With his contribution, Performativity and Nothingness, Franco ‚Bifo’ Berardi takes us onto an urgent and yet poetic rhetorical realm. Deriving from his publication The Uprising. On Poetry and Finance (2012), his lecture questions the relationship of the physical world of bodies and the abstraction of finance and language within our digital economy. Herein, poetry to him holds a potentiality against growing standardization of behavior, affect and expression.
