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

Mediatization and virtuality in human sciences: An announced crossroads 61 both the crisis of the future as a revolutionary horizon and the current consolidation of the race for the immediate. “Futurism has deteriorated under the horizon, and presentism replaces it. The present has become the horizon. Without a future and a past, it daily produces the past and the future it always needs, day after day, and values ​the immediate” (ibid., p. 148). In short, through the continuous management of the present time, a kind of condition of post-industrial economies, the emerging para- digmwould produce a type of positivization of time that empties the notion of the future as negativity which necessarily subtracts from our desire for mastery by language. In good measure, the change helps to understand an era whose conservatism finds in technology one of its main foundations. It is now intelligibility saturated with realism that, to save itself from the disaster of time (VIRILIO, 2005), is defined by a hostile attitude towards the future, especially when it comes to the efforts required for social changes in the present time. 5. From the grammars of the image to the visibility bias In summary, through speed as a practical form, neolib- eralism empties the present of the vigor of its virtuality, that is, of some future already recorded in human action, as an eman- cipatory condition of diverse knowledge, especially of the hu- manities. The issue seems particularly relevant to us, not only because it points to the problematic divorce between knowledge and social forms that are necessarily unfinished - among them democracy itself, but also, and above all because it records the current epistemological production in what could be called the social management of behavior Here, therefore, the centrality of the second vector is already mentioned: image as a structuring device in the field of production. We propose that, through the recognition logics anchored on visibility , the current productive system consolidates the I as a true organizational mutation. It is the context in which organizations incorporate, in their most intimate space, the logic of the “financial market as a disci- plining agent for all actors in the company, from the manager
