Notes about production of subjectivity and algorithmic modeling of a life

Abstract

This essay is part of research still in development, in the hybrid field of social psychology and digital technologies, and aims to establish a transdisciplinary relationship with psychoanalysis by analyzing the ways in which we have related to AI interfaces, problematizing the production of subjectivities contemporary issues, the pimping of desire (ROLNIK, 2018) and the possibilities found from the technodiversity paradigm (HUI, 2020). An investigation that deals with the paradigm proposed as technodiversity pays attention to other ways of technological know-how, not limited only to the anthropocentric dimension and its hegemonically instituted systems of domination, but proposes agencies with other perspectives of signifying encounters between morality and technique, opening conditions of possibility for the expression of cosmotechniques that can make other fields of force and form visible as resistance to the pasteurization of life. Decaffeinating the desire that yearns for hyperconnectivity and enjoys the acceleration of time has to do with the possibilities of resistance to what has been programmed, but also, composition with algorithms. If the way in which they have perpetrated relationships still configures itself as a consumption practice that demands connection with the 'new' or permanent instant, it becomes important to highlight that the way in which we allow ourselves to be affected by encounters with machines and their proposals it is also a way of (re)positioning in the face of technology.
