While searching for answers to global and local problems, engaging in scientific research, and devising technological solutions, this attitude of care contributes to the establishment of a new form of knowledge, a knowledge that rejects objectivization and is interested not only in observations and representations but also in transformations – in forging relations with things, in being affected, and thus in changing itself and the world in a process of co-transformation."

Undercommoning Dear Reader, here are some trans*feminist reworkings of vocabularies and imaginaries linked to 'sovereignity', 'freedom', 'independence' and 'autonomy'. This cluster of words is often used in activist tech-communities to talk about the kind of tools, softwares, networks and servers we need and want. We have learned to understand them as positive, but they implicitly and sometimes explicitly foreground separation rather than relation. They evoke techno-utopias elsewhere, instead of staying with the trouble that we are already entangled in. This bookmark proposes other ways we might speak about the desirable and desired horizons of technology. Many of the terms on this list modify existing concepts; rather than trying to replace them they introduce dynamic tension. Beste Lezer, hier zijn wat trans*feministische herwerkingen van het taalgebruik en de verbeelding rond termen als soevereiniteit, vrijheid, onafhankelijkheid en autonomie. Dit cluster aan woorden komt je vaak tegen in technologisch-activistische gemeenschappen. Daar worden ze gebruikt om het te hebben over de soorten gereedschappen, softwares, netwerken en servers die we nodig hebben en in de wereld willen zien. We hebben ze leren kennen als positieve termen waar we ons achter kunnen scharen. Het zijn echter termen die impliciet en soms ook expliciet (af)scheiding inplaats van relatie benadrukken. Het zijn ook termen die technische-utopias elders veronderstellen, in tijd of plaats. Hoe kunnen we in de buurt blijven van de problematiek waar we nu mee te maken hebben. Deze boekenlegger stelt een woordenschat voor die we kunnen gebruiken om anders te spreken over wenselijke en gewenste technologische vergezichten. Vanuit de wens ze niet te vervangen, maar van een dynamische spanning te voorzien, zijn veel van de termen op deze lijst aanpassingen van bestaande concepten. Αγαπητοί Αναγνώστες, εδώ θα βρείτε τρανς-φεμινιστικές επαναπροσεγγίσεις λέξεων και φαντασιακών (σκέψεων) που συνδέονται με έννοιες 'κυριαρχίας', 'ελευθερίας', 'ανεξαρτησίας' και 'αυτονομίας'. Αυτό το σύμπλεγμα λέξεων χρησιμοποιείται συχνά σε κοινότητες τεχνολογικού ακτιβισμού όταν μιλάμε για τους τύπους εργαλείων, προγραμμάτων, δικτύων και τεχνολογικών υποδομών (server) που θέλουμε και έχουμε ανάγκη. Περιλαμβάνει όρους που έχουμε μάθει να καταλαβαίνουμε ως θετικούς, αλλά σιωπηρά ή ρητά προβάλλουν τον διαχωρισμό αντί της συσχέτισης. Όροι που παραπέμπουν σε τεχνο-ουτοπίες Aλλού, αντί να παραμένουν σε εμπλοκή με τα υπάρχοντα προβλήματα. Ο παρών σελιδοδείκτης προτείνει εναλλακτικούς τρόπους να μιλήσουμε για επιθυμητους τεχνολογικούς ορίζοντες. Πολλοί όροι σ'αυτή τη λίστα τροποποιούν υπάρχοντες έννοιες - αντι να επιδιώκουν την αντικατάστασή τους, ενεργοποιούν εντάσεις. Querido lector, he aquí algunas modificaciones trans*feministas de vocabulario e imaginarios vinculados a la `soberanía', la `Libertad', la `Independencia' y la `Autonomía'. Este grupo de palabras se utilizan a menudo en las comunidades tecnológicas activistas para hablar sobre el tipo de herramientas, softwares, redes y servidores que necesitamos y queremos. Hemos aprendido a entenderlas como positivas, pero implícita y a veces explícitamente, como una separación más que como una relación. Evocan las tecno-utopías en otros lugares, en lugar de quedarnos con el problema que ya estamos viviendo. Este marcador propone otras formas en las que podemos hablar sobre los horizontes deseables y deseados de la tecnología. Muchos de los términos de esta lista modifican los conceptos existentes; en lugar de tratar de reemplazarlos, introducen una tensión dinámica.

Or does it simply highlight the fact that the twin ideals of autonomy and participation that were once seen as not only related but actually entailing one another have proved themselves to be all too frequently incomensurable as to be a participant is always to be enrolled in some kind of infrastructure ?"
