Jnananand: Waste, PhD!” From Sadguru Shri. Matha Amritanandamayi Devi, Chancellor, M/s. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (University), as well as head and inspiration of a prominent Indian NGO, “Embrace the World”, and one of the world’s most renowned spiritual Masters, from Kerala, South India. During a darshan (spiritual embrace) in 2012. Matha Amritanandamayi (Amma) This is how my journey, linking volunteering grassroots projects and research in India, began, guided to a spiritual purpose through waste and waste management. Starting a PhD at the end of 2012 in Management, at Amrita School of Business, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (University), as Jnananand, the “one blessed in knowledge, knowledge as perception of the world from the heart chakra”. What a journey it has been for me! Om Amriteshwaryai Namaha. (“I bow down at your Holy Feet, in deep gratitude … of the path you inspired me to take.”) This journey took me through three continents - Europe, Asia and South America -in the course of volunteering in three countries (India, Bolivia and Brazil) and experiencing so many amazing 1 projects while meeting incredible people. Please excuse the length of this acknowledgment section, paying tribute to those who helped me in the course of seven years of my life. It would be impossible to sum up here the seven years of my journey and mention all the people who met and who touched me. All of you are in my prayers of gratitude. I would like to start by mentioning three major professors in my life, who have left us in the course of the seven years of the research journey: my father François Guidi, my life teacher and support, inspiring me to reach deeper, to give meaning to each and every step, and more importantly to always keep a humble and grateful heart. My professor of “genetics”, Pr. Giorgini Venturieri, from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, the first to host me officially in Brazil at UFSC, to give me a new perspective on the theory of evolution looking at collaboration instead of competition, new evolution theories. And my forro teacher at UFSC, Mr. Kauan Waltrick Cardoso, with whom I learned about flows, letting go, letting others express themselves, musicality and empowerment through nature. You all left us too soon, but you left so much behind. This thesis is a tribute to your presence and messages. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Jury, Jury Rapporteurs, Prof.ª Drª Angela Cristina Salgueiro Marquès, UFMG, Brazil, Prof. Olivier Germain, Université du Quebec a Montreal, Canada, director of thesis, Prof. Jean-Luc Moriceau, Institut des Mines Telecom Business School, Examiners, Prof. Marc Lemestrel, Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Spain, Prof. Hugo Letiche, University of Leicester, United Kingdom, Prof. Pascal Corbel, Université Paris Sud. I would like here to express my deepest gratitude for the guidance of my thesis director Prof. Jean- Luc Moriceau, Head of Doctoral education at IMT-BS, who gave me a voice, and inspired a new confidence to tell the story of this amazing journey, the story of ten years volunteering in field projects, transforming them into academic research, and most of all finding a way to give a voice to outcast communities. Thanks to him, a corporate NGO and consultancy person became a ii researcher, finding the right methods and tools to allow this transformation of experiences into experiments, academic results and discussions. He helped me to build bridges between worlds, to learn from each of them, and to deliver messages. Jean-Luc contributed hours of volunteering work, visiting my projects in Belo Horizonte, tirelessly teaching me how to write academically, writing articles, chapters of two books, giving a place to voices that had never been heard, never been spoken about, telling stories that do not fit in with patterns… A special thank you too Isabela and Arthur who kindly welcomed me into their lives and shared precious time with Jean-Luc … These hours, selflessly given, and his collaboration, have built true respect and a cherished friendship. I now want to give a massive hug to my friend Dr. Allen Gomes, who since the beginning of this academic adventure has shared ideas about our common passion for Social Innovation, and in the past two years has been such a teacher, providing