Although Nietzsche never mentioned the term geophilosophy or geoaesthetics, from his work emanates a thought connected to the Earth, and to a new direction for the Earth, in order to achieve the Übermensch. Geoaesthetics is assumed as the latent purpose of Nietzschean geophilosophy, aiming to build the world from the artist's figure. And all can be artists, when thinking and constructing, critically and creatively, one direction to Earth (Sinn der Erde). This construction presupposes a Menschen-Erde, that is, a planetarian humanity – that might be attained communally through new medial practices. Now, with the expansion of territories through technics, construction isn't exclusive to real space, but also concerns virtual or outer space architectures. This is an attempt to read the notion of CyberParks through Nietzschean perspective and regards the implementation of land art and site-specfic art projects as further developments of a CyberPark. ; Funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union. ; peer-reviewed

This text is a partial and provisional result of a postdoctoral research in progress at the Scuola Normale Superiore de Pisa/Italia under the supervision of the philosopher Roberto Espósito. It is observed the in these first decades of the 21st century Italian philosophical thought, for some of reasons that we will try to explain below, has been the object of great worldwide interest, becoming the subject of numerous seminars, books and articles. The text tries to evaluate whether there would be something like an "Italian philosophy" beyond the national belonging of those who contributed to its construction. Can speak of an Italian Theory? If the answer to this question is affirmative, what would be its specificites?

This article is an interview with Elizabeth Grosz by Kathryn Yusoff and Nigel Clark. It primarily addresses Grosz's approaches to 'geopower', and the discussion encompasses an exploration of her ideas on biopolitics, inhuman forces and material experimentation. Grosz describes geopower as a force that subtends the possibility of politics. The interview is accompanied by a brief contextualizing introduction examining the themes of geophilosophy and the inhumanities in Grosz's work.

Heathen Earth: Trumpism and Political Ecology looks beyond the rising fortunes of authoritarian nationalism in a fossil-fueled late capitalist world to encounter its conditions. Trumpism represents an alternative to the forces undermining the very cosmology of the modern West from two opposing directions. The global economy, the pinnacle of modernization, has brought along a dark side of massive inequality, corrupt institutions, colonial violence, and environmental destruction, while global warming, the nadir of modernity, threatens to undo the foundations of all states and all markets. To the vertigo of placelessness, symptomatic of globalization, is added the ecological vertigo of landlessness. With reality slowly fragmenting, it is only too obvious in this light that Trumpism and other nationalist movements would attract massive hordes of supporters. Promising to expel foreigners and to restore unity and equality by taking power back from the global elites, while utterly denying the climate science that calls ordinary means of subsistence and consumption radically into question, Trumpism can be seen as an antidote to the toxic combination of global markets and global warming. The irony, of course, is that Trumpism only responds to these dangers by doubling down on the reckless expansionist logic that gave rise to them in the first place. This book, composed entirely between November 8, 2016 and January 20, 2017, examines Trumpism according to its regime of political representation (despotism), its political ontology (nativism), and its political ecology (geocide), while laying the groundwork for an alternative politics and a resistant, responsive ecology of the incompossible

In the deep joint work Deleuze-Guattari there is the demand of consider it as a political theory of literature, a literary politics. The following paragraphs, to some extent respond to that demand, enroll the Deleuze-Guattari micropolitics in a concatenation between the revolutionary and artistic machines, in this case, literary. Considering this conjecture, in this article we propose to address the relationships between the concept of minor literature, the spatial dynamics (territorial) and the informative order. ; Existe en lo profundo de la obra conjunta Deleuze-Guattari la exigencia de considerarla como una teoría política de la literatura, una política literaria. Los párrafos que prosiguen, en cierta medida responden a dicha exigencia, inscriben la micropolítica de Deleuze-Guattari en una concatenación entre las máquinas revolucionarias y artísticas, en este caso, literarias. Considerando esta conjetura, en el presente artículo nos proponemos abordar las relaciones entre el concepto de literatura menor, las dinámicas espaciales (territoriales) y el orden informativo.

