For a Critique of Neoliberal Carbon Trading. A Foucauldian Perspective on Ecological Crisis and Biomimicry
No full textThis article aims at exploring how Foucauldian categories such as biopolitics and governmentality – both liberal and neoliberal – can shed new light on discursive formations that have become mainstream in recent years, namely those of green economy and biomimicry. While the former is a capitalist attempt to incorporate the environmental limit as a new terrain for accumulation and valorization, the latter proposes the imitation of natural systems to reduce negative environmental impacts without sacrificing economic growth. Overall, the article discusses and criticizes the conditions of possibility that allowed these conceptualizations to emerge and function in contemporary neoliberal societies
Per una critica della Green Economy neoliberale
No full textL’idea di fondo che struttura e articola questo contributo è che categorie foucaultiane quali biopolitica e governamentalità siano in grado di gettare nuova luce critica sul concetto di green economy, ormai divenuto mainstream, per quanto ancora privo di una definizione organica e condivisa1. Sullo sfondo dell’attuale, devastante crisi economica (esplosa nel 2008 ma silenziosamente in incubatrice fin dagli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso), possiamo caratterizzare la green economy come uno dei più rilevanti tentativi, specificamente capitalistici, di superare il crollo finanziario attraverso l’incorporazione del limite ambientale in qualità di nuovo terreno di accumulazione e valorizzazione. In termini foucaultiani: come elemento fondamentale di nuove pratiche governamentali
Border Struggles: Migration, Subjectivity and the Common. A review of Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson, Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of Labor
No full textThe review essay assesses first and foremost the capability of Mezzadra and Neilson’s book
to radically tackle some urgent issues concerning both capital’s regulation of migratory
movements and the subjective autonomy these latter incessantly express. The main
original contribution of the text is a conception of the border as an epistemic device
through which to address and act upon a variety of social processes, from migration
policies to labour transformations, from capital’s restructuring to governmental regulations.
Subsequently, two crucial topics are critically discussed: 1) the methodological link
between epistemology and conflictual subjectivity (its roots in the operaista tradition,
the creative way it is employed in Border as Method, and some problematic elements it
raises); 2) the compelling – but problematic from a practical perspective – way in which
the issue of political organisation is situated against the current phase of capitalist development
by means of concepts such as translation and the common
Ecological Crisis and Processes of Subjectivation
No full textToday at the dawn of XXI century,are we witnessing an environmentalcrisis? Surprisingly enough, this apparently naive question is not simply rhetorical. In fact, despite the talk aboutglobal warming, nuclear energy, toxic pollution, ozone layer depletion, peak oil, for example, the current ecological crisis has less to do with the preservation or destruction of the so-called “natural world” than with a crisis of interpretation of this “natural world”, that is to say with its putatively indisputable objective determination
