SOCD41H3 Lecture : Notes for critical writer Allison
Document Summary
An escapibility between the relationship of the worker and the machine. As for examples in modern times: capitalist desire for surplus power. The workers are placed at the mercy of machines for profit: the non human is defining the human. Instead of the human having control it is actually the machines and this is monstrous and oppressive. Even though foucalt is not sure what this monstrosity is, he does touch on this inversion within their relationship: we are animating the non human. Latour is unlike foucault and marx, as well as others: we have always been hybrid. When science and technology feels out of our control we think that it is oppressive. I t is thought of as passive when we do not notice it. Dastson and park: the monk is put in a figure of a calf to show how monstrous it is.
