Urgences et perspectives comme différence


J'essaie de penser l'urgence et les perspectives à partir de la difference autrefois.

Différer. To defer. To differ. Reporter à une date ultérieure. Écrire dans un libre. Dans le journal. Pour demain. Maktub. Mais cela peut attendre. Cela n'attendra pas. Est-ce que l'urgence a un rapport d'acceleration avec l'existence? L'urgence est différent, elle s'agit des délais, des retards, de changements dans l'incurvation des choses. Des traces. Éxister est différer. Il y a plusieures modes d'existence parce qu'il y a plusieures différences (et plusieures indifférences). La plasticité c'est ce qu'on voit quand on voit une paysage qui ne nous concerne pas. Sinon, on voit les différences.

Chaque chose a un rapport Doppler avec les autres. Vitesse ou accéleration? Donc chaque mode d'existence correspond a une perspective. Chaque mode d'existence correspond à des differences. La prédation: le mammifère n'est jamais seulement un mammifére. Il y a des autres perspectives. Instaurer est inscrire des différences. Instaurer un microbe est instaurer une matrice de différences. Ce qui existe, existe comme plusieures choses; fait plusieures différences. Ce qui n'existe pas ne fait aucune différence. (Le Néant est une mode d'existence de la négation, c'est quand la négation fait une différence.)

Dismantling absolute contingency

I´ve been wondering about whether we can formulate something about contingency along the lines of a principle of irreduction: aucune chose n´est par elle-même contingent ou necessaire . The principle asserts that necessity is always contingent on underlying fixed things: something is physically necessary (or contingent) given the fixed laws of nature, something is deontically contingent - allowed - or necessary - mandatory - given the fixed ethical rules (or laws of the land). Finally, something is logically necessary (or necessary simpliciter) given a fixed logic. The irreducible diversity of ethical rules, the absence of eternal laws of nature and the plurality of logical systems, if accepted, makes necessity relative to those parameters. An aggiornamento of Heraclitus would have that nothing is necessary comes what may. Surely, of couse, if there is no absolute necessity, there is no absolute contingency. We can then say that in a broader, more abstract level, things are up for grab...

Necropolitics and Neocameralism

It is perhaps just wishful thinking that the alt-right seemingly innovative and intrepid ideas will disappear from the scene as Trump's reign comes to an end. They have their own dynamics, but certainly the experiences of the last years, including those in the pandemics, do help to wear off their bright and attractiveness. Neocameralism, what Mencius Moldbug and Nick Land with him ushered in as a model of post-democracy that relinquish important ingredients of the human security system, is one of these projects that is proving to be too grounded in the past to have any capacity to foretell anything bright beyond the democratic rusting institutions. It is little more than necropolitics - which is itself a current post-democratic alternative. Achile Mbembe finds necropolitics in the regimes were warlords take over the state-like institutions (or mimick them)  to rule on the grounds of local security having no troubles killing or letting die whoever is in their path. Neocameralism pos...

Memory Assemblages out!

  Memory Assemblages is out at Bloomsbury This is the book I wrote during most of 22 and 23. It proposes a spectral realism based on the idea that archives are ubiquitous - I call this pan-mnemism. It offers a conception of how memory related deeply with persistent addition of new events, thoughts and circumstances and this addends concoct varying assemblages of what is retained and what brings this archives to the fore. It also rejects the idea that there is an archeology to the archive - or an ontology to hauntology. Even if it boils down merely to postulate traces or forms. I have neglected this blog for a while and I don't expect myself to be very much back to it soon. But I will talk about the book in my youtube channel, in an English language playlist called "On Memory Assemblages" .