Dissertação de Mestrado Erasmus Mundus: Filosofias Francesa e Alemã no Espaço Europeu apresentada à Faculdade de Letras ; A dissertação visa em um primeiro momento uma reconstituição da metodologia de cartografia subjetiva em Deleuze e Guattari, apresentando o exemplo cartográfico proposto por Suely Rolnik e, finalement, na criação de um personagem conceitual nomeado como Venus Caôzeira. Esta abordagem deve ser entendida através da apresentação da metodologia presente no livro Cartografias Sentimentais: Transformações Contemporâneas do Desejo (sem Tradução), escritas por Suely Rolnik.Neste texto, Rolnik se baseia na géofilosofia de Deleuze e Guattari, tanto pela criação de personagens que traçam o plano de consistência e o plano de imanência do conceito e os respectivos investimentos de desejo, tanto pela conceituação dos três movimentos do desejo ou três linhas da vida: linhas de territorialização, linha de reterritorialização / simulação e linhas de desterritorialização / fuga. De acordo com Rolnik, os três movimentos do desejo estão no âmbito da reflexão sobre o que a geofilosofia trata enquanto devires e desejos, visualizando a paisagem psico-social específica e, no nosso caso a paisagem psico-social feminina.Suely Rolnik nos dará a criação de vinte e sete personagens conceituais em torno da análise do desejo feminino e de suas práticas amorosas. Nesta dissertação, nos concentraremos especificamente em dois desses personagens: o coronel-em-nós e a noivinha-antropófaga-tropicalista-carnavalesca.Os dois personagens conceituais incorporam essas linhas de desejo de acordo com seu modo de vida e suas políticas de subjetivação. Para mostrar a representação feminina no caráter conceitual coronel-em-nós usamos a figura mitológica da Vênus porque ela simboliza a forma tradicional da representação feminina. A segunda parte trata da figura da noivinha antropófaga tropicalista, descrita como a personagem capaz de criar novas subjetividades.Usando os personagens conceituais e análise do desejo feminino propostas por Suely Rolnik (Coronel-em-nós e noivinha antropófoga-tropicalista-carnavalista), a nossa ambição é revelar universos descoloniais femininos e feministas brasileiros, por meio do corpo teórico de Deleuze e Guattari com os personagens conceituais e a metodologia da cartografia sentimental. ; The dissertation aims at a first moment a reconstitution of the methodology of subjective cartography in Deleuze and Guattari, presenting the cartographic example proposed by Suely Rolnik and, finally, in the creation of a conceptual personage named Venus Caôzeira.This approach should be understood through the presentation of the methodology present in the book Sentimental Cartographies: Contemporary Transformations of Desire (without Translation), written by Suely Rolnik.In this text, Rolnik draws on the genius of Deleuze and Guattari, both for the creation of characters that trace the plane of consistency and the plane of immanence of the concept and the respective inversions of desire, both for the conceptualization of the three movements of desire or three lines of life: lines of territorialization, reterritorialization / simulation line and lines of deterritorialization / escape. According to Rolnik, the three movements of desire are in the scope of reflection on what geophilosophy treats as devires and desires, visualizing the specific psycho-social landscape and, in our case, the female psycho-social landscape.Suely Rolnik will give us the creation of twenty-seven conceptual characters around the analysis of feminine desire and its loving practices. In this dissertation, we will focus specifically on two of these characters: the colonel-in-us and the anthropophagous-tropical-carnival-bride.The two conceptual characters incorporate these lines of desire according to their way of life and their politics of subjectivation. To show the female representation in the conceptual character colonel-in-us we use the mythological figure of Venus because it symbolizes the traditional form of female representation. The second part deals with the figure of the tropicalist anthropophagous bride, described as the person capable of creating new subjectivities.Using the conceptual characters and analysis of feminine desire proposed by Suely Rolnik (Colonel-in-us and anthropophagous-tropicalist-carnivalist boyfriend), our ambition is to reveal Brazilian female and Brazilian feminist decolonial universes, through the theoretical body of Deleuze and Guattari with the conceptual characters and the methodology of sentimental cartography. ; Outro - Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès - Mirail .

