Article 27: Algorithmic politics.
By Eugenio Tisselli.
Eugenio Tisselli shares his thoughts on global, financial
dictatorship and Necrocapitalism, where politics itself is reduced to
market related executables based on algorithms of finance.
"The global financial dictatorship presents us with a paradox: while
the economic transactions capable of shifting the destinies of entire
countries are the result of performative language, it is language
itself that, in turn, is transformed and subjected by the flows of
financial markets. Such a paradox may be understood as a negative
feedback loop: a relational process in which one of the actors of the
relationship is amplified and expanded (the economy) while the other
is weakened and submitted (language). The effects of this paradoxical
feedback loop on politics are evident and clear: the linguistic
exchange which feeds the public sphere, and therefore the possibility
of thinking about the democratic organization of society, diminishes
and becomes neutralized because of its submission to the market, up
to the point of canceling politics itself."
