Colonization and Rationality: Science as an Instrument of Domination, from Yesterday to Today

What if #colonization was the ultimate end that shapes #science, #technology, and #rationality? From the #HydraulicEmpire to Silicon Valley, the #concentration of #knowledge always serves #expropriation and #hierarchization. It is time to question the #uses of science. #decolonial #technology #Merchant #Cusicanqui #Quijano #Dewey #Haraway #Harding #Barad #Serres #philosophy…

Haraway: Situated Objectivity — An Epistemological Revolution and Expanding Perspectives

#Haraway revolutionizes science: objectivity is no longer a view from nowhere but an anchored, critical, and multiple knowing. Every perspective matters; none is absolute.

Contre la clôture : l’élan vital et la critique de la représentation

Face à la #sociétéDuContrôle et de la #prédiction, l’#élanVital appelle à dépasser la simple #représentation – qu’elle soit occidentale ou coloniale. #Barthes, #Baudrillard, #Lefort, #Foucault ou #Cusicanqui : tous montrent qu’#inventer, c’est #résister à la #clôture. #décolonial #postMarxisme #postPolis Dans un monde dominé par la logique du contrôle (Deleuze) et la fièvre de la prédiction…

Comment la colonialité façonne pouvoir, savoir et être : regards croisés sur une domination persistante

La #colonialité n’est pas qu’une affaire de passé : elle traverse nos rapports de #pouvoir, de #savoir et d’#être. #Quijano, #Cusicanqui, #Stiegler, #Foucault, #Habermas permettent d’en décrypter la #complexité et d’ouvrir des #brèchesCritiques. #décolonial #savoirs #philosophie #postMarxisme La colonialité n’a pas disparu avec les drapeaux des empires.

Modern #technoBureaucracy, heir to Promethean myth of endless growth, demands triple decolonization: 1) post-Marxist, of promises of the #technicalSystem (#Arendt, #Mignolo, #Escobar, #Mumford), 2) material and immaterial of #center/ #periphery relationships (#Amin, #Cusicanqui, #Ferdinand), 3) decolonization of nature itself, listening to #subaltern voices and other epistemologies (#Spivak, #Harding). Decolonization also means de-anthropocentrating the world, beyond #Prometheus.
