SUMMARY:Conspiratio: 4th Issue
DESCRIPTION:The previous issue of Conspiratio recalled Arendt’s claim that the world as meaningful to us —\nour world — presupposes human sense experience. She argued that modern mathematical and\nexperimental sciences were not and could not be anchored by sense experience and that,\ntherefore, the world according to modern sciences cannot be our world. So-called Big Science\nhas only accelerated the production of insensible knowledges and of disembodying technologies\nsince the second world war. Plastic words, data visualizations, online avatars, medical risk\nprofiles, and much more, now smother sensual reality.\nIllich devoted the last two decades of his life to historical studies of the body and sense\nperceptions. Notable in this regard was his collaboration with Barbara Duden in what she calls\ntheir “quest for a past somatics.” That quest was prompted by his growing awareness that self-\nperception was rapidly becoming disembodied. Illich had already argued that technologies shape\nself-understanding. Excessive exposure to the medical establishment reshapes perceptions of\npain and dying as surely as excessive habituation to being moved by cars and trains shape\nunderstandings of movement and distance. By the mid-1980s, he was exercised by the intuition\nthat the “recasting of the ego” was not an accidental by-product but the direct target of\ncontemporary techno-scientific productions.\nThe theme for the forthcoming issue of Conspiratio is Flesh/Body. You are invited to submit\narticles that explore technogenic body and self-perceptions. Is the body still the site of sense\nexperience? What can we know or feel if the body becomes a technogenic object? How does the\nselfie relate to the self? What did prior epoch-specific bodies say of those historical moments?\n
