Cyberculture and Digital Communication Anthrobological configuration of the political

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to situate the new configuration of the political in relation to the cultural mutations derived from digital technological development and a new episteme, Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). The new modalities of “algorithmic governmentality” not only concern new administration and government strategies but, from a critical perspective, represent the advent of a new type of society, hyper-control societies. This is the unprecedented anthrobological configuration of the political in our days, a hybrid condition in which Artificial Intelligence must coexist with human intelligence.
