The Three Ecologies - Felix Guattari

Quote: The reconquest of a degree of creative autonomy I one particular domain encourages conquests in other domains – the catalyst for a gradual reforging and renewal of humanity’s confidence in itself starting at the most miniscule level.

Page 27 – 28 Summary:

The earth is undergoing a period which is being described as an intense techno scientific transformation. If no immediate solution is found for this major issue, the continuation of our existence on this planet will cease to exist. Humans will be reduced to our most primitive and survival instincts, releasing our meanest forms of expressions in relationships. Others will lose all asperity, and tourism will become just become redundant journeys to areas of nothingness. Most of all, political groups are aware but blind to the implications of all these issues.

Industrial pollution, a major problem on this planet, is one of the main issues while currently living on this planet. It is a techno-scientific mutation of considerable demographic growth through the development of mechanical labor. But it is a force that cannot be stopped. And the result? Unemployment, oppressive marginalization, etc. The only true response to the ecological crisis on a global scale is the political social and cultural revolution. This movement will not take park in the visible relations of the world’s issues, but the social labor regulated for profit and power relations to tackle said issues.

Page 29 – 30 Summary:

Frances nuclear power stations threatens now just its neighboring countries, but the entire world itself. One of the possible consequences of these power stations is compared to a Chernobyl style accident. The stockpiling of these nuclear warheads, in combination to practical and daily human error, can trigger a mass extermination event if not careful. Not only do we purposely destroy wildlife, material assets and value systems, how can sensitive material such a s these warheads be protected from the public. These traditional roles of mediation are being reduced ore frequently and being controlled by the global market and military.

Today, there are many segregations of hierarchies that have been hidden in plain sight. A sense of social belonging no longer exists within our society. This typically explains the lifestyle in which many people live across the world, therefor why such events like world hunger still occurs until this day but is an illusion to think the international aid would ever solve any of these problems. It is a smoke screen hiding a much larger problem from the world to blind the public.

Page 31 – 32 Summary:

The long-term establishment of misery, hunger, death, and overall forms of poverty has been an unfortunate but well-known social issue and integral part in the integrated world and simulation of capitalism. It his hyper-exploitative and heavily depended upon by large industrial powers such as Hong Kong, south Korea etc., for their development. There are similar simulations born of despair in many other countries that are more established. These issues range from chronic unemployment and increasing marginalization of the population. The ability to solve these worldly issues its at our reach to reinstate our social activities on this planet but the inability of organizing the social forces to take actions using our resources turns into a never-ending social loop.

The exploitation of female labor, like child labor has always been a consistent issue since the nineteenth century. Sexual independence of women is unequally developed in relation to their rights to control their bodies in terms of contraception. And with our modern-day technology, their rights are still exploited through religious factions who try to minorize them.

Page 33 – 34 Summary:

Young people are often crushed by the dominant economic relations. And although they are easily controlled by the media, they often try to not subject themselves to the information being fed to them. Rock music for example plays a major role and has been identified as something like an initiatory cult. Which tends to draw a mass amount of young people.

The ecosophy perspective does not include the struggle against solving world hunger or deforestation or to the nuclear industries but will no longer be a question of depending on reductionist. Social practices will modify and reinvent the ways in which we live our daily lives in our families and in our relationships in a urban and social context. It was believed that our existing social contexts were much stronger before when the earth was less populated as they are today.

Page 35 – 36 Summary:

Mental ecosophy will lead us to reinvent the relation of the subject to the body. It will lead the public to the solution for mass media and conformism. It is the way operating will be more like those of an artist rather than of a professional. But nothing is usually played out because of history but more because of human error. We can unfortunately predict the rise of many types of danger such as racism, religious fanaticism, etc., which soon flip into exploitation of child labor and oppression of women.

The concepts of individual and subjectivity are a clear distinction to one another. They are relatively autonomous in relation and is typically difficult to allow people to listen to such arguments in context. Mostly because of the suspicion of automatic rejection.

Page 37 – 38 Summary:

It is being said that if scientific references and metaphors are rid from this world. We would be able to forge new paradigms that are instead strong and correct in inspiration. It is only through repetition that incorporate universal reference. The uprooting of pre structuralist ties is informing of a separation being made from oneself and their collective past. With, only this separation can ultimately lead to a futurist and constructivist virtuality.

