English abstract When we talk about digital, synthetic and artificial technologies in emerging networked societies, as we can guess, the idea of “subjectivity” (or better, subjectification) connected to identity (who is what), to sensitivity (who perceives what), to agency (who does what) and, naturally, to accountability (who is responsible for what) is crucial. Intelligent objects, assistive bots, coded algorithms, swarm robotics, anticipatory softwares, autonomous vehicles, quantified bodies, data-driven agents, automated markets, sensorized ecologies all demand of us, therefore, to address the philosophical question of the “subject” with new perspectives. But what kind of subjectivity is emerging in a more-than-human world? The foundational idea that we explore here is that of the subject considered as an “elemental” process morphing and designing what I started to name “infoviduality”
