Seminars
The notion of the Other is a key concept in contemporary thought. As such, it is highly complex, at times even contradictory. The seminar aims to bring clarity to this topic, by outlining the key features of the figure of the Other as it is portrayed in phenomenology, psychanalysis and Marxism. As part of this endeavor, we will examine notions such as the Big Other, the Other and God, the Other and the Ego, and the Other and Ideology. Read more on the course page.
This seminar approaches artificial intelligence not as a model of cognition or a substitute for human thought, but as a machinic assemblage that reorganises desire, labour, and planetary forms of life. Rather than asking whether AI can “think,” I investigate how AI participates in the production of subjectivity: how it reconfigures perception, affects, attention, and the conditions of planetary co-existence.
