HOME  INTRODUCTION  MATERIALS  DOCU      Strategy of Truth In a post-Clausewitzean strategy (where overkill is what MUST be avoided), the living organism itself and its manipulation become the stakes (the object) of war. It is a matter of producing being, and no longer of producing truth. Politics is no longer located in the symbolic but in the biological and the psychic dimension, via electromagnetic energy, etc. The symbolic remains in the form of infowar, i.e. as a strategy of truth and no longer as a regime of truth. The "truth" is constructed pragmatically, productively, as a function of the effects it can produce. In this sense, it becomes impossible to believe in the antagonism between a regime of truth (claiming authenticity and deriving from the symbolic) and a strategy of truth (which doesn't care if the truth is true, and is concerned more with the distribution, circulation and effects of a message, than with its production). · Autonomous Knowledge and Power · Strategy of Truth · Wars of Information
