Call for Papers Inscriptions 4, n1: Artificial Life, Ethics and the Good Life

2020-06-12

For our volume 4, n1, we seek essays that reflect on, interrogate, and bring new perspectives to the notion of artificial life and ethical living in general. Key questions include:

  • How must I compose myself in order to live a good, satisfying life?
  • What is the good life, and what values are relevant to us in our present time?
  • How has the figure of the subject been challenged by our technological order, and how may we begin to ethically reassess our present condition?

Vol. 3 No. 2 (2020): Power in a time of pandemic
``“Masks,” drawing, by Pat Fjeld © 2020

This open issue questions the relation between subject and power: what is the substance and appearance of the sovereign, what are the domains and limits of state power, and what are the effects of governance in the time of a health scare. Two short texts by Giorgio Agamben show how a religion of science became a tool to administer an exceptional governmentality under the recent pandemic.
