Technologies that implement affirmative ethics.
"Calling for hybridized poly-lingualism and creolization on a global scale is an affirmative answer to the coercive mono-culturalism imposed by the colonial and imperial powers. The ethics of productive affirmation is a different way of handling the issue of how to deal with pain and traumas and to operate in situations which are extreme, while working to bring out the generative force of zoe – life beyond the ego-bound human" (Rosi Braidotti)

"... what all of these new transgressive, intersectional, and integrative movements [of techno-feminism] have in common is an attitude of care or concern. In many ways, they are caring, worrying, ready to take responsibility, anchored in the here and now, and on the lookout for new types of relations. While searching for answers to global and local problems, engaging in scientific research, and devising technological solutions, this attitude of care contributes to the establishment of a new form of knowledge, a knowledge that rejects objectivization and is interested not only in observations and representations but also in transformations – in forging relations with things, in being affected, and thus in changing itself and the world in a process of co-transformation." (Cornelia Solfrank)

What is outside and beyond the form of the network?
"The paranode is the horizon, the site of futurity that contra-internet practices move toward. As contra-infrastructure and theoretical model, the paranode proposes two militancies: the practical search for antiwebs, which is not a killing or disappearing but a commons to come; and the intellectual task of making thinkable that which is not only outside the internet but also beyond the network form itself."

Métissage

"If we posit métissage as, generally speaking, the meeting and synthesis of two differences, creolization seems to be a limitless métissage, it’s elements diffracted and its consequences unforeseeable. Creolization diffracts, whereas certain forms of métissage can concentrate one more time" (Edouard Glissant)
"métissage(?) is proposed to the ch´ixi as a decolonizing force of the crossbreeding. Far from fusion or hybridity, it is a question of living together and inhabiting contradictions. Not to deny one part or the other, nor to seek a synthesis, but to admit the permanent fighting in our subjectivity between the indigenous and the european." (Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui)
Mogelijke Verdergaandheid
Possible Ongoingness
Πιθανή ?
We all share this problem, and we all have very different ideas about what to do about it. That’s already hard enough. That does not mean the science is not settled on climate change, or that relativism reigns; it does mean learning to compose possible ongoingness inside relentlessly diffracting worlds. (Donna Haraway)

"After all, the subversive intellectual came under false pretenses, with bad documents, out of love. Her labor is as necessary as it is unwelcome. The university needs what she bears but cannot bear what she brings. And on top of all that, she disappears. She disappears into the underground, the downlow lowdown maroon community of the university, into the undercommons of enlightenment, where the work gets done, where the work gets subverted, where the revolution is still black, still strong." (Stefano Harney & Fred Moten)
Overgankelijke Opschorting
Transitional Suspension
Vorrübergehender Aufschub
Μεταβατική Αναστολή
"Learning to be awkward, to be graceful, to leap, and to fall is a training in attention and also in revisceralizing one's bodily intuition. It is a training that collapses getting hurt with making a life, but that includes the welcoming of exposure alongside of a dread of it. There can be no change in life without revisceralization. This involves all kinds of loss and transitional suspension." (Lauren Berlant)
Poiesis Solidaria
Solidarity Poiesis
Αλληλέγγυα Ποίηση
"I believe it is crucial to enable a poetics that generates infrastructures of their own kind, ones that can be seen as sensuous, ‘non-reproductive’ extensions of our sociality. After all, that which can be deemed crucial for imagination is the sensuousness that imagination is operating with: the resistance of the concrete to any form of abstraction or reduction." (Robin Vanbesien)

The ability to react to something but also taking responsability for that response.
"Blaming Capitalism, Imperialism, Neoliberalism, Modernization, or some other “not us”for ongoing destruction webbed with human numbers will not work either. These issues demand difficult, unrelenting work; but they also demand joy, play, and response-ability to engage with unexpected others." (Donna Haraway)

