Simondonian discussions between the transindividual and the digital technologies
Abstract
In the last decade there has been a recurrent rehabilitation of Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy to think about the meaning and challenges of digital technologies for contemporary society. In this framework, taking as a pivotal point the interpretations of Simondon’s notion of the transindividual and the characterization of digital technologies (Web 2.0, Big data and machine learning), the paper reconstructs the problematic field established by a set of readings between 2012 and 2016, particularizes their theoretical operations and evaluates their different strategies. In this vein, after introducing the debate between Bernard Stiegler and Muriel Combes in the 1990s, it analyses the interpretations of Mark Hansen, Antoinette Rouvroy and Thomas Berns, Stiegler and Simon Mills
