| Description | The author's intention is to examine the relationship of subjects to normative systems, in particular to the system of law. Is law a means that is used by the Machine as a power core to subjugate its subjects and exercise power over their bodies? Or is our idea of the power structure of ruling hegemony a thing of the past? The concept of psychopolitics tells us that we internalize the claims we would normally attribute to the ruling center, and the very existence of the center (the Machine) slowly dissolves. The author's intention is to explore the new mindset that is taking hold in contemporary society - metrics, measurement, data. All of these are tools for regulating the social behaviors we accept. And these tools are also reflected in how the relationship between subjects and the law works. The author will discuss the pitfalls of accepting the theses of psychopolitics and the frightening consequences of the possible truth of these theses. |
