  • Reading William Morris, Peter Kropotkin, Ursula K. Le Guin, and PM in the Light of Digital Socialism
    tripleC 18(1): 146-186, 2020 http://www.triple-c.at The Utopian Internet, Computing, Communication, and Concrete Utopias: Reading William Morris, Peter Kropotkin, Ursula K. Le Guin, and P.M. in the Light of Digital Socialism Christian Fuchs University of Westminster, London, [email protected], http://fuchs.uti.at Abstract: This paper asks: What can we learn from literary communist utopias for the creation and organisation of communicative and digital socialist society and a utopian Internet? To pro- vide an answer to this question, the article discusses aspects of technology and communica- tion in utopian-communist writings and reads these literary works in the light of questions con- cerning digital technologies and 21st-century communication. The selected authors have writ- ten some of the most influential literary communist utopias. The utopias presented by these authors are the focus of the reading presented in this paper: William Morris’s (1890/1993) News from Nowhere, Peter Kropotkin’s (1892/1995) The Conquest of Bread, Ursula K. Le Guin’s (1974/2002) The Dispossessed, and P.M.’s (1983/2011; 2009; 2012) bolo’bolo and Kartoffeln und Computer (Potatoes and Computers). These works are the focus of the reading presented in this paper and are read in respect to three themes: general communism, technol- ogy and production, communication and culture. The paper recommends features of concrete utopian-communist stories that can inspire contemporary political imagination and socialist consciousness. The themes explored include the role of post-scarcity, decentralised comput- erised planning, wealth and luxury for all, beauty, creativity, education, democracy, the public sphere, everyday life, transportation, dirt, robots, automation, and communist means of com- munication (such as the “ansible”) in digital communism.

  • Fictions and Theories of the Posthuman from Creature to Concept
    Université de Liège Faculté de Philosophie et Lettres Département de Langues Modernes : Linguistique, Littérature et Traduction Fictions and Theories of the Posthuman From Creature to Concept Thèse de doctorat présentée par Carole GUESSE en vue de l’obtention du titre de Docteure en Langues, Lettres et Traductologie sous la direction de Michel Delville et Björn-Olav Dozo Année académique 2019 - 2020 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a thesis may have been the most posthuman project that I have ever carried out; and I am not just relating this to how it has turned my computer into my unfailing memory, my faithful companion and, in the last few months, my main interface with the world. Reading daily about the refutation of the homogeneous, coherent, masterful, rational human subject has also made me more sensitive to the ways in which my interactions with human and non-human Others have been instrumental in bringing the present paper creature into existence. It truly takes a village. I want to express my sincerest thanks to my supervisor, Michel Delville, for unsparingly giving time, advice, trust and opportunities. Across this decade spent at the University of Liège, Pr Delville has steadily encouraged me to be curious, creative and confident in all my endeavours. My heartfelt gratitude also goes to my second supervisor, Björn-Olav Dozo, for opening me up to new horizons, for making me part of a vibrant community of researchers and for providing unwavering intellectual and moral support. His enthusiasm, trust and devotion never failed to lift me up and higher. Many thanks also to Christine Pagnoulle and Dick Tomasovic for their early interest in my project, their enlightened feedback and their encouragement; and to Katherine Hayles and Florence Caeymaex for agreeing to participate in its last stages.
