unsettling knowledges

transversal web journal

The crises within cognitive capitalism and cognitive labor are mirrored in the
reproduction and exacerbation of global divisions of labor and the emergence
of new forms of exploitation as part of a regime of flexible capital
accumulation. While drastic austerity measures and heightened control
mechanisms lead to a radical transformation of the welfare state on the one
hand, new networks of communication, struggle and alternative forms of
knowledge emerge on the other.

This issue of _transversal_ attempts to review some of the general assumptions
of a theory of cognitive capitalism and to unsettle the very notions of
knowledge and its production, discussing the conditions of its capture, its
“re-invention� and its capacity for _creating worlds_. The individual essays
follow the lines of a (post-)colonial historicity and a feminist and
geopolitical critique of capitalist valorization, thereby questioning the
materiality of knowledge and its production in relation to resources and
bodies, as well as how art and knowledge production are interwoven with
political struggles.
