We are living in a world that is sliding into ‘ecosystem chaos,’ where capitalism can no longer calculate its own future and war has become the only governing algorithm. War regimes seep into every aspect of society, from Ukraine to Palestine and from Silicon Valley platforms to the people they exploit. In his talk at the BG conference “Pluriverse of Peace,” the writer and philosopher Raúl Sánchez Cedillo calls for a different horizon: a constituent peace, an insurrection of those very bodies, and the reconstruction of networks outside the ‘surveillance grid.’ It is a wager that emancipation could still erupt from chaos. But only if we learn to inhabit it differently.
The talk was created for and presented at the BG conference “Pluriverse of Peace” on Thursday, October 16. The opening day of the BG conference “Pluriverse of Peace” was held in cooperation with the ICI Berlin.
