Cybernetic Circulation Complex
An anti-capitalist guide to breaking the power of Big Tech Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In this brilliant survey of global tech economy, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google, Palantir and Uber, is in the automation of circulation. By applying digital technologies to processes of market exchange—everything from advertising and shopping, to logistics and financial services—Big Tech aims to subject these activities to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production. But there is a way out of the multiple crises that Big Tech has helped ...

Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In this brilliant survey of global tech economy, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google, Palantir and Uber, is in the automation of circulation. By applying digital technologies to processes of market exchange-everything from advertising and shopping, to logistics and financial services-Big Tech aims to subject these activities to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production. But there is a way out of the multiple crises that Big Tech has helped precipitate. If we are to break their grip on the global econom...
Sensing Health
In the age of Apple Watches and Fitbits, the concept of “health” emerges through an embodied experience of a digital health device or platform, not simply through the biomedical data it provides. Sensing Health: Bodies, Data, and Digital Health Technologies analyzes popular digital health technologies as aesthetic experiences to understand how these devices and platforms have impacted the way individuals perceive their bodies, behaviors, health, and well-being. By tracing design alongside embodied experiences of digital health, Kressbach shows how these technologies aim to quantify, track and regulate the body, while at the same time producing moments that bring the body’s affordances ...
L’assistenza come sistema. Dal controllo sociale agli apparati previdenziali: San Marino tra età moderna e contemporanea
Nel corso dell’età moderna i meccanismi assistenziali, sotto la spinta di una povertà sempre più diffusa e appariscente, subiscono delle profonde trasformazioni. Da un’assistenza a carattere privato ed episodico, basata sulla beneficenza, gestita da corporazioni, confraternite, ospizi ed ordini religiosi, si passa a forme di intervento più stabili ed organiche, come risultato di un impegno pubblico e laico da parte di organi di governo cittadini o dei primi apparati statali. L’approdo di questo processo è la nascita, tra XIX e XX secolo, del moderno Stato sociale, che implica la crescente assunzione di ogni responsabilità nei confronti di poveri e bisognosi da parte degli enti pu...

Microbios y cáncer
A principios del año 2023, la leyenda del tenis Martina Navratilova, de 66 años, anunció que había sido diagnosticada de dos tipos de cáncer, uno de mama y otro de garganta, originado por el virus del papiloma humano. Solo en Estados Unidos, cada año son diagnosticados alrededor de 3500 casos de cánceres orofaríngeos asociados con el virus del papiloma humano en mujeres y 16 200 en hombres. Según la OMS, alrededor del 5 % de los cánceres son provocados por infecciones del virus del papiloma humano. Algunos microorganismos tienen un profundo impacto en la patogénesis del cáncer. De hecho, casi el 20 % de los cánceres malignos en humanos están relacionados con infecciones microbi...
Neither Vertical nor Horizontal
A decade ago, a wave of mass mobilisations described as "horizontal" and "leaderless" swept the planet, holding the promise of real democracy and justice for the 99%. Many saw its subsequent ebb as proof of the need to go back to what was once called "the question of organisation". For something so often described as essential, however, political organisation remains a surprisingly under-theorised field. In this book, Rodrigo Nunes proposes to remedy that lack by starting again from scratch. Redefining the terms of the problem, he rejects the confusion between organisation and any of the forms it can take, such as the party, and argues that organisation must be understood as always supposing a diverse ecology of different initiatives and organisational forms. Drawing from a wide array of sources and traditions that include cybernetics, poststructuralism, network theory and Marxism, Nunes develops a grammar that eschews easy oppositions between "verticalism" and "horizontalism", centralisation and dispersion, and offers a fresh approach to enduring issues like spontaneity, leadership, democracy, strategy, populism, revolution, and the relationship between movements and parties.
