Fuori dalla pura politica. Laboratori globali della soggettività
No full textThe essay discusses some important contributions to the critical debates surround- ing the issues of political subjectivity and subjectivation (A. Badiou, J. Rancière, Ch. Mouffe, E. Laclau, É. Balibar). According to the authors the main limit of these con- tributions lies in the idea of a «pure politics» (S. Žižek), constructed upon the model of the modern State. This is clear both in theories of political subjectivity focused on the absolute present of an event and in theories that stress the importance of political and institutional articulation. Against the background of an analysis of current political developments in Latin America, the authors outline a different theory of political sub- jectivation, attempting to take stock of the crisis and transformations both of the State and of contemporary capitalism

No full textThis article starts from the Foucaultanian notions of biopower and discipline, deal- ing with the strategies of the modern and contemporary capitalism. Introducing the term biopower into his research, Foucault is alluding to a series of transformations re- lated to the capitalist system: life enters into the scope of power in terms of “controlled insertion of bodies” in the social apparatus of production, as well as in terms of an “adaptation of population phenomena to economic processes”. It involves the exchange of services on which the Fordist social pact was founded in the twentieth century. The life that is claimed in and against the relationship of capital concerns “needs” that refer to a “concrete essence of man”. In the undeniable awareness of a “triangulation” between sovereignty, discipline and biopower, the author, as a criterion for reading the dynamics of contemporary power, analyzes the theme of control referring to Deleuze. This is de- lineated in the double form of “biopolitical algorithms” and of the normalization that by means of the selection and targeted processing of big data and information packages, incessantly produced by social activity in and on the network, capture forms of life at the service of capitalism

Una filosofia prima della filosofia. Royer-Collard, Jouffroy, Cousin
No full textFocusing
on the debate with conservative counterrevolution on the one hand and the revolutionary
philosophy of the subject on the other, French liberalism in the first half of the
XIX century (Royer-Collard, Jouffroy, Cousin) proposed not a philosophy of politics
but, rather, a politics of philosophy with a view to stabilizing postrevolutionary society.
In reconstructing this politics of philosophy, the Author concentrates on the
rehabilitation of philosophy as rational discourse (against the counterrevolution), on
the recovery of the networks of social knowledge produced by common sense (against
the philosophy of the Revolution) and, above all, on the theory of impersonal reason
developed at the Sorbonne after its reopening at the beginning of the Restauration. The
philosophy of the doctrinarians is presented as a crucial moment in the strategy of a
«governmental liberalism» of the kind that French liberals were aiming for
