InhalteAs the philosophical, religious, and historical systems that have produced the “individual” (and its counterparts, society and community) over the years continue to break down, the age of “dividuality” is now upon us. Dividuality comes with intensified exploitation and subservience taking place under contemporary machinic capitalism. Algorithms, derivatives, big data, and social media technology all contribute to the rampant expansion of divisive management strategies and desires for self-division. The good news, however, is that this same terrain of dividuality also invites for new kinds of resistance.
In the seminar, we will start from close readings of parts of Dividuum and Stefano Harney and Fred Moten's new book All Incomplete, but also listen to music, watch films and discuss art works along the lines of the topics of Dividuality and Incompletion.
