First and foremost, it is about recognising the problem of complexity,
now in the hands of algorithmic governmentality, as a collective
diagnosis and social challenge.
The autonomy of social forces and agency in thought and action in the
midst of complex processes is the message and mission here.
Complexity explores the question of self-organising and emergent orders
and patterns. It stands for the description of entangled assemblages
(or_ interlocking assemblages). They are complex because their
organisation involves a high degree of unpredictability.
Uncertainties and unpredictabilities are thus not meant to hinder
action, but to be incorporated in order to appropriate active agency.
But this requires a new way of seeing, a new organisation of thinking
and cooperative action.
Agency in complexity seeks to promote social and cooperative agency in
the face of complex processes. Systemic vision, agile thinking and
operational autonomy are the thematic basis for achieving agency in
complexity.
