Sally Macarthur, Gilbert Simondon and more

So here's my "my-life-is-too-short-but-these-articles-I'd-otherwise-read-right-now" list of today.
Included: short notes on why these, and full-text pdf links

Have you read it? Will you read it (for me)? Share your thought in 100 words, or even less .. so that we can use the time of our too short lives together more productively.

Sally Macarthur


I still haven't had time to properly read her work. But she's clearly a partner in new materialist crime. Or in feminist-deleuzian musicology, as she would probably call it. Her 2010 book is expensive. I'll talk to my librarian. Meanwhile, we'll have to do it with this:

Macarthur, Sally. "A thousand dissonances" in Australian Feminist Studies 2009.

Macarthur, Sally. "A Becoming-Infinite-Cycle in Anne Boyd’s Music: A Feminist-Deleuzian Exploration" in Radical Musicology 3(2008). http://www.radical-musicology.org.uk/2008/Macarthur.htm

See also the full list of publications on her site.




1.

THE POSITION OF THE PROBLEM OF ONTOGENESIS
Gilbert Simondon, translated by Gregory Flanders
2.
TECHNICAL MENTALITY
Gilbert Simondon, translated by Arne De Boever

Why Simondon? They told me at school that Deleuze took the notion of "individuation" of Simondon. Hence he must be a smart guy. 


3.
TOWARD AN ETHICO-POLITICS OF THE POSTHUMAN: FOUCAULT AND MERLEAU-PONTY
Rosalyn Diprose

why? Because it was the first female author turning up after pages and pages of all-male contributors to Parrhesia: a journal of critical philosophy. so that must be something exciting then huh. no also because its ethics, and posthuman. and foucault and our good old phenomenology hero (who I still need to get to know better to be armed in debates with those who love him (many music performance scholars))
4.

HUMANISM AFTER ALL? DAFT PUNK’S EXISTENTIALIST CRITIQUE OF TRANSHUMANISM
Chad Parkhill
