| Description: | This essay explores the theoreticalquestions emerging from the proliferation ofdigitally mediated forms of social intercourseand their impact on the modern constellationof political and social concepts. While severaldisciplines have long since begun to addressthe impact of digital technology on their objectsof study, an inquiry into how the semantics ofpolitics and society mutates within contextsregulated by algorithms is still all but absentfrom the landscape of the history of concepts.The essay aims at laying out a cartographyof the theoretical problems that derive fromthem and that need to be faced and discussedwhen addressing the technological margins ofconceptual history. First it does that by lookingfor tools and answers in the work of the foundersof Begriffsgeschichte, focusing in particular onhow the topic of technology has been treatedin laying the grounds of conceptual history.Second, it discusses some contributions thathave tried to answer to the conundrums exposedabove, laying the first fragments of a conceptualhistory of ‘algorithmic politics’ in its link with thecurrent transformations of State. |
