Bloodless Coup: LOVE IN THE HEART OF TECHNOLOGY


Abstract
Blood is presumed at the core of both the most public (the ›political‹ defined by Schmitt via armed combat) and the most private space (love). But both combat and love constitute examples of ›inanimation‹ or ›automatic life‹, deriving precisely from a particular relation to the inanimate. I'll examine this question, as it relates to love, on the basis of the work of Jean-Luc Nancy, in particular his concept of ›inscription‹, whose extrapolations can be analysed in essays on the body, the heart, and love.
