;All That is Solid Melts into Aerial Karate: Environmentality, Predictiv
e Analytics, and the Banal Beyond”
This talk will use a
particular example drawn from contemporary predictive data analytics to
address an issue that Michel Foucault raised briefly about ‘enviro
nmentality’ toward the end of his 1978–79 seminar on The Birth of Biopolitics. Foucault sees—in a futural glimpse
of where biopolitics is already heading—that “the tech
nology to be employed is not discipline-normalization, but action on the
environment ... modifying the terms of the game, not the players’
mentality.” Gregory will explore how we might understand this who
le field modulation of bodies and territories as a chief aim of predicti
ve analytics: engaging ‘the banal beyond’ of an aggregative
nonconsciousness with the mimetic lures of non-sensuous similarity.
