For quantum physicist Karen Barad, reality is one of entangled phenomena that always obey quantum laws. (Barad 2007: 118 ff.) Each phenomenon comprises its own past and future, which are then created as times as soon as the coordinates of a phenomenon are determined by an acting cut in physical measurement qua material discursive apparatuses.…

Während die Akkumulation des Kapitals zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eine Verschiebung der arbeitenden Bevölkerung von der Landwirtschaft in die Industrie mit sich brachte, kam es am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts zumindest in den kapitalistischen Kernländern zum Transfer des Kapitals aus den industriellen Produktionsbereichen in die Finanz-, Dienstleistungs- und Informationssektoren und zog damit eine Deindustrialisierung…

Abstract: The surplus population, especially in the global South, has long since become a structural category within the political economy. This vast population group suffers from long-term underemployment and is forced to earn a vital income in the informal economies of the megacity slums. Additionally, it is supplemented by internationally migrating refugees who are fleeing…

Enrico Tomaselli Eine Sache, die wir manchmal vergessen, ist, dass die Menschen – die Völker – die Ereignisse im Lichte ihrer eigenen Geschichte, ihrer eigenen Kultur betrachten, die manchmal sehr unterschiedlich sein können. Das gilt natürlich für alles, und so ist auch der Krieg keine Ausnahme. Wenn man dann noch bedenkt, dass der Krieg nicht…

Discussion between Anna Newspeak and Achim Szepanski Anna Newspeak: Perhaps it is precisely nontological not to write, since non-writing is closest to the movement of nothingness. It remains to be remembered that although Derrida did a great job of pursuing the difference between voice and writing to the detriment of writing, today it is nevertheless…

Baudrillard writes: “The only revolutionary transformation in things today comes not from their dialectical transcendence, but from raising them to the power of x, whether it be the revolution of terrorism, irony or simulation. It is not dialectics that are happening today, but ecstasy. Thus terrorism is an ecstatic form of violence, the state an…

The real is initially defined as the given-without-given, which also means that we cannot observe the real without a minimal concept. As a unilateral causality that goes primarily in one direction, namely from the real to the world of thought, the real simultaneously signifies a (unilateral) duality, that of the given-without-givenness and the given, the…

For a further explanation of the concept of capital, we refer to French philosopher François Laruelle, who, in his conception of non-philosophy, speaks of “unilateral duality”. He generally first assumes that two or more terms and their relations are always determined by one term. This is the principle of idempotency: 1+1=1. (Laruelle: 2010) The second…

Laruelle offers a conception that links quantum theory as a science with philosophy. For Laruelle, the transcendental and the a priori have clearly changed their content and meaning in philosophy today. Philosophy remains transcendental insofar as its definition as a priori involves a superimposition and an interweaving that interweaves the quantum real and the universe.…
