Political philosophy of the future
15-16 Novembro, 2019
The task of tracing the new frontiers of the political
implies a critical effort that faces a double difficulty: first of all, the
confrontation between contemporary political theory and the virtual speed of
the present that results in a complex delimitation and circumscription of a new
hermeneutic horizon of the public space; and a second obstacle that consists of
the construction of the concept of Cyberpolitics itself that, by its
paradigmatic nature, involves a transformation and metamorphosis which we will
also try to map.
This effort will require a genealogical investigation into the
concept of Cyberpolitics which derives from Cyberculture studies, but also the
mapping of its different levels and fields of significance. This
work-in-progress notion, in the crossroads of politics and aesthetics, will be
challenged different perspectives. The analysis on the construction of the
concept of Cyberpolitics, which will permit us to address the changes in the
political regarding its technological implications in reshaping the public
space, will also allow us to underline the notion of crisis as an operating
concept. The current political and economic problems of the western world seem
to indicate a possible cyberpolitical shock. The clash is probably due to the possible
paradigm shift.
We know from history that our fundamental confrontation is
with the unimaginable, in the same way that for man of the Middle Ages the
political organization of the present would be unthinkable. Consequently, the
foundation of political imagination is freedom. Are we ready to imagine the
consequences of the installation of the cyberpolitical paradigm? Will
Cyberpolitics, in its promise to install a second nature, constitute a
substantial change? Is it a second nature towards a new political anthropology?
Or are we just witnessing a change of medium that can blur the border between
freedom and alienation? In fact, technology and new media are the central
conceptual characters in the political beginning of the 21st century. Cyberpolitics
is the concept that can help us understand this paradigmatic change in the
present that will certainly imply a review of all the categories of the legal
and political building.
