Mediatization, polarization, and intolerance (between environments, media, and circulation)

Tiago Quiroga 58 4. In real time, circulation bias In the case of real time as a way of assigning value to its different intelligibility mechanisms, organizations expand at levels never imagined before; distance-speed is like “primitive greatness that falls short of any measure of both time and place” (VIRILIO, 2014, p. 14). According to Virilio (1997), although not exclusive to modernity, the new greatness becomes a kind of universal metric, as important for politics as the material accu- mulation is for capitalism itself. In fact, as an object of diverse investments around its permanent optimization, time seems to have always been in the condition of one of the main substrates of value in the set of economic systems. However, today, amid the culture of interfaces, its historical relevance seems to be giv- en in the very absence of duration as an assumption of the social functioning. In this case, the dimensions that involve the present time result not only from the acceleration of speed but also, and above all, from the future as one of the most important devices of power (AGAMBEN, 2017). Faced with the advent of big data, it is our openness to the undetermined that no longer resembles any other. In the case of real time as a way of assigning value to its different intelligibility mechanisms, organizations expand at levels never imagined before; distance-speed is like “primitive greatness that falls short of any measure of both time and place” (VIRILIO, 2014, p. 14). According to Virilio (1997), although not exclusive to modernity, the new greatness becomes a kind of universal metric, as important for politics as the material accu- mulation is for capitalism itself.