Undercommoning
Dear Reader, here are some trans*feminist reworkings of vocabularies and imaginaries linked to 'sovereignity', 'freedom', 'independence' and 'autonomy'. This cluster of words is often used in activist tech-communities to talk about the kind of tools, softwares, networks and servers we need and want. We have learned to understand them as positive, but they implicitly and sometimes explicitly foreground separation rather than relation. They evoke techno-utopias elsewhere, instead of staying with the trouble that we are already entangled in. This bookmark proposes other ways we might speak about the desirable and desired horizons of technology. Many of the terms on this list modify existing concepts; rather than trying to replace them they introduce dynamic tension.
Beste Lezer, hier zijn wat trans*feministische herwerkingen van het taalgebruik en de verbeelding rond termen als soevereiniteit, vrijheid, onafhankelijkheid en autonomie. Dit cluster aan woorden komt je vaak tegen in technologisch-activistische gemeenschappen. Daar worden ze gebruikt om het te hebben over de soorten gereedschappen, softwares, netwerken en servers die we nodig hebben en in de wereld willen zien. We hebben ze leren kennen als positieve termen waar we ons achter kunnen scharen. Het zijn echter termen die impliciet en soms ook expliciet (af)scheiding inplaats van relatie benadrukken. Het zijn ook termen die technische-utopias elders veronderstellen, in tijd of plaats. Hoe kunnen we in de buurt blijven van de problematiek waar we nu mee te maken hebben. Deze boekenlegger stelt een woordenschat voor die we kunnen gebruiken om anders te spreken over wenselijke en gewenste technologische vergezichten. Vanuit de wens ze niet te vervangen, maar van een dynamische spanning te voorzien, zijn veel van de termen op deze lijst aanpassingen van bestaande concepten.
Αγαπητοί Αναγνώστες, εδώ θα βρείτε τρανς-φεμινιστικές επαναπροσεγγίσεις λέξεων και φαντασιακών (σκέψεων) που συνδέονται με έννοιες 'κυριαρχίας', 'ελευθερίας', 'ανεξαρτησίας' και 'αυτονομίας'. Αυτό το σύμπλεγμα λέξεων χρησιμοποιείται συχνά σε κοινότητες τεχνολογικού ακτιβισμού όταν μιλάμε για τους τύπους εργαλείων, προγραμμάτων, δικτύων και τεχνολογικών υποδομών (server) που θέλουμε και έχουμε ανάγκη. Περιλαμβάνει όρους που έχουμε μάθει να καταλαβαίνουμε ως θετικούς, αλλά σιωπηρά ή ρητά προβάλλουν τον διαχωρισμό αντί της συσχέτισης. Όροι που παραπέμπουν σε τεχνο-ουτοπίες Aλλού, αντί να παραμένουν σε εμπλοκή με τα υπάρχοντα προβλήματα. Ο παρών σελιδοδείκτης προτείνει εναλλακτικούς τρόπους να μιλήσουμε για επιθυμητους τεχνολογικούς ορίζοντες. Πολλοί όροι σ'αυτή τη λίστα τροποποιούν υπάρχοντες έννοιες - αντι να επιδιώκουν την αντικατάστασή τους, ενεργοποιούν εντάσεις.
Querido lector, he aquí algunas modificaciones trans*feministas de vocabulario e imaginarios vinculados a la `soberanía', la `Libertad', la `Independencia' y la `Autonomía'. Este grupo de palabras se utilizan a menudo en las comunidades tecnológicas activistas para hablar sobre el tipo de herramientas, softwares, redes y servidores que necesitamos y queremos. Hemos aprendido a entenderlas como positivas, pero implícita y a veces explícitamente, como una separación más que como una relación. Evocan las tecno-utopías en otros lugares, en lugar de quedarnos con el problema que ya estamos viviendo. Este marcador propone otras formas en las que podemos hablar sobre los horizontes deseables y deseados de la tecnología. Muchos de los términos de esta lista modifican los conceptos existentes; en lugar de tratar de reemplazarlos, introducen una tensión dinámica.

"Does recuperating "autonomous zones" and "safe spaces” of smaller networks represent effective resistence to the new technological formalism of big tech’s computational social scientists? Or does it simply highlight the fact that the twin ideals of autonomy and participation that were once seen as not only related but actually entailing one another have proved themselves to be all too frequently incomensurable as to be a participant is always to be enrolled in some kind of infrastructure ?"
