posthumanities jul 7 2015 žižek s piece on greece and the rise of nephopolitics posted by rodolfo piskorski i believe it goes without saying that it is almost impossible for a layperson even an academic one to follow all events and opinions surrounding the greek crisis but žižek s piece for the new statesman is refreshing and sobering in its diagnosis of the state of contemporary capitalism and power in my opinion i agree with everything he writes there but i would like to quote this passage regarding the rise of what i call nephopolitics an ideal is gradually emerging from the european establishment s reaction to the greek referendum the ideal best rendered by the headline of a recent gideon rachman column in the financial times eurozone s weakest link is the voters in this ideal world europe gets rid of this weakest link and experts gain the power to directly impose necessary economic measures if elections take place at all their function is just to confirm the consensus of experts neo liberalism and global financial capitalism as a political entity is slowly making bio politics a thing of the past power doesn t care about the population s biological life anymore it actually wishes everyone would just hurry up and die so money can flow unencumbered in the cloud of financial systems this would be the dream of nephopolitics i have this mental image from agatha christie s and then there were none spoilers where the killer finally kills himself to complete his master plan since even his own existence distracts from the plan s perfection and the plan can only elegantly exist without him so i picture david cameron as the last person alive in britain after the tories have allowed everyone else to die so people wouldn t bother the holy market forces smiling a victorious complacent smile he unplugs himself from life while with his last moments of consciousness he contemplates the beauty of money virtually circling around in the cloud in perpetuity finally free of those pesky people citizens organisms labels capitalism politics zizek 1 comments dec 17 2014 teeth posted by rodolfo piskorski for millennia and in different discursive practices a very common distinguishing mark between humans and animals has been the former s lack of weapons the story goes that animals are perfectly adapted to their environment and behaviour so that their own bodies furnish them with the tools they will need to survive more often than not that means weapons the story then concludes that to balance it out and conquer the animals we have technology continue reading labels agamben animals derrida evolution musings philosophy 0 comments apr 4 2014 animal silhouettes posted by rodolfo piskorski many have talked about the fact that in derrida s deconstructive readings the signifier he obsesses over doesn t need to be really there to be sure in many of his analyses he finds a specific word whose flickering of meanings will reveal the symptoms of différance at play in the given text think of rousseau s supplement or plato s pharmakon but that is not always the case and some have stressed that such a privileged signifier does not need to actually feature in the text its importance however is situated by the other signifiers so that it s silhouetted against them it may not emerge once but its presence is secured precisely by the strategic placement of all the other words like this continue reading labels derrida language linguistics 1 comments feb 21 2014 scriptural electric animality posted by rodolfo piskorski when writing about zoogrammatology i often make the point that animality threatens to short circuit language and literature to use an expression sometimes employed by cary wolfe i was happy but not really surprised to find further theorization of such short circuit in of grammatology it is basically the complex presuppositional relationship that obtains between writing and science continue reading labels animality derrida grammatology literature my writings 0 comments dec 22 2012 new issue of icas journal posted by rodolfo piskorski the latest issue of the journal of the institute for critical animal studies is out i m proud to say that i have a small participation on it a review of tom tyler s book ciferae a bestiary in five fingers which is just great by the way i m particularly curious about iveson s article on butler and taylor s about foucault and alimentary monsters i plan to read and re read a lot of butler for my phd and i ve been thinking whether the people who are writing about animals in butler like james at critical animal have given any thought to the question of animal embodiment via bodies that matter i don t know if they have that s why i ask but it should be interesting you can check out the issue for free as usual right here labels butler critical animal studies my writings 0 comments may 26 2012 human exceptionalism in gattaca posted by rodolfo piskorski i say more thoughts because i have been thinking about and discussing gattaca for years now and it s certainly one of my favorite films the persecuted underdog story coupled with michael nyman s beautiful score always gets to me i have of course also detected in it the romantic notion that being sick in a sick society is actually being healthy as such gattaca is also a powerful defense of the romantic idea of the visionary individual who swimming against the tide as it were is somehow above the law that together with the no gene for the human spirit bs seems to make for a deeply humanist film and i use that adjective as an insult but right now i m interested in the cues the film presents to warrant a post humanist reading continue reading labels animality film humanism posthumanism 0 comments oct 24 2011 bare life and animal life posted by rodolfo piskorski i m currently reading agamben s homo sacer sovereign power and bare life carefully for the first time and i m having a hard time separating the many thematic strands that comprise such issues as the homo sacer itself bare life and sovereignty let me just also add that i m also currently reading i e haven t finished the 1st volume of derrida s the beast and the sovereign and ludueña romandini la comunidad de los espectros antropotecnia the community of specters anthropothecnics and both can be said to be responses to agamben so they may still hold answers to me first i m having trouble pinpointing exactly what the homo sacer is i know it is a life which can be killed with impunity but not sacrificed in a religious rite what kind of life is that exactly i guess i m trying to establish the frame of mind rationalization behind the granting of the homo sacer status but it s hard let s see what i could gather so far continue reading labels agamben bare life derrida homo sacer ludueña sovereignty 2 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom rodolfo piskorski my current research focuses on the role of animality for the construction of meaning in literary cultural texts as in the works of brazilian author clarice lispector who was the focus of my dissertation i m attempting to outline a theory for a possible zoogrammatology which would account for how animals make meaning language and humanity possible i am a close reader of derrida and i believe his early texts about language linguistics and différance speak as much about animals as the later ones more openly concerned with animality my favorite book is without a doubt of grammatology la grammè my other blog please write me if you want to make contact academia edu profile most read bare life and animal life animality animals and racial otherness human exceptionalism in gattaca kojève s posthumanism posthuman blogs critical animal art history major does not generally have better financial outcomes than finance major 1 year ago conblogeration first blog post 10 years ago about the post of posthumanism indicates a particular philosophical orientation toward the question of the human itself one that would insist that we have never been only or wholly human if by human we mean that creature familiar to us from the enlightenment and its legacy rather the human is enmeshed in the larger problem at once biological ecological and ontological of what derrida calls the living posthumanism does not entail a beyond the human but rather a beyond humanism and a better yet translation would show that the word post is there to reveal not a temporal discontinuity but a crisis posthumanist thinking tries to think of the human as a place of tensions deeply steeped in a deeper discussion of humanity animality and the living adapted from posthumanities by cary wolfe archives 2015 1 july 1 2014 3 december 1 april 1
