Güne güzel bir haberle başladım. Telefonlarımızdaki ve platformlardaki “akıllı hafıza” özelliklerinin, neyi hatırlayıp neyi unutacağımızı nasıl şekillendirdiğini tartıştığım makalem yayımlandı. Araştırmamın linki: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

In this piece, as Virno puts it, “The society of mature capitalism is simply puerile.” I think this is an interesting point. If you tell a child a story over and over, they will enjoy it just as much each time. This is not true of the repetition of commodities and wage labor.

possible outside of it. However, in modern-day capitalism, we start to see language as an environment. This is where I think his quote, “it is from childhood that we ought to expect instruction,” fits. Childhood teaches us that the world we live in is not fixed and can still++

be changed. I don’t know if I agree with all of his analogies between childhood and our society, but I do like that he tries to portray childhood in a more enlightened way. Are we mature because we learn to conform to our surroundings? jstor.org/stable/20442697?se…

Mark Fisher takes Marx’s vampire metaphor a step further in Capitalist Realism. Capital feeds on us, but we’re also the ones keeping it alive through our own desires.

Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.

“We write to hurt, in the higher sense of the word, to disturb. Everything I’ve read in my life, I read to be disturbed.” — Emil M. Cioran, interview with Christian Bussy (1973)

I feel there exists a kind of paradoxical interplay between writing and reading here. Cioran wrote to unsettle people, yet some of his readers found comfort in his words. I guess that’s what I take from it. I don’t want books to comfort me or confirm what I already believe.

I want them to challenge me, even make me uncomfortable. Perhaps there’s a peculiar sort of comfort in that discomfort itself.

Read the comments and ppl overhype reading imo. You can read a shit ton and still be ignorant or closed-minded as hell. Most readers I’ve seen are, tbh. Reading becomes a way to reinforce your own dogmas instead of challenging them, broadening your horizons or staying curious.

You can read anything. What matters is what you read, how you read it and why.

I’d like to recommend this timeless and critical appraisal of sociology by Behice Boran. She goes into detail about why sociology’s claim to neutrality is misleading. It came about in the 19th century amid the great class divisions of modern society. As she explains, Marxism++

more influence than others. We also need to understand how this whole changes over time and study it along its “developmental vector”.

It seems that unless we as sociologists reconsider our basic assumptions, sociology will never be able to become a -true science- of society. jstor.org/stable/2771459?seq…