Page 39 – 40 Summary:

Remote controlling of human individuals is said to often be governed by institutional and social class dimensions, such as medical institutions and governments for example. Psychoanalysis should not be controlled but more played with rather than cultivated and tended like an ornamental garden. These traits should allow one to feel and become free from control, rather than studied and analyzed. Psychiatry should always be reinvented from scratch, then same process should never become repetitious.

Analytical cartographies extend beyond the existential territories. They require consistent evolvement and innovation so that they can continue to thrive for an existing future. Just like in psychoanalytic behaviorists. To convey a message of hope or even attempt of assistance, they must demonstrate that they are not here to subjectify or place themselves above anyone else. Rather, demonstrate that they have abandoned their “white coats and the invisible one in their heads.” This is a primary concern but always a never-ending process of development to improve for the future.

Page 41 – 42 Summary:

Artificial intelligence to this day continues to develop. The reconstruction of social and individual practices such as social, mental, and environmental ecology also follow. The relations of human, psyche and nature also begin to deteriorate as continue to advance ourselves in what we believe to be important to us, rather than the obvious, objective pollution. This stems not only from individuals, but our governments as well. We have drained the significance of human intervention in the world, as our vision to what we are doing to it has drained.

Humanities techno scientific power have been revealed to the world of its capability, and the backlash that comes with it from nature, that is in store for us humans. If this were applied to more human ends, such as working to use this technology to improve our environment, it would be of significant benefit to the world. But since it falls under administration and control, such a thing should cease to ever happen.

Page 43 – 44 Summary:

Nature cannot be separated from our culture. It is in desperate need of human intervention and action. It has been jeopardized, deforested, and removed just like many other ecosystems such as our rivers and oceans with human interaction and pollution. Just has some very influential and wealthy people such as Donald trump do to our own societies. By redeveloping certain areas, he pushed out thousands of poor families, displacing them from their communities by building large and expensive projects.

We choose to evaluate what bests suits our needs within our society. As mentioned, a stifling cloak of silence is thrown over the general topic of struggles of women as well as the unemployed, child labor, and the marginalized immigrants. We choose not to talk about this. Fundamentally, if stablished line between speakers and listeners was developed, these issues within our societies could be resolved.

Page 45 – 46 Summary:

Vectors generally seek something that runs counter normal of things and invokes other intensities to form new norms. But they have become detached from their typical functions and operate as something entirely different.

Proliferating production of material and immaterial good is becoming more absurd and threatens the consistency of both individual and group existential territories. This is causing significant growth in techno scientific resources and the development of social and cultural progress.

Page 47 – 48 Summary:

Modernist capitalist formations seem in their own way, to be banking for their own success. Hierarchical structures have become the object of an imagery known to many. Reinforcement of segregationist attitudes from women, young and elderly intensify against social repression. All occurring in the post-industrial era or better describes at the integrated world capitalism.

True importance of the prosperity within capitalism was never fully demonstrated, but the result was not fully appreciated by the theoreticians and workers.

Page 49 – 50 Summary:

The major obstacle is the union and the parties which are struggling to defend their interests which are being oppressed and models that stifle their freedom of expression. Workers movements have recognized what is demanded for them and should be equal to them on the same plane. It only serves to reinforce a workerism and corporatism that have been profoundly distorted.

Singularity must be either evaded or crushed in specialist apparatuses and frames of reference. It manages the worlds of childhood, love, art as well as everything associated with feeling. Capitalistic subjectivity seeks to gain power by controlling and neutralizing the number of refrains. It is anaesthetized by a collective feeling of pseudo eternity.

Page 51 – 52 Summary:

In a domain of social ecology, it is said that there will always be a time of struggle in which everyone will feel impelled to decide on common things and conform with everyone else. Or when people with high stakes will essentially pull out of their responsibility and creative expression as such will take precedence. Such as when an artist may be led to alter his work after the intrusion of some accidental detail. Current ecological movements certainly have merit but in truth, the question is too important to be left to some of its folklorists.

Page 53 – 54 Summary:

The ongoing crisis at the time, involving both financial and economic, began to lead to upheavals of social status quo and mass media. All indications at the time suggested that the productivity gains engendered by current technological revolutions will begin rapid growth. The principle common to the three ecologies is that existential territories with which they confront us is not given as an but for itself.

The principle of mental ecology approaches existential territories and derives from pre-objectal and personal logic. It is the opposite of what is usually seen in the world such as beautiful coexisting with ugly, good with bad, etc.

Page 55 – 56 Summary:

The questions of mental ecology are very well known and may emerge anywhere at any moment. Freud invented the rituals of the session free association, and interpretation of the psychoanalytical myths of reference.

