  2. Mumford’s megamachine can be read as a historical figuration of Althusser’s mode of production: a structured arrangement of productive forces, relations of production, and ideological superstructures aimed at the centralized control of vital flows. “Mode of production” remains the more general concept; “megamachine” names the concrete techno-political form it takes in specific historical contexts. #philosophy #policalPhilosophy #megamachine #modeOfProduction

  7. Mumford vs Kemp : deux focales sur la même mégamachine

    Mumford : mégamachine = techno-historique (pyramides → fusées).Kemp : Goliath = historico-statistique (400 sociétés sur 5000 ans).Même diagnostic, approches complémentaires. #Mumford #Kemp #Mégamachine #Goliath Lewis Mumford et Luke Kemp analysent le même phénomène — les hiérarchies techno-politiques massives — mais avec des approches méthodologiques distinctes.
