ESDiT online seminar series on “Attending as practice in the attention economy”
From the Attention Economy to a Politics of Curiosity
Yves Citton and Enrico Campo
Wednesday, September 20, 2023 1:30 PM-3:00 PM
Interested in attending? Please write to Secretariat.P&E@tue.nl if you want to participate in this session (or others; see below).
Description: While studies devoted to the attention economy have proliferated since the 1970s, exploding after 1995, very few scholarly work had been devoted to curiosity until the mid-2010s. This presentation will attempt to resituate the attention economy within a triangulation evaluating the related powers and dangers of Attention, Distrction and Curiosity. Within such a triangulation, it will sketch what a politics of curiosity could look like within the current Capitalocene crisis.
Enrico Campo is Research Fellow in Sociology at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan (Italy). His main research interests are in the field of social theory, sociology of knowledge and in particular in the study of the relation between culture, technology, and cognition. He is author of Attention and its Crisis in Digital Society (Routledge 2022).
Yves Citton is professor in Literature and Media at the Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint Denis and co-editor of the journal Multitudes, and recently published Altermodernités des Lumières (Seuil, 2022), Faire avec. Conflits, coalitions, contagions (Les Liens qui Libèrent, 2021), Générations collapsonautes (Seuil, 2020, in collaboration with Jacopo Rasmi), Mediarchy (Polity Press, 2019), Contre-courants politiques (Fayard, 2018), The Ecology of Attention (Polity Press, 2016). His articles are in open access on his website www.yvescitton.net.
Aim: The online series aims to contribute, using philosophy and ethics, to constructively critique the attention economy (the tech industry’s business model that treats human attention as a commodifiable resource).
