Neon Genesis Capital, cyberpunk modernity and a possible ecological accelerationism
Keywords:
Cybernetics; Capital; Modernity; Accelerationism; CyborgAbstract
The article seeks to (re)trace a possible narrative of modern Capital with the help of a mythology inherent to this period, cybernetic science fiction. Coupling with the imagetic-philosophical signs of “modern computer machine”, “technovirus” and “cyborg”, it initially investigates the changes of the three great machines thought by the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guatarri with a possible interpretation of the beginning of modernity of the historian Silvia Federici. Then, it proposes a possible diagnostic for machinic capitalism by adding the contributions of Karl Marx's machinery fragment in Grundrisse and the texts of Nick Land in his phase at the CCRU ”“ Cybernetic Culture Research Unit. Finally, it speculates an aesthetic proposition to Donna Haraway's cyber-philosophical ethics as a possible agent of the movement called “subjectivism acceleration” or “ecological accelerationism” and the hacking of Capital as phenomena capable of stopping the virulent advance of capitalist speeds.
