Von Canguilhem zu Haraway
(2013)
Vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte des physikalischen Objektivitätsbegriffs zieht die Physikerin und Epistemologin Françoise Balibar in ihrem Beitrag "Von Canguilhem zu Haraway" einen Vergleich der unterschiedlichen Konzepte der Objektivität von Haraways situiertem Wissen und Canguilhems regionaler Epistemologie. Dabei erinnert sie daran, dass Objektivität im physikalischen Sinn nicht, wie Haraway unterstelle, auf eine repräsentationale Identität der Objekte ziele, sondern dass das Objekt der Physik durch die Beziehungen generiert werde, die sich zwischen Tatsachen herstellen.
The article sketches a critical paradigm for interdisciplinary work that is centred on tension as a highly ambiguous and ultimately deeply paradoxical notion. It highlights that a unifying account of what tension is or a systematic classification of its diverse meanings would risk resolving tensions between different approaches and privileging a particular mode of doing so. Successively focussing on aesthetic, socio-political, and physical tensions, the essay articulates tension rather as a broad umbrella term that is stretched by multi-perspectival articulations, unified through its intensive surface tension, and at the same time full of transformative and generative potentials. In particular, it proposes that tensions between different cultural or disciplinary fields can be made productive by inducing tensions within each field so that different fields can be related to each other on the basis of tension rather than some substantial commonality.
