Anaesthetic Violence: Technology, Affect and the Politics of Ease

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talk

Description

Presentation of my current research, which concerns the “outsourcing” of conscience and awareness that is an inevitable side-effect of our reliance on increasingly capable and autonomous technologies. It seeks to develop alternatives to the fixation on individual agency and the thinking and feeling “I” that are central to traditional Western conceptions of politics and ethics.
