The second step analyses several neglected, misunderstood or otherwise used sources such as letters and reviews in order to outline the influence of both the Darmstadt circle of Sensitives (Empfindsamen) and the G{\"o}ttingen popular philosophy on Herder's first perception of Hemsterhuis. Against the common view that Herder was attracted from the outset by Hemsterhuis and his Lettre sur les d{\´e}sirs, the present investigation demonstrates that at the beginning (and in consequence of Leuchsenring's distorted use of Hemsterhuis) he mistrusted Hemsterhuis as a champion of egotical and self-related sensitivness and that only in a second moment - through the influence among others of the public debate on his Abhandlung {\"u}ber den Ursprung der Sprache und Hemsterhuis' Lettre sur l'homme - he discovered and entusiastically claimed his own affinity to Hemsterhuis.}, language = {de} } @misc{OPUS4-23536, title = {Antropologie evoluzionistiche e scienze sociali in Dieter Claessens}, series = {IRIDE- Filosofia e discussione pubblica}, volume = {31}, journal = {IRIDE- Filosofia e discussione pubblica}, number = {1}, issn = {1122-7893}, doi = {10.1414/90191}, pages = {105 -- 118}, language = {it} } @misc{Lippert, author = {Lippert, Ingmar}, title = {Carbon Classified?

This paper visits the corporate location at which this underlying element for their knowledge is assembled to give rise to carbon emissions. Using an actor-network theory (ANT) framework, the aim is to investigate the actors who bring together the elements needed to classify their carbon emission sources and unpack the heterogeneous relations drawn on. Based on an ethnographic study of corporate agents of ecological modernisation over a period of 13 months, this paper provides an exploration of three cases of enacting classification. Drawing on ANT, we problematise the silencing of a range of possible modalities of consumption facts and point to the ontological ethics involved in such performances. In a context of global warming and corporations construing themselves as able and suitable to manage their emissions, and, additionally, given that the construction of carbon emissions has performative consequences, the underlying practices need to be declassified, i.e. opened for public scrutiny.

These hydroelectric projects have caused concern among residents adjacent to the targeted rivers to the extent that a socioenvironmental conflict has erupted in several communities in the southern Pacific side of the country, which I refer to as "water worlds". I use the term "water worlds" both to transcend the limits of a human-focused notion of community, and to refer to the mutually sustaining confluence of relations between the materiality of water, human and non-human living beings, knowledge claims and practices (acts-of-knowing) and their corresponding socioenvironmental imaginaries in particular territories and river water areas. This dissertation focuses on the acts-of-knowing and the underlying socioenvironmental imaginaries of these "water worlds". My empirical study seeks a postphemenological ethnographic approach, and draws theoretical connections between Cornelius Castoriadis and Science \& Technology Studies. Using advocacy research, it was conducted in 34 fieldwork sites, involved 14 unstructured interviews and dozens of conversations with community participants, and drew on numerous documents and visual resources. My analysis shows how:  The Environmental Impact Study (EIS) report of the San Rafael River over-simplifies the knowledge capacities of neighbor communities and environmental groups. The EIS report does not fully take into account knowledge about biophysical dynamics that members of the communities are able to co-create using alternative acts-of-knowing, such as: (i) giving attention to historical perspectives, (ii) embodying practices, and (iii) creating community coalitions in response to perceived knowledge deficits.  Local communities co-create imaginaries of water worlds associated with ways of living and the maintenance of community relations, upon which rivers have significant influence. This notion of imaginaries as a life force of connectivity challenges the underlying (modern) assumptions and treatments of rivers, as expressed in the EIS report. That is, it defies the imaginary of rivers as quantifiable, determinable, divisible, and isolated from the human and non-human communities.  Multispecies encounters in daily situations represent an important element in understanding acts-of-knowing articulated by the local communities in the "water worlds" of this dissertation. Drawing from Cornelius Castoriadis' perspective of living beings, I offer alternative imaginaries of the role of non-human animals in Costa Rica that are more intimate and affective than what I understand as mechanical and passive notions of non-human animals in the multiple spaces that they share together with humans. Overall, this dissertation contributes to a deeper (and politically significant) understanding of acts-of-knowing in a particular conflict over (more than) water. In doing so, it contributes to existing work on sociotechnical and environmental imaginaries in Science \& Technology Studies and political ecology by adopting a postphenomenological perspective, which aims to transcend taken-for-granted assumptions about acts-of-knowing under the sustainable development approach in Costa Rica.}, language = {en} } @techreport{LangPauleitBrascheetal., author = {Lang, Werner and Pauleit, Stephan and Brasche, Julia and Hausladen, Georg and Maderspacher, Johannes and Schelle, Rupert and Z{\"o}lch, Teresa}, title = {Klimaschutz und gr{\"u}ne Infrastruktur in der Stadt - Abschlussbericht}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, pages = {227}, language = {de} } @incollection{Lippert, author = {Lippert, Ingmar}, title = {Limits to Managing the Environment}, series = {Implementing Environmental and Resource Management}, booktitle = {Implementing Environmental and Resource Management}, editor = {Schmidt, Michael and Onyango, Vincent and Palekhov, Dmitry}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-540-77568-3}, pages = {209 -- 210}, abstract = {This part investigates some of the limits and contradictions of management of the environment and its resources, through detailed discussions of key dimensions of applied environmental management.

