“A democratic offensive can only benefit by including in its arsenal as many tools as possible [...] This presupposes blurring the distinction between ‘expert’, ‘political’, and ‘poetic’ discourse, where the politician becomes the expert, the expert becomes the politician and both become poets”

Our research team (Digital Transitions & Society) presented today at the Politics of Technologies in the Digital Age Conference at the University of Ioannina. Our presentations zeroed in on the intersection of technology and populism, platformization and ontological security.

Does the logic of populist politics mirror the ontological potentials of technology? Do contemporary politics mirror technology's ontic manifestation in modern times? These are the questions I will be answering in the upcoming Politics of Technologies in the Digital Age Conference in Ioannina
