal freed from progressive synthesis, as well as image-repertoires of self-forgetting, which he understands to be irreducible to reification. The Daoist imaginary offers Benjamin resources for breaking open the anthropocentric closure of Hellenic accounts of mimesis. He theorizes similitude more capaciously as something that can flash up across temporally discontinuous phenomena – without deferring to predetermined categories of Being. Benjamin thus recasts resemblance – regarded by Enlightenment rationality as an impoverished mode of cognition – as a medium of historical apprehension that resists the occlusion of transience by the ontology of the victors.
瓦尔特·本雅明将其与道教的某些主题联系起来,更新了一种辩证思维形式,传播了关于进步的意识形态概念,并将主体的本体论区别最小化。在与中国美学接触的短暂而关键的时刻,本雅明将注意力转向了“以相似的方式思考”的实践——他以不同的方式创造了这种现象。他唤起了晚期资本主义现代性的共鸣,从道家文学中找回了一种从进步综合中解放出来的辩证逆转的概念,以及自我遗忘的意象,他认为这是不可简化为物化的。道家的想象为本雅明提供了打破人类中心主义封闭的希腊摹仿理论的资源。他更宽泛地将相似性理论化,认为它可以在时间上不连续的现象中闪现——而不遵从预先确定的存在范畴。因此,本雅明重新塑造了相似性——被启蒙理性视为一种贫乏的认知模式——作为一种历史理解的媒介,它抵制了胜利者本体论对短暂性的封锁。

In fleeting yet pivotal moments of contact with Chinese aesthetics, Benjamin moves attention toward the practice of ‘thinking by way of resemblance’ – a phenomenon he variously enacts. Calling forth resonances within late-capitalist modernity, he retrieves from Daoist literature a notion of dialectical reversal freed from progressive synthesis, as well as image-repertoires of self-forgetting, which he understands to be irreducible to reification. The Daoist imaginary offers Benjamin resources for breaking open the anthropocentric closure of Hellenic accounts of mimesis. He theorizes similitude more capaciously as something that can flash up across temporally discontinuous phenomena – without deferring to predetermined categories of Being.

P. Ricoeur
As the absolute other of Greek thought and speech, Chinese renders Greek strange; in seeking equivalency, Jullien’s discussion on time demonstrates a creative betrayal of the original and an equally creative appropriation by the target language in the process of translation.
汉语作为希腊思想和语言的绝对他者,使希腊语显得陌生;于连关于时间的讨论在寻找对等的过程中,既体现了对原文的创造性背叛,又体现了译入语在翻译过程中的创造性挪用。
