Autonomous education, new institutions and the experimental economy of network cultures

Sociality is always immanent to institutional arrangements. This was the analysis of Althusser and later Foucault. The state, family, school, prison, hospital, madhouse. During the time of Western modernity as it is commonly understood, we can add the corporation, the union, the university. Foucault's tendency was to see this institutional field in terms of the technologies of discipline. My interest in this essay is to consider technologies of invention as they centre on the question of durational projects. What institutional form might such technologies assemble? What are the conditions of their emergence? What are the technics of governance that distinguish them? How do they connect to other institutions and what is their economy? What is the relationship between the construction of the common - understood as processes of translation constituted through struggles of labour - and its differential potential or multiplying affects? And how might this relation constitute a new institutional form?
