IAS Invited Lecture Series in Postcollectivity
Lecture by Brett Zehner “Grey Guattari: The Production of Subjectivity and the Behavioral Schema of White Supremacy” (25.05.2023 17:00 CEST GTM +2).
Grey Guattari is a lecture exploring two critical concepts for the rise of white supremacy online. The first concept is the idea of the production of subjectivity developed by Felix Guattari in his institutional analysis and clinical practice. Guattari wrote that capitalism rolls out new human identities like a new line of automobiles. This concept is essential regarding recent technological developments of racial capitalism – namely, the production of white supremacy. The second concept I will cover in this lecture is the behavioral regime. Although much has been written on the history of cybernetics and its role in developing computational technologies, the main epistemic thread undergirding contemporary digital media is a behavioral schema that quantifies and reduces human life into what Shoshana Zuboff calls behavioral surplus. Finally, I call this lecture grey Guattari to indicate a kind of ambivalence to white supremacy beyond an epidermal schema toward a behavioral and psychological profile of white supremacy.
