NIETZSCHE IN THE AMAZON. FOR A NOMADOLOGY BEYOND ALGORITHMIC GOVERNMENTALITY
Vignola, Paolo
2016
Abstract
The paper attempts to read Antoinette Rouvroy’s concept of algorithmic governmentality as the main subject of what Bernard Stiegler called computational nihilism. Taking one of the giants of the Web, Amazon.com, as a symptom of such a nihilism whose process has been empowered by neo-liberalism, the paper tries to elaborate a new kind of relationship between technology, environment and social ties alternative to the accelerationist perspective. Eduardo Viveiros de Castro’s anthropological work provides some key elements in order to elaborate this kind of new political ecology based on Amazonian perspectivism. Starting from this consideration, political ecology could be presented as a kind of nomadology, while the latter could be understood in its turn as a way of placing Nietzsche’s perspectivism in the Amazon.
