Charting the emergence of a new and disobedient self-government of the precarious.
Táto séria sa ponorí do hlbín budúcnosti a skúma zložité vzťahy medzi technologickým pokrokom, spoločenskými zmenami a ľudskou kondíciou. Každý príbeh odhaľuje nové svety a potenciálne trajektórie našej civilizácie. Je to úvaha o tom, ako sa ľudstvo prispôsobuje radikálnym transformáciám a čo to znamená pre našu identitu a slobodu. Je to výzva na zamyslenie sa nad našou súčasnou cestou a nad tým, kam nás môže zaviesť.




Charting the emergence of a new and disobedient self-government of the precarious.
For Marc Augé, best-selling author of Non-Places, the prevailing idea of “the Future” rests on our present fears of the contemporary world. It is to the future that we look for redemption and progress; but it is also where we project our personal and apocalyptic anxieties. By questioning notions of certainty, truth, and totality, Augé finds ways to separate the future from our eternal, terrified present and liberates the mind to allow it to conceptualize our possible futures afresh.
What is the relationship between capitalism and mental health? In his most unsettling book to date, Franco “Bifo” Berardi embarks on an exhilarating journey through philosophy, psychoanalysis and current events, searching for the social roots of the mental malaise of our age. Spanning an array of horrors – the Aurora “Joker” killer; Anders Breivik; American school massacres; the suicide epidemic in Korea and Japan; and the recent spate of “austerity” suicides in Europe – Heroes dares to explore the darkest shadow cast by the contemporary obsession with relentless competition and hyper-connectivity. In a volume that crowns four decades of radical intellectual work, Berardi develops the psychoanalytical insights of his friend Félix Guattari and proposes dystopian irony as a strategy to disentangle ourselves from the deadly embrace of absolute capitalism.From the Trade Paperback edition.
