"Necropolitics is the use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some must die. The deployment of necropolitics creates what Achille Mbembe calls deathworlds, or "new and unique forms of social existence in which vast populations are subjected to living conditions that confer upon them the status of the living dead.""

#Necropolitics

#AI #GenerativeAI #Algorithms #Necropolitics: "A movement to replace AI will call into question both material and conceptual boundaries and will mobilise care and mutual aid in the face of abstractions that enact actual violence. Researchers and social movements can’t restrict themselves to reacting to the machinery of AI but need to generate social laboratories that prefigure alternative socio-technical forms. The need to put down all machinery hurtful to the commonality calls for a structural renewal based on socially useful production and the creation of more convivial technologies."

For our next session of our reading group we will read Achille #Mbembé (2003) #Necropolitics. In the essay, Mbembé engages with #Foucault’s concept of biopolitics to discuss sovereignty in the context of the instrumentalisation of human existence and the material destruction of human bodies and populations. #DiscourseAnalysis

Achille Mbembe: Necropolitics

#necropolitics

“Exacerbation of the potentiality for death is embedded in the US #asylum seeking system” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277953623000709 @immigration #necropolitics #immigration #borders @geography #publichealth #globalhealth #structuralviolence #USMexicoborder #ethnography #postcolonialism #criminalization

“…critical theorist Achille Mbembe first described the role of extreme violence in the functioning of larger biopolitical orders as #necropolitics—not merely a state’s right to kill and to organise people to be killed (as opposed to live), but to expose them to extreme violence & death and reduce entire segments of populations to the barest and most precarious existence. All in order to preserve the established economic and political hierarchies of the capitalist system.” https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2020/7/15/from-neoliberalism-to-necrocapitalism-in-20-years/

@emilygorcenski When humanity gets wiped out, we can all thank men like #JackDorsey for whining they, who had the most privilege, couldn't do anything about it. Such a wimp, a turd, it's pathetic. I'll go back to reading the accounts of all the incredibly brave men & women who at their level did & do everything they can to #resist #necropolitics #cronyism in #Ukraine #HongKong #Iran, in #localcommunities across the world. All we have time for is inspiration. Best of luck to you!

Necropolitics: policies that kill people. A new word for me, but it describes concepts I’ve believed for decades. I think I’ll start using it as a hashtag.
