ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the organizational logic of instituent practices, and addresses the social dimension that creates alternatives to the monopoly effects of platform capitalism. The historical culmination of an organizational form manifests as a socialist state that is structurally tied to capitalism. In the cultural context of the 1990s, networks were neither inhabited by individuals nor by institutions. Platform capitalism demonstrates loud and clear that neither of these are bundled into the 'free' software of service providers. The regressive propositions for a revived party politics are also not going to do the job. The imaginary and real power of existing institutional frameworks so often works against the possibility of new institutional forms arising with the capacity to displace existing powers. Next Nature Network is the international network for anyone interested to join the debate on future—in which nature and technology are fusing.
