Critical of the ideology of the network

The Réseau entered the practices, it became invisible for the company, become natural besides. The network is according to him omnipresent in our lives, telephone, televisual, railway, urban, of knowledge, etc it is everywhere. Internet, like the other networks before him, risk also to lose its visibility whereas the Technician S, them, are obliged to work on a quite real network.

Musso criticizes the Idéologie network in what those which express it do not know holding them real of this network. There is for him a contrast between those which make the ideology of the network and those which make really this network.

The concept of network for him was fixed thanks to Saint-Simon after a long maturation. It then gently slipped towards an ideology. By criticizing the ideologists of the network, Musso tries to define what could be a reasonable speech on the network. According to him, the Engineer S a contrario are occupied too much by the details of the Technique to state what should be the network. It would thus be allocated to the philosophers to produce the concepts which make it possible to think the network: but for that they must acquire knowledge technical necessary, which implies that they cease opposing the technique to the thought. Ainsi the technical network becomes the end and the means to think and carry out the social transformation, even the revolutions of our time. The ideology triumphing over the network is a way of doing the economy of the Utopias of the social transformation, to operate a transfer to the psychoanalytical direction, of the policy on the technique .

On Berlusconi

In its delivers entitled Berlusconi, new the prince , Musso defends the idea that this Prime Minister Italy N is on the way to inaugurate a new manner of making Politique. The Berlusconi phenomenon is analyzed under the angle of his report/ratio to the To be able and the Média S. a policy based on the Spectacle, which would be caused by the loss of the ideals Révolution naires (see Vidéocratie).
