[pt] A contemporaneidade é um período marcado pela presença ubíqua da tecnologia, tornando rápidas, voláteis e precárias as nossas condições existenciais. Bernard Stiegler (1952-2020), ciente disso, demonstra em várias de suas obras a preocupação com as novas gerações diante de um contexto histórico no qual o mundo parece caminhar apressadamente rumo ao abismo. Em sua obra sobre a disrupção, o autor se utiliza de uma personagem, o jovem Florian de 15 anos, com o objetivo de, através de seu discurso, ilustrar a realidade que busca compreender. O norte da dissertação é exatamente a fala desse adolescente, que entende que o seu pensamento, marcado por protensão negativa, pode ser estendido a seus pares de geração. Por meio da análise da fala do jovem, buscamos pensar sobre a projeção de futuro que a juventude faz hoje e sobre como ela se difere de outros momentos de nossa História em que a tecnologia não estava tão intimamente presente na vida diária. Também, pretendemos dar conta do que conceitualmente é a juventude, por que o recorte geracional é relevante para a discussão e como todas essas definições são condicionadas sócio-historicamente. Buscamos igualmente compreender a origem e a incidência do fenômeno da negação na psique jovem diante dos problemas que parecem se acumular na existência contemporânea, tais quais as mudanças climáticas, a redução significativa de oportunidades dignas de trabalho e o agravamento da desigualdade social. / [en] The contemporary period is marked by the ubiquitous presence of technology, causing our existential conditions to be volatile and precarious. Bernard Stiegler (1952-2020), aware of this, demonstrates in several of his works his concern for the new generations in a historical context in which the world seems to be rushing towards the abyss. In his work on disruption, the author presents a character, the 15-year-old Florian, with the aim of, through his speech, illustrating the reality he seeks to understand. The dissertation revolves around the speech ofthis teenager, who believes that his words, filled with negative protension, could be shared with his peers of the same generation. Through the analysis of the young man s speech, we seek to understand more about the projection of the future that the youth makes today and how it differs from other moments in our History in which technology was not so intimately present in our daily life. Also, we intend to understand the concept of youth, why generations are relevant to the discussion and how all these definitions are socio-historically conditioned. We also seek to discuss the origin and incidence of the phenomenon of denial in the young psyche before problems that seem to accumulate in contemporary existence, such as climate change, the significant reduction of decent job opportunities and the worsening of social inequality.

Keywords Gilbert Simondon, Bernard Stiegler, Mark B. N. Hansen, philosophy, media, technology, humanism, individuation, information Abstract This text has two parallel objectives. First, to introduce the original work of french philosopher Gilbert Simondon. Second, to show its potential of his philosophy in relation to our thinking about the current media-techno- logically conditioned environment in which we live and through which we understand the world. I have two motivations for the first objective. First, the work of Gilbert Simondon is still completely unknown in Czech Repub- lic, therefore I find it necessary to offer to the reader the introduction of his work. Second, without such introduction it would be very difficult to ope- rate with his crucial concepts in the work of his contemporary interpreters whose contributions I will discuss in the second part of the text. The se- cond objective is motivated with my interest in delimitation of speculative and materialistic line of thinking based on the work of Gilbert Simondon. Such thought with its description of the world is in clear opposition with anthropocentrism. Nevertheless, it cannot be considered as a part of object oriented ontology neither. I'm not going to show the importance of Gilbert Simondon for media theory in this text. Rather, I will...

En s’appuyant principalement sur le travail de Gilbert Simondon (1989) et sur celui de Bernard Stiegler (2010, 2012, 2013), ce mémoire de maîtrise explore la relation entre les notions d’individu et de collectif. D’une part, cette relation est conceptualisée et développée à travers les concepts de transindividuation et d’individuation collective ; et d’autre part, celle-ci est explorée via les théories de l’improvisation libre (free improvised music). S’intéressant aux différentes modalités de cette pratique musicale (Bailey, 1992 ; Saladin, 2002, 2010, 2014 ; Corbett, 2004, 2016 ; Peters, 2009), cette recherche conçoit l’improvisation libre comme une approche radicale permettant d’aborder autrement la relation entre les notions d’individu et de collectif. L’agencement, la confrontation et la négociation des singularités individuelles des musiciens.nes en présence étant au centre de la pratique de l’improvisation libre, la méthodologie mobilisée vise à cerner les dynamiques permettant de saisir la complexité de cette relation. En s’appuyant particulièrement sur la research-from-creation et la creation-as-research (Chapman & Sawchuk, 2012), l’aspect méthodologique de ce mémoire est ancré dans la recherche-création. En ce sens, les principaux matériaux d’analyse ont émergé de l’expérience de séances d’improvisation libre dans laquelle l’immédiateté et l’éphémérité de la création ont été vécues, discutées et ultérieurement analysées à travers les concepts de rythme et de présence propres à la rythmanalyse d’Henri Lefebvre (1980, 1992). / Relying mainly on the work of Gilbert Simondon (1989) and Bernard Stiegler (2010, 2012, 2013), this master’s thesis explores the relation between the notions of individual and collective. On one hand, the relation is conceptualised and developed through the concepts of transindividuation and collective individuation ; and on the other hand, it is explored through free improvisation / free improvised music theories. Looking at the different modalities of that musical practice (Bailey, 1992 ; Saladin, 2002, 2010, 2014 ; Corbett, 2004, 2016 ; Peters, 2009), this research conceives free improvisation as a radical approach to tackle differently the relation between the notions of individual and collective. The assemblage, confrontation and negotiation of individual singularities of musicians being at the centre of free improvisation, the chosen methodology tends to define the dynamics allowing to understand the complexity of that relation. Relying particularly on research-from-creation and creation-as-research (Chapman & Sawchuk, 2012), the methodological aspect of this thesis is anchored in research-creation. In that sense, the main analysis materials have emerged from the experience of free improvisation sessions in which the instantaneity and ephemeral aspect of creation were lived, discussed and subsequently analysed through the concepts of rhythm and presence inherent to Henri Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis (1980, 1992).

The delegating of thought, memory and action outside of the human body, inseparable from the process of individuation and identity formation, and the following implications for music establish an underlying theme of this text. It is a reflection on the process of "supplementation," of prosthetization or exteriorization in the recent and contemporary milieu of music making, in which nothing is any longer immediately at hand, where everything is found mediated and instrumentalized, technicized, unbalanced.

This autoethnographic case study explores the experience of the digital regime on learning and knowledge production brought about by merging university study and research practice within a single digital regime in Work Integrated Political Studies (WIPS) during 2019-2021. The study provides a detailed account of the nature of learning and producing knowledge through this common digital regime, and its political implications. To explain the possibility and impacts of the digital regime, the study employed the concept of digital pharmakon by French philosopher Bernard Stiegler. In the analysis, I have operationalized the concept to the empirical materials I generated in the form of autoethnographic notes taken during the internship in the political science unit of University West, Trollhättan. Based on the analysis of these notes, the study postulates three features of the digital regime in learning knowledge production, which is: 1) to supplement human memory without memorization, 2) the provision of tools with various powerful technics, and 3) as a medium for communication and individuation. Additionally, the regime brought forthsome consequences for learning and practice, for instance, the dangers of forgetting, accelerating dependence on the computational memory and process, weakening thinking for oneself, and short-circuiting the process of individuation. The political implications would be eliminating diverse, negentropic, improbable, and incalculable parts of knowledge, so the knowledge left to be produced is based on computational reasoning, universal, data-driven, negotium, entropic nature of knowledge, lacking the local specialties, and subjective experiences
