Far from being a neutral tool, AI is being mobilised from the outset by state and private powers in an arms race in which technological innovation is becoming a vector of conflict. The author shows that this dynamic reproduces the accelerationist pattern of capitalism, where innovation escapes any real regulation. He highlights the trivialisation of violence by so-called ‘intelligent’ technologies, which distance operators from the concrete effects of their actions. He denounces the dilution of human responsibility in a context of automated and derealised warfare. Far from bringing security or progress, military AI increases the risk of escalation and uncontrolled operations. The author also criticises the dominant engineering ideology, based on efficiency alone, to the detriment of any ethical or political reflection. He deconstructs the illusion of an AI “revolution”, preferring to see it as an extension of techno-capitalist power. Finally, he calls for a radical rethink of the links between science, technology and violence in the age of AI. mar., 01 juil. 2025 23:18:26 +0200 mer., 09 juil. 2025 14:46:10 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1537 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1478 The paper aims to investigate Helen’s apparition in Goethe’s Faust II, through Walter Benjamin’s Goethes Wahlverwandtschafen, essay written between 1921 and 1923, in which Benjamin reads Goethe’s novel Die Wahlverwandtschafen. In his essay, Benjamin focuses on Ottilie, whose beauty, in Goethe’s novel, represents an innovation in front of epic and mythological narration. Comparing Ottilie “apparent beauty” to that of Helen in Faust, an incredible closeness between Goethe and Euripides is revealed, insofar as apparent beauty is a sort of mythological fundamental of all wars. dim., 26 janv. 2025 20:24:21 +0100 dim., 26 janv. 2025 20:24:21 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1478 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/677 The paper aims to investigate the presence of Dreyer’s La passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1927) in Jean-Luc Godard’s Vivre sa vie (1962) and Notre musique (2004). Through an analysis of the shot and reverse shot technique employed by Godard in the sequences in which Nana and Olga converse with Dreyer’s film, the contribution attempts to show how the Godard work can open a destitute image of woman, the embodiment of an escape from any order of discourse. mer., 10 janv. 2024 15:16:14 +0100 mer., 05 juin 2024 14:12:36 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/677 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/965 This article attempts to wrest Medea from a reading focused only on the tragic. Medea is the “historical” name of a woman who suffers all the consequences of war. What to do in this torment? Medea either suffers her condition or turns into a lioness (Euripides, Mishima) and goes off to war. Her war is, however, like all ‘wars of the poor’, a war of liberation (Pasolini, Olavo). Medea also suggests the possibility of a definitive exit from the world of war created by patriarchy and imperialism: a permanent wandering on the chariot of the Sun (Giordano Bruno). mar., 16 janv. 2024 08:38:38 +0100 mer., 17 avril 2024 08:38:43 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/965 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/534 Which space does the Tramp live in? The hypothesis underlying this article is that the Tramp, is a figure that (does not) embodies the crowd of millions of poor, migrants, unemployed, homeless (that ‘class’ named the ‘Planetariat’ by the poet Jack Hirschman). A Tramp is nothing more than one of the silhouettes of this innumerable crowd. He moves in a desert which is the result of the “age of catastrophe” (Hobsbawm) we have been living in since 1914. Inside and within the catastrophe, the vagabond’s laugh expresses a way of being in the world, a practice of disaster. mar., 02 janv. 2024 15:12:56 +0100 mar., 02 janv. 2024 15:24:20 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/534
