| dcterms.abstract | The dramatic expansion of the complex interaction and structural reconfiguration of power, incited by the financialization and development of new communication technologies, brought transformations that have consequences for the institutional foundations of political legitimacy and produce dilemmas for social organization. While acknowledging that the global dynamical transition into the new social paradigm delivers a significant number of possible scenarios, one of the central hypotheses of this study is that the movement towards a global techno-capitalist society is accompanied by the imposition of more complex, mutated and multilayered forms of social control and violence. This dissertation underlines the importance of understanding societal assemblages as dynamic entities with the capacity to reproduce and perpetrate the regimes or economies of violence. To underpin the argument theoretically and empirically, the dissertation offers a broader perspective on developments in Ukraine. It demonstrates the current transformations as a top-down process linked to the dynamics and logic of war in which technological, political, cultural, and economic features are twisted. The Ukrainian instance represents one of the significant and recent sites of the operation of tremendous power and serves as a case study of the causes and consequences of transnational processes. In the end, the philosophical approach allows us to demonstrate that various social structures and systems of communication can produce different effects, which define the nature of reality, the cognitive properties, and the existence of organisms. | |