We can no longer be certain whether the central terms and conceptual matrix that the Italian Autonomist Marxist tradition richly develops and draws on--the common, the general intellect, immaterial labour, psychopolitics, cognitariat--are able to survive unscathed the theoretical problems that the epoch of the Anthropocene poses. In an attempt to push this conceptual matrix to its political and ontological limits, I expose a series of "ecological deficits" at the core of Autonomist thought and make the argument that semiocapitalism is a geological operator just as much it is a cognitive, financial or linguistic one. This has a plethora of paradoxical implications that are constellated throughout the three chapters. The first chapter explores the non-mediatic conditions of possibility behind "mediation": following Jussi Parikka and Matteo Pasquinelli, the first "ecological deficit" emerges due to conflating the mediasphere with the subjective operations of the "sign" (semiotic flows of labour, knowledge, information) and "desire" (creative flows, libidinal energy, affects) as well as over-valuing the "general intellect" (the productive powers of the social brain) and its exclusive relation to the infosphere (knowledge transmission, big data, linguistic networks of communication), the cognitariat (social subjectivity, value-producing labour) and the technosphere (machines, fixed capital). The second chapter critiques Antonio Negri's ontological theory of value: following Silvia Federici and Jason W. Moore, the second "ecological deficit" emerges due to Autonomism's negligence of socially necessary unpaid work, non-human relations of reproduction and cheap nature that make possible value-producing labour; this chapter also, following Bernard Stiegler, critiques an ontology of the sign that privileges expressionism (immaterial semiotic productivity, meaning and epistemics) over impressionism (retentional systems of incarnation, reproduction and energetics). The third chapter develops a critique of representational eco-politics or the spectacular Anthropocene: following Jean Baudrillard and Yves Citton, the final "ecological deficit" emerges due to the hyperplasia of images, data and simulacra of the Anthropocene itself, whereby the referent is spectralized by the luminescent aura of the sign, resulting in complicated forms of irrelevance, boredom and attentional scarcities. Each chapter in its own way develops the speculative leitmotif of a "transcendental geology"--i.e. the claim that the earth is a condition of possibility for thought.

This paper will deploy Deleuze and Guattari's geophilosophy to read the political economy of contemporary Cambodia as a stratum that emerged from the deterritorializing mechanisms of the Khmer Rouge genocide and politicide. The recent documentary Enemies of the People offers a cinematic space for the unpunished and now-elderly executioners of Democratic Kampuchea to share their memories of these foundational events of mass murder, thereby forcing ruptures in the body politic of Cambodia through their revelations of the violent processes of deterritorialization that allowed the emergence of this high growth Southeast Asian economy. The paper will proceed by examining the double articulation of stratification in Cambodia, thereby excavating the bodies hidden by the processes of reterritorialization and overcoding, and will conclude with a speculative look at what these cinematic ruptures portend for becoming-Cambodia.

This article brings glass architecture and geophilosophy into a relationship with one another with the further aim of studying surface aesthetics of urban photography. First I present a selected history of glass architecture and its previous methodological applications. Then, I focus on the characteristics of glass architecture—its permeability/reflectivity and capacity to act with light—in relation to the geophilosophies of Nietzsche and Deleuze. I aim to formulate surface aesthetics through which I contemplate the materialities and the fabulative landscape of urban photography. Urban photography is valued for its characteristic of combining the practices of art and research. In this article, urban photography is also understood as an affectual encounter. However, for urban photography to be seen as a creative medium, it has to be acknowledged as not merely making aesthetic representations of the world but also opening a landscape in order to see it differently and ask new questions.

Modern western political thought revolves around globality, focusing on the partitioning and the connecting up of the earth's surface. But climate change and the Anthropocene thesis raise pressing questions about human interchange with the geological and temporal depths of the earth. Drawing on contemporary earth science and the geophilosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, this article explores how geological strata are emerging as provocations for political issue formation. The first section reviews the emergence – and eventual turn away from – concern with `revolutions of the earth' during the 18-19thC discovery of `geohistory'. The second section looks at the subterranean world both as an object of `downward' looking territorial imperatives and as the ultimate power source of all socio-political life. The third section weighs up the prospects of `earth system governance'. The paper rounds up with some general thoughts about the possibilities of`negotiating strata' in more generative and judicious ways.