The crucial objective is to grasp the signifying points of rupture which involve denotation, connotation, and signification from which a certain number of semiotic chains are put to work. This meaning that any certain number of solutions are in play to tackle any certain issue.

Page 57 – 58 Summary:

Pure creative auto reference is impossible in the apprehension of ordinary existence, any actions or attempts to represent this only result in masking it from the world. Nobody is exempt from playing the game of the ecology of the imaginary.

It raises the questions of where the people in the society give the appearance of many of today the foul things seen such as aggression, murder, rape, in the world of childhood. Rather than trying to constantly censor all these negative things seen today, true ecology should be promoted. It is what matters most in our world.

Page 59 – 60 Summary:

Eradication of all the fantasies leading to the objectification of women immigrants and the insane would have allowed us to get rid of the concept of using prisons and psychiatric institutions within our society. But the generalization of the experiences of institutional analysis in hospitals and schools might modify the conditions of the problem. Ordinary approaches towards education and socialization won’t weaken the grip of a punitive superego or deathly guilt complex.

The principle specific to social ecology concerns the development in human groups of different sizes. In the first instance the self and the other are constructed through a set of stock identifications result in the attention from media masses.

Page 61 – 62 Summary:

Capitalist societies such as japan and the western powers, are socialist countries and are the new industrial powers of the third world. the media at this point appears to have a vast grip on this age and society. It creates divergences in large population categories mas well as unparalleled levels of media related alienation of some groups.

Media fatalism equates to a misunderstanding of many factors. Some of these factors being sudden mass consciousness, progressive collapse of Stalinism, technological evolution of the media and its possible use for non-capitalist goals, and reconstitution of labor processes. The international division of labor has been exported to third world countries to assist in their modernization and advancement of material production and mechanization.

Page 63 – 64 Summary:

To attempt to create and achieve the maximum middle classification, the reterritorializing the family on a large scale using the media and welfare system is the goal. With the industrial era of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, Japan and Italy have succeeded in creating high tech industries. With both countries, this goal has been achieved with little violence, but France has had a different path towards this goal. They for a long time had withdrew whole regions from the active economic life of the country.

Politically coherent stances taken will always be dominated by reactionary nationalists enterprises hostile to any innovation, as well as oppressing women, children and the marginalized. Something that has happened and occurred to these unfortunate groups of people constantly. Because of all the problems being faced with the world, it is less legitimate that profit-based markets should regulate financial and prestige-based rewards for human and social activities.

Page 65 – 66 Summary:

The search for existential territory did not at the time involve searching for one’s country f birth, but too often nationalization movements which have turned on themselves. The notion of collective interests should be expanded to include all the companies that have not profited off the people, but in short have planned for the futures of their communities by providing funnels of enrichment for all of humanity.

There is a principle specific to environmental ecology, where everything and anything in nature is possible and within reach. Whether this being the next worst disaster or evolution. But reliant on intervention of man, this will determine the natural equilibrium. Events such as this set up to regulate relationships between oxygen, ozone and carob dioxide.

Page 67 – 69 Summary:

Walter Benjamin condemns the reductionism that accompanies the primacy information. But to unite the worlds beyond those of abstract information, universes of reference and existential territories where singularity are considered by logic of mental ecologies.

It is said that everyone should ward off by every means possible, the entropic rise of a dominant subjectivity. Rather than remaining subjective to the economic competition of the universal value. Also, that singularization can rediscover the consistency.

Questions:

Is architecture controlled more through subjectivity [opinion polls, advertising, and media] then through production and services? Does arch daily [https://www.archdaily.com/] fit into this?

Yes, in todays world, architecture is consistently looked upon in several different aspects and manners. Some in materialistic ways, other in subjective manners and in forms of inspiration for improvement not just for the community itself but for the environment. Media tends to portray this in several fashions. When large popular projects get built and displayed to the public, the media and all forms of advertisement showcase these innovative ideas and typically generate how we interact with projects from around the world. Not only do they inspire young architects, but it also creates a habitat of recreation into other projects being inspired and built. Media for architecture is a stepping stone and a gateway of evolution for the future of architecture and sustainability in the world. Everything that architecture was not able todo in the past.

Is there a lack of understanding of the full implication the issues two political groups and institutions?

Political institutions and groups do not focus on the real needs of the people. They are very one sided when it comes to social relations. We have already seen this when it came to serving their communities by improving the environments but instead, these political groups tend to focus on the bigger picture which most benefited them such as anything which revolves around a financial issue.