amazing support to finish up that part of academic writing which has always been the toughest of all for me, way harder than negotiating with a “dono da droga” (the head of drug traffic in a favela). A special thank you to Virginie and Tom who patiently waited for our Skypes to be over! Heartfelt thanks go to the Vice-Chancellor of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (University), Dr Prof. Venkat Rangan, who made it possible for me to embark on this academic path, along with Prof. V.S. Somanath, Dean, Amrita School of Business. My heartfelt thanks go to the Dean of IMT-BS, Denis Guibard, and the Vice Dean, Estelle Assaf, whose kindness and friendship gave me such a boost in the final stages of the thesis! I would like to make a special mention here of Prof. Madeleine Besson, Head of the Doctoral School at IMT- BS, and Head of Research, for her endless support and trust in my work and approach. I want here to thank also the two other Professors that guided me through my PhD, at IMT-BS. Prof. Mary Carpenter, who gave me great insights into academic research and innovation, and in ASB Bangalore Prof. Amalendu Jiotishi who was the first to take me on that academic journey, teaching me for two years in India, on 12 topics as well as on economic and research reading, iii translating my environmental and humanist passions into academic work. And whom I am proud to call a friend today. Prof. Rick Miller who is hosting me in his lab in the CCA, UFSC, also guided me through academic writing and wrote two papers with me, who has also been my partner in crime, to set up recycling and community solutions: - “obrigado do fundo do coracao” Rick. Prof. Francisco de Paula Antunes Lima, Laboratório de Ergonomia e Organização do Trabalho, UFMG, for giving me the opportunity to work with Tomas Bauluino, W. “mon poto co.” doing his Master at the time and now on for his PhD, for his taking me on “his” team in Tomás Balduíno, and Prof. Mauricio Luis Sens, Departamento de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (DESA), UFSC, who gave us his friendly support on União com Rio Doce. Prof. Raphael Tobias de Vasconcelos Barros, Departamento de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental (DESA), UFMG. I also want to thank Prof. Marc Lemenestrel for our long conversations overlooking the Canopy in Barcelona, exchanging ideas on how to add more spirituality to our business worlds, to our work, and Prof. Olivier Germain and Prof. Hugo Letiche for giving me invaluable guidance. A special mention is to be made here for Prof. Bhumika Gupta, Associate Professor at IMT-BS for providing me with the opportunity to transfer my PhD in ASB, to IMT-BS, and to transfer my research work from Bangalore, India to Paris. As well as Mr. Jay Misra ex-Dean of Amrita School of Business and Dr. Krishnashree Achuthan, head of the Amrita Technology Business Incubator (Amrita TBI) who both gave me opportunities to test social innovative projects in Amrita University, as well as teach in my fields of Social Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation, Prof.ª Drª Ana Flavia Barros, Relações Internacionais, UnB for her friendship support and invaluable advice, Prof.ª Drª Marlene Grade, CCA, UFSC for her collaboration in the first steps of a social innovation incubator at UFSC. Thanks also to my dear friends for their tireless assistance with administrative processes: Sylvie Prehu, chargée de gestion et assistante de recherche, Fabiana Dassoler, Coordenadoria do curso de Pós-Graduação CCA UFSC, Ramesh Kalshetty, ASB Bangalore, and Daniela Rezende Riner, Assistente em Administração, Laboratório de Biotecnologia Neolítica, CCA, UFSC. iv A big thank you as well to Peter Thomas. I would also like to pay tribute to my colleagues and friends in Amritapuri ashram, from the ABC center, the Amala Bharatam campaigns, swamis and bramacharis, especially the ones that became friends through this Seva of composting and recycling, Br Gurudas, Br. Yogamrita Chaitanya, Br. Shubamrita Chaitanya; they were always kind, smiling, and guiding. My friend Matti Rajakylä, Akhilesh an exemplary sevite and a gentle giant! Peter Ash for his teachings. Unni, Mahita, Chidanand and all my friends from ASB, especially the PhD first batch! As well keeping the wonderful team of União com Rio Doce and our work in the favela of Morro Bela Vista, Belo Oriente.

