Abstract

More than an essay, this article is a type of brainstorming and an invitation further to reflect upon the relationships between post-operaist thought, the new forms of activism and the network culture - and more particularly upon the relationships that are currently taking shape between the new technologies, the collective imaginary and the body politic. The author proposes for example an innovative comparison between the concept of general intellect and the notion of open-source software, or between the foundations of the psychedelic culture and the literary intuitions of James Ballard and William Gibson.
