  Schalten und walten. Towards Operative Ontologies

  IKKM Biennial Conference 2019

  The conference will conclude the IKKM six-year research program on ‘Operative Ontologies’. A term seeming contradictory at first, it assumes that everything that exists is not simply present or given but has been called into being through media and their operations in the most general sense: The ruling (das Walten) of nature as well as the ruling of the social reside under the command of technology, which as increasingly digitized technology is based on switching operations (das Schalten) — e.g. the achievements of bioengineering or the computational models of planet Earth. When embodied operations establish ontological orders and the difference between the ontic and the ontological thus re-enters the ontic, this demands a radical remodeling of ontology. The IKKM Biennial Conference 2019 therefore investigates the given with regard to the procedures through which it has been made possible, produced, set up, brought into the world and called into being — “switched on” — in the first place.

  Writing the sciences today

  Le thème central du colloque est l'internet, et les reconfigurations des disciplines universitaires depuis son essor : en termes de pratiques (outils, méthodes, données , savoir-faire, etc.), de problématiques (nouvelles, réactualisées, ou infléchies du fait de l'internet) et d'équilibres (recomposition des frontières entre disciplines, émergence de disciplines mixtes). Le propos n'est pas de raisonner en termes de révolution, mais d'articuler les changements présents avec le passé lointain ou récent, en explorant la notion d'instrument : de techniques et de méthodes intellectuelles.