  • An Interview with Bernard Stiegler Interview by Judith Wambacq

    An Interview with Bernard Stiegler Interview by Judith Wambacq

    ‘We have to become the quasi-cause of nothing – of nihil.’ An interview with Bernard Stiegler Interview by Judith Wambacq and Bart Buseyne Translation and introduction by Daniel Ross Abstract This interview with the philosopher Bernard Stiegler was conducted in Paris on 28 January 2015, and first appeared in Dutch translation in the journal De uil van Minerva. The conversation begins by discussing the fundamental place occupied by the concept of ‘technics’ in Stiegler’s work, and how the ‘constitutivity’ of technics does and does not relate to Kant and Husserl. Stiegler is then asked about his relationship with Deleuze, and he responds by focusing on the concept of quasi-causality, but also by arguing that there is a certain trajectory in Deleuze’s thought, situating his own philosophy in relation to its various moments. Stiegler is then asked to respond to the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks carried out three weeks prior to the interview. After making a couple of precautionary remarks, Stiegler relates such occurrences to the problem of what he calls ‘spiritual poverty’, to the intensification of ‘negative sublimation’ that can occur when there is a disconnection between the generations, and more generally to the growth of nihilism. All of these phenomena relate to the exploitation of technology by a virulent capitalism that irrationally believes that only the market is rational. After consideration of the complex historical relationship between Islam and modernization, and of both of these to Nietzsche’s ‘death of God’, and after recalling the destructive role played by the West in the rise of fundamentalism and jihadism, Stiegler concludes by reflecting on the fact that, ultimately, ‘intellectuals’ have failed to use technologies in ways that produce alternatives to consumerism.

    Stiegler and Derrida on Technics and Cultural Politics by Robert Sinnerbrink

    2/17/2016 TRANSFORMATIONS Journal of Media & Culture ISSN 1444­3775 2009 Issue No. 17 — Bernard Stiegler and the Question of Technics Culture Industry Redux: Stiegler and Derrida on Technics and Cultural Politics By Robert Sinnerbrink [1] In the conclusion to his landmark 1996 study, Derrida and the Political, Richard Beardsworth outlines “two possible futures” for Derridean deconstruction. The first he describes as a “left-wing Derrideanism,” which would foreground “Derrida’s analysis of originary technicity,” and develop the supplementary logic of the trace “in terms of the mediations between [the] human and the technical” (Derrida and the Political 156). Such a future has been powerfully realised in the work of Bernard Stiegler, notably in his massive multi-volume work Technics and Time (1994- 2001), of which only volumes one and two have so far been translated into English. [2] The second possible future for deconstruction, what Beardsworth dubs “right-wing Derrideanism,” is perhaps more familiar. The latter, Beardsworth suggests, would pursue “Derrida’s untying of the aporia of time from both logic and technics,” and argue that it is the gift of time that remains to be thought; such a path would enact a messianic promise that requires a Derridean mobilization of religious discourse, and a “passive” orientation towards the advent of the future, of the incalculable “to-come” (Derrida and the Political 156). [3] Although Beardsworth then immediately qualifies this apparent opposition, stating that there is here, in fact, “no answer and no choice” (156), that what we have, rather, is an aporetic dynamic between the one and the other, there is nonetheless a clear sense in which his book – one that carefully situates Derrida’s thought within the history of philosophical reflection on the political from Kant and Hegel to Marx and Heidegger – affirms the “Left-Derridean” path while critically questioning its “Right-Derridean” counterpart.

