A Systemic Approach to Hypercitizenship

The paradigm shifts which featured systemic thinking from the 1980s to the end of the last century and the very beginning of the 21st led to some radical epistemological changes at the crossroads between sociology and communication sciences through the impact of the emerging technology sciences. The key theoretical assumption is that the multidimensional conceptualization of hypercitizenship is the autopoietic and self-referential way in which the organized and globalized social system is redesigning and reconfiguring itself beyond the old, neo-feudal scenario of social actions mirrored by the methodological nationalism of old fashioned social sciences. The aim of this essay is to propose a systemic approach based on nine turboconditions in order to understand the emergent hypercitizenship within the wider global scenarios characterized by the convergence of the RING (robotics, informatics, nanotechnologies and genetics) singularity and the development of the process that I call “Time Zero of Desire”.
