Bernard Stiegler: From the new Spirit of Capitalism to the Lost Spirit and Mind of Capitalism (1&2)

Introducing and Situating the work of Stiegler within the conjuncture of risk management and its economy of carelessness with be an overarching part of tonight's session. Readings: 1. From Technics and Time, Volume I , the General Introduction , pages 1-18. The three myths of modernity and the framing of the hyperindustrial Time as technics (a rethinking of Heidegger's techne). 2. From The Lost Spirit of Capitalism, "Sociopathology of May 1968," pages 1-41. Steigler's attempt through a creative critique and displacement to overcome the limitations of Boltanski's and Chiapello's The New Spirit of Capitalism. Stiegler will point to a lost spirit, not a new spirit that informs and puntuates our era. From the first session on Stiegler: Myth as narrative beginning: We engaged three myths that constitute our epoch:1) Prometheus, 2)his brother Epimetheus, and 3) Sisyphus ( the modern myth for Albert Camus) . All three basically have agency in differing degrees: Prometheus- the act of theft of Knowledge from those who make , the patron saint of the early Karl Marx. Punished for his theft for his audacity and risk taking, this may be part of the Faustian bargain we are suffering from especially around climate change and extreme crisis in overproduction. Prometheus makes up for the fault of his brother , Epimetheus with the gift of exteriorization , putting us outside of ourselves. Epimetheus: the place of the default- technics is temporally prior to the human. This sets up the story of technical evolution and transformation ; in many cases, a passive dialectical movement, our prosthetic nature.. Sisyphus: the stoic consciousness that is consistently aware of the Stieglerian dialectic of being disenchanted yet starting over at the foot of the mountain with a re-enchantment to roll the rock back up the mountain. Beckett's "I'll go on , I can't go on, I'll go on " resonates here . Active agency but often without results...? But perhaps , we reinvent ourselves via technical and social objects ? 2. Relationship of Stiegler to Heidegger particulary from the existential analytic in Being and Time to the 1955 lecture , "Die Frage nach der Technik," translated as "The Question Concerning Technology." The distinction made between the philosophical episteme and the sophistical techne (page 1 of volume I of Technics and Time) and pages 13 and 14 in the William Lovitt translation of The Question concerning Technology. 3. Remark on Der Ister (2004 ) : an essay film , one primarliy on the Greek notion of poesis - Stiegler speaks in the film to the connection of Dasein's ( there-being) historical existence to the role of technicity . Holderlin's poem of 1803 , Der Ister, is the starting point and the point of departure in this film and there is a recording of Heidegger reading it . He devoted a 1942 seminar to this poem. 4. Questions of Stiegler's proposed alternatives ( TOLOA versus the TINA syndrome- there are lots of alternatives) - we will encounter the possibilities of the associated milieu , the economy of contributions,and the taking care of generations inter alia ... 5. Stiegler and Marx ?- Alienation. Disenchantment , symbolic misery as themes . General fragment on Machines (pages 690-720 in the Grundrisse), forces and relations of production in Marx and how do these relate to Stiegler's version of Libinal economy 6. Bodies that Matter: Questions for Stiegler Please treat these remarks as general guides that may orient our different levels of abstraction. Michael
