ABSTRACT With the rise of new digital, smart and algorithmic technologies, it is claimed, ‘the human’ is being fundamentally re-mediated. For some, this is problematic: digitally colonised by capitalism at the level of gesture, affect and habit, it is argued, we are now increasingly politically disaffected. There are also, however, more hopeful socio-political visions: Michel Serres, for example, argues that, in delegating habits of mental processing and synthesising to digital technologies, millennials have honed cognitive conditions for a more ‘intuitive’ mode of being-in-the-world. While there is no necessary link between intuition and progressive social transformation, there are, this essay argues, significant resonances between the ‘intuitive digital subjects’ that Serres imagines and the logics and sensibilities of new networked social movements like Occupy and Black Lives Matter. Vitally enabled by digital technologies, these activisms combine a tendency to oppose exploitation and oppression with a capacity to sense change as it is happening and thus remain radically open to alternative futures.

数字趋势:直觉、算法思维和新社会运动

摘要 据称,随着新的数字、智能和算法技术的兴起,“人类”正在从根本上得到修复。对一些人来说,这是有问题的:有人认为,资本主义在姿态、情感和习惯层面进行了数字化殖民,我们现在在政治上越来越不满。然而,也有更有希望的社会政治愿景:例如,Michel Serres 认为,在将心理处理和综合的习惯委托给数字技术时,千禧一代已经磨练了认知条件,以实现更“直观”的融入模式。 -世界。虽然直觉和渐进的社会变革之间没有必要的联系,但本文认为,塞雷斯想象的“直观的数字主题”与新的网络社会运动(如“占领”和“黑人的命也是命”)的逻辑和敏感性之间产生了重大共鸣。在数字技术的大力推动下,这些激进主义将反对剥削和压迫的趋势与感知正在发生的变化的能力相结合,从而对替代未来保持彻底的开放态度。