    Stiegler and the Lost Spirit of Capitalism. in G. Moore and C

    This is a pre-press version of Roberts, B., 2013. Memories of Inauthenticity: Stiegler and the lost spirit of capitalism. In G. Moore and C. Howells, eds. Stiegler and Technics. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, pp. 225–239. Memories of inauthenticity: Stiegler and the lost spirit of capitalism The aim of this essay is to discuss Bernard Stiegler’s arguments about the condition and fate of contemporary capitalism. These arguments are formulated most succintly in For a New Critique of Political Economy but elements of this ‘new critique’ are discussed at greater length throughout Stiegler’s recent work and in particular in the series Mécréance et Discrédit (Disbelief and Discredit and De la Misère Symbolique (On Symbolic Misery). In the following discussion I have chosen to focus primarily on the third volume of the former, entitled L’Esprit perdu du capitalisme (The Lost Spirit of Capitalism), the first part of which is dedicated to a detailed critique of the Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello’s The New Spirit of Capitalism. There are two reasons for this focus. The first is that Boltanski and Chiapellos’s book has become an extremely influential account of contemporary capitalism; Stiegler’s arguments here help to demonstrate the problems and limitations of its approach. The second is that the contrast with Boltanski and Chiapello helps to bring out much that is genuinely novel and interesting about Stiegler’s own account of capitalism. It demonstrates in some detail the way in which his transformation of work by Derrida, Simondon and others has allowed a rearticulation of some of the concerns of the Frankfurt School.

    1.1. Circuit-Bending and DIY Culture

    1.1. Circuit-bending and DIY culture Alexandre Marino Fernandez1 Fernando Iazzetta 1 Abstract This article analyses Circuit-Bending and its relation to the Do-it-yourself (DIY) culture. Circuit- bending is an experimental music practice which consists of opening up low voltage (battery powered) electronic devices (musical toys, radio devices, cd players, etc. – mostly technological waste) and of changing (bend) the way electricity flows through their circuits in order to achieve an ‘interesting’ result. After presenting the work of some artists who make use of this methodology we introduce the concept of proletarianisation by philosopher Bernard Stiegler and how such methodologies can act as de-proletarianisation tactics. Then, we present the Do-it-together (DIT) or Do-it-with-others (DIWO) discussion to bring into scene the notion of Relational Aesthetics. Keywords: Circuit-Bending; De-proletarianisation; DIY Culture; Relational Aesthetic Introduction This article relates Circuit-Bending to DIY culture focusing on the anti-consumerist, rebellious and creative aspects of this experimental practice. Generally speaking, circuit-bending consists of opening up battery powered electronic devices and of changing (bend) the way electricity flows through their circuits in order to achieve an ‘interesting’ result. One typically practices circuit-bending by removing and/or adding electronic components, connecting different circuits, or even adding organic elements to the circuit (bender’s body or even fruits and vegetables). The next step usually calls for soldering the components into the circuit or marking specific places to be touched. Finally, sometimes a case is designed for accommodating this newly created instrument. The technique was named in 1992 by Qubais Reed Ghazala, in a series of articles he wrote for Experimental Music Instrument magazine.
  • Degrowth, Commons and Convivial Technology. Many People Criticizes

    Degrowth, Commons and Convivial Technology. Many People Criticizes

    Degrowth, Commons and convivial Technology. Many people criticizes both the growth and the concept of degrowth, that is why they talk about “alter-growth” (Christian Arnsperger for example) or “misgrowth” (Bernard Stiegler, for example). But, defending the degrowth, Serge Latouche use the word “a-growth”… So, words about degrowth are uncertain. It is important to notice that there is, in France but probably also everywhere, a violent debate between theorists of the degrowth and the critics of the growth. Why criticizing growth is not enough to support the degrowth? One of the main differences between the theorists of the degrowth and the eco-socialists, is not only about the “ecological interests of class” (according to an expression of Stéphane Lavignotte), but also because they have different philosophies of technology. Without going so far as to say that degrowth is a bourgeois concept, we think that it is important not to confuse degrowth with the (bourgeois) idea of a “return to nature”. The real question, the one who reconciles sustainability and equity, is to know which idea of the common, and more exactly which idea of the common industrial milieu, hides behind this concept of degrowth. In fact, at the time of galloping urbanization, our milieu is and will remain industrial. The theorists of degrowth often quote Karl Polanyi, but they forget to specify that according to him: “the congenital weakness of the XIXth century society does not come from the fact that it was industrial, but from the fact that it was a market society” (The Great Transformation, tr. fr., p.
