  [Tweeting molecules of the day]:

  06:11 i´ll be assisting to Manuel DeLanda´s conference at the Centro Nacional de las Artes tinyurl.com/y8bjep2 #

  06:12 my problem is that while I admire his work, it also annoys my social sensibility.. I don´t know if i should try to ask him a sort of things #

  06:15 the point is that the more i read about his fantastic work the more i see he is too pleasant with the endogenous scientific discourses.. #

  06:20 i have to say that this is nothing personal with Manuel: i feel this kind of annoyment also with Badiou´s & with Latour´s standpoints #

  11:52 ok lets see: I ranted how Delanda annoys my social sensitivity as i find he is too pleasant w the current endogenous scientific discourse.. #

  11:53 & I also said that this is the kind of annoyment that I also feel mostly in relation with Badiou´s & Latour´s work & tendencies #

  11:53 to my mind this has to do w their pragmatic departures as they cut on purpose the social relevance that might be implied by their own work #

  11:54 by doing this they make their work circulate in the scientific fields which discourse is refractive 2 any social or political questionnement #

  11:54 i was saying that philosophy is meant to respond firstly to social questions, and not only or exclusively to the scientific ones #

  11:55 & that is annoying 2 see how these guys cut this relevance just to figure & to feed the hermetic illusion of an absolute scientific autonomy #

  11:55 while this autonomy is meant also to be philosophically questioned.. #

  11:55 the solution of my problem w Delanda suddenly came while thinking how the discourse implied in his work is diferent from Badiou´s & Latour´s #

  11:56 the way DeLanda is introducing his idea of assemblage in2 these endogenous scientific fields is quite positive in comparison with these guys #

  11:56 eventho such idea is not condescend with all its original foucaultian-guattarian-marxian discoursive-subjective-economic implications #

  11:57 the fact that DeLanda insists in referring such idea as deleuzean, endorsing it2 Deleuze work is sthing very positive at the end of the day #

  11:58 eventho its radically diff from the original term agencement: not 2 say how 2 my mind its almost another totally different conceptualization #

  11:59 the fact that Manuel proposed a "new" social philosophy right after proposing his philo of virtual science is another (+) thing to consider #

  11:59 this means that he isnot cutting all the social implications of philo but introducing them in2 these refractive fields but in a pleasant way #

  12:00 in the way these fields would accept such subversive intervention as part of their hermetic philo-delusional-autonomical-discoursive effect #

  12:01 in comparison w Badiou&Latour its 4sure DeLanda is still considering the social & introducing it w/o selling his soul 2the scientific fields #

  12:02 altho this comparison can be unfounded regarding 2their respective specific "text": DeLanda´s pragmatic interest is not signed as impotency #

  12:03 of course these 3 philo-figures, their trajectory & position are diff from each other: but still oriented to please these scientific fields #

  12:04 Badiou´s depontencialized non spinozian anti-relational resentful philosophy is all the way coopted by the sci-field institutional effect #

  12:04 so Badiou emerges himself as the analytical philosopher of impotency: a philosophical sentinel of the bureaucratic scientific institution #

  12:05 2this point, Latour´s anti-social de-humanized standpoints are situated in the middle of the philosophical & sociological discoursive fields #

  12:06 his views´r born as a systematic counter-argumentation against the bourdieusian pov: so4him the social is a laboratory invention of the text #

  12:07 while bourdieuian analysis imply a relational politics of the fields Latour´s easyways mean a politicized associations of objectual networks #

  12:08 instead DeLandas pov is still situated as part of the sociological fields despite he divides relations in interiority/exteriority mechanisms #

  12:09 thus, DeLanda´s philo of assemblages is still to introduce a reductive reminiscence of the social into the hermetic scientific discourse #

  12:09 despite his theory reveal not the conditions of production of such sci-fields & makes no harm 2 the illusion of its absolute autonomy effect #

  12:10 to my mind, compared w Badiou´s & Latour´s work, DeLanda´s philo of assemblages remains propositive as it doesnot give the back to society #

  12:11 of course, within these critical reflections that I am sharing & broadcasting now, the annoyment is now transformed in a positive way #
