Virtuosity, processual democracy & organised networks

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Organised networks, as they subsist within the material and immaterial dimensions of new communications media such as the Internet, activate the possibility of processual democracy. Such a political formation de-ontologises the media of communication, creating media-information systems that are conditioned by the empirics, labour and affects of "trans-individual collectives" (Deleuze, 2004: 89). A processual democracy is one that unleashes the unforseen potential of affects as they resonate from the common of labour-power. A processual democracy is one that goes beyond the state-civil society relation. That relation is one that no longer exists.
