This article is an examination and extension of concepts that Achille Mbembe presented in his 2016 African Studies Association Abiola Lecture. In particular, “cognitive assemblages” are elaborated upon to consider how a shifting understanding of media has become part of a neoliberal digital media platform promoted by the Ghanaian state in association with Malaysia. Mbembe’s invocation of the “injunction to decolonize” is also discussed through information capture and data mining to consider the extent to which the promise of a digital future is a form of neo-colonialism or an opportunity for an expanded digital commons.

媒体货币的生物政治：将加纳电影单位转变为TV3

本文是对Achille Mbembe在其2016年非洲研究协会Abiola讲座中提出的概念的考察和扩展。特别是，详细阐述了“认知组合”，以考虑对媒体的不断转变的理解如何成为加纳国家与马来西亚联合倡导的新自由主义数字媒体平台的一部分。还通过信息捕获和数据挖掘来讨论姆贝姆贝对“非殖民化的禁令”的援引，以考虑数字化未来的希望在多大程度上是新殖民主义形式或扩大的数字公地的机会。
