These texts have been collectively written, albeit in a slightly different manner, so the reflections are inevitably drawn from both writing experiences.…”

“…Richard: Moderation, in the context of the previous article (Peters et al, 2016), is not to argue for an adjustment in relation to the value of one text to another. The symmetry already exists on account of the number of words that each author has to work with and the presumption that the maximum diversity of approach in the collective will render not a universal picture but one where its problems are approachable and able to be engaged with.…”

ABSTRACT. This is the second text in the series collectively written by members of the Editors' Collective, which comprises a series of individual and collaborative reflections upon the experience of contributing to the previous and first text written by the Editors' Collective: 'Towards a Philosophy of Academic Publishing.' In the article, contributors reflect upon their experience of collective writing and summarize the main themes and challenges. They show that the act of collective writing disturbs the existing systems of academic knowledge creation, and link these disturbances to the age of the digital reason. They conclude that the collaborative and collective action is a thing of learning-by-doing, and that collective writing seems to offer a possible way forward from the co-opting of academic activities by economics. Through detaching knowledge creation from economy, collaborative and collective writing address the problem of forming new collective intelligences.Keywords: collective writing; collective authorship; collaborative writing; Editors' Collective; collective intelligence; co-production; public goods; academic labour IntroductionPetar: This is the second paper in the series of texts collectively written by members of the Editors' Collective -a small New Zealand-based organisation comprised of editors and reviewers of academic journals, most in the fields of education and philosophy. 1 The first paper in the series, 'Toward a philosophy of academic publishing' (Peters, Jandrić, Irwin, Locke, Devine, Heraud, Gibbons, Besley, White, Forster, Jackson, Grierson, Mika, Stewart, Tesar, Brighouse, Arndt, Lăzăroiu, Mihăilă, Benade, Legg, Ozolins, and Roberts, 2016) was an experiment in the collective writing process. The experiment consisted of two stages. In the first stage, each contributor (or group of contributors) was invited to write 500 words on a topic that was initially arrived at through discussion and sequenced by agreement. The idea behind the process was for contributors individually or in groups to submit their work to a moderator (Richard Heraud) who sequenced the

“…What we have witnessed are academics not willing to travel to conference not in order to protect themselves, but to protect those with lower immune systems and more prone towards respiratory illnesses. This act of care is much needed by individuals, and is linked to care and being with the collective, as Peters et al (2016) have pushed in the collective ecology of writing. This is an antidote to the private individualistic hording of resources in the time where panic (exemplified by media) is reaching out to everyone on this planet.…”

In The Onlife Manifesto: Being Human in a Hyperconnected Era Luciano Floridi and his associates examine various aspects of the contemporary meaning of humanity. Yet, their insights give less thought to the political economy of techno-capitalism that in large measure creates ICTs and leads to their further innovation, development and commercialization. This article responses to Floridi's work and examines political economy of the blurred distinction between human, machine and nature in the postdigital context. Taking lessons from early history of the Internet across the Eastern and the Western Bloc, it examines ideological underpinnings of development of information and communication technologies. The paper points towards the postdigital challenge of the rising importance of biological sciences, their mutual connection with information sciences, and the society at large. It introduces the concept of bio-informational capitalism, and closely examines the relationships between biology and information. Based on authors' previous works the chapter introduces the concepts of homo economicus and homo collaborans, and claims that their mutual differences do not make a case for a dualist philosophy-instead, the two concepts should be understood as opposite poles of a continuum. However, it shows that the biological challenge is not a mere continuation of our existing (research) questions, and that it introduces new postdigital ways of understanding our reality. In conclusion, the chapter calls for developing a new, postdigital language of inquiry, which reinvents the digital challenge and invents its relationship to biology.
