La “agenesia” como patología de civilización y su alcance en el capitalismo de la flexibilidad

Abstract

According to our hypothesis, cultural physis grows faint and, therefore, it is incapable of generating meaning and intensive force for its unlimited self-growth. From this perspective, we intend to examine the validity of this "agenesis" within the incipient flexible capitalism, in order to elucidate its morbid expressions in light of the blind mechanisms that are currently the backbone of the labor sphere. Insofar as it snatches our creative powers, the social organization of the mass intelligentsia ends up generating, indeed, a kind of deficiency-related madness given to the autophagous aporia of the vacuum organization through which we seek to compulsively pay the infinite debt with culture. Finally, we point to the nonsense concomitant with the loss of self-estrangement as the main driver of the crisis, in a historical world that indifferently accepts the invisible dictatorship of Capital, immersed in an "illusion of autonomy" that identifies freedom and flexibility.
