Giorgio Cesarano

In this course
Giorgio Cesarano was an Italian radical theorist who critiqued cybernetics as a totalizing system of control and subjection that transforms human societies into feedback-regulated machines. In the course readings, his work appears as a foundational critique of "second cybernetics" and its anthropotechnological mission—used to frame the ideological claims embedded in cybernetic thinking and to theorize resistance against what he saw as the inexorable absorption of human agency into machinic systems. His emphasis on fate, place, and the impossibility of adventure outside cybernetic capture provides philosophical grounding for arguments about how informational machines reconstruct subjection across humans and machines alike.
