Achille Mbembe - Brutalismo

Brutalism (2020) is a reflection on the ultimate metamorphosis of neoliberalism into colonialism on a global scale. For the author, humanity has just entered its final era—destructive and brutal, productivist and obscure, like the architectural school that gives it its name—an era in which any human order is governed by computation and algorithms, in which all spheres of existence have been conquered by capital, in which everything converges toward an unprecedented planetary unification.

Faced with the pact between politics, technology, and biology that intervenes in the very core of our lives, exerting insidious violence on the environment, bodies, and minds, in an ambitious and uncontrolled project to transform humanity into matter and energy, Achille Mbembe calls for a refoundation of the sense of identity, community, and solidarity.