The studies presented here are linked by a common thread which recognises that the historicity of environmental management as a social practice requires us to scrutinise its specificity as a practical, social, cultural as well as political achievement. The ascension of science and modernity gave rise to a qualitative change in cultural conceptualisations of the human-nature relationship: nature became an object to be 'managed' by so-called experts. By now, however, environmental management has come under critique in that what it proposes as solutions may simultaneously comprise the causes of environmental problems. First, the means used by environmental management can be identified as instances of modernism, industrialism as well as capitalism. Second, scholars of environmental problems criticise the 'instruments' of environmental 'management' for reproducing the problems, rather than solving them.

How is the work that emerges from these different principles ultimately constituted and perceived as a definable entity and how is this important for the philosophy of technology? In contrast to composition, combining is presented as a strategy to give more importance to the processual, to the various spatial and temporal couplings and decoupling of the components of a work, to their relationship to their surroundings and also to the relatedness of the observer to the work. Gardenworks can stand for principles of combination as well as principles of composition. They are nature-culture hybrid forms, examples are discussed referring to 17th and 18th-century pleasure gardens. The emphasis on the principle of combination in the case of the English landscape garden ultimately produced a model for a sociotechnical handling with nature-culture constellations based on a policy of democratic principles.

Given that it is used in the natural, engineering, and social sciences, as well as in design studies, in the philosophy and history of technology and in science policy, perhaps this is not surprising. Indeed, it is virtually impossible to come up with an unambiguous definition for ecotechnology: It should be understood rather as an umbrella term that facilitates connections among different scientific fields and science policy and, in so doing, offers a robust trading zone of ideas and concepts. The term is part of a cultural and sociopolitical framework and, as such, wields explanatory power. Ecotechnology approaches argue for the design of ensembles that embed human action within an ecologically functional environment and mediating this relationship by technological means. Related terms, such as ecotechnics, ecotechniques, ecotechnologies, and eco-technology, are used similarly. In the 1970s, "ecotechnology," along with other terms, gave a voice to an unease and a concern with sociotechnical transformations. This eventually gave rise to the first global environmental movement expressing a comprehensive eco-cultural critique of society-environment relations. Ecotechnology was part of the language used by activists, as well as by social theorists and natural scientists working in the transdisciplinary field of applied ecology. The concept of ecotechnology helped to both establish and "smooth over" environmental matters of concern in the worlds of economics, science, and policymaking. The process of deliberation about a green modernity is still ongoing and characterizes the search for a constructive intermediation between artificial and natural systems following environmentally benign design principles. During the 1980s, disciplinary endeavors flourished in the global academic world, lending ecotechnology more and more visibility. Some of these endeavors, such as restoration ecology and ecological engineering, were rooted in the engineering sciences, but mobilized quite different traditions, namely population biology and systems biology. To date, ecotechnology has been replaced by and large by other terms in applied ecology. Another strand of work resulted in the discipline of social ecology, which developed different focal points, most notably critical political economy and a concern with nature-culture issues in the context of cultural ecology. Finally, more recently, ecotechnology has been discussed in several branches of philosophy that offer different narratives about the epistemic and ontological transformations triggered by an "ecologization" of societies and a theoretical turn toward relationality.}, language = {en} } @misc{RodriguezMansilla, author = {Rodr{\´i}guez Mansilla, Francesc Gabriel}, title = {Contested Socio-Environmental Imaginaries of Water and Rivers in Times of Hydropower Expansion in Costa Rica}, series = {Water Alternatives}, volume = {16}, journal = {Water Alternatives}, number = {2}, issn = {1965-0175}, pages = {730 -- 749}, abstract = {A wave of applications for private concessions to build run-of-the-river dams swept Costa Rica during the 2010s.

In this article, I use a multi-sited ethnographic approach, including a visual analysis, to explore the resistance of local people to these plans. My focus is on the contestation over the assumptions about water that are present in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report of a hydroelectric project plan. By showing the underlying socioenvironmental imaginaries that underpin the conflict over dam development, my article reveals ontological differences between institutionalised and non-institutionalised ways of knowing (and relating to) water. Reflecting on what I consider to be ontological disjunctions, I conclude that some of the technical aspects of the EIA report - such as the here-employed notion of environmental flow, which is estimated using only a hydrological approach - have constituted a technical orthodoxy, or dogma, that requires a rethinking of the institutionally dominant assumptions about the understanding and being of water and rivers in southern Costa Rica.}, language = {en} } @misc{RodriguezMansilla, author = {Rodr{\´i}guez Mansilla, Francesc Gabriel}, title = {Un flujo de nuevos caudales: retirada de presas en Espa{\~n}a, Alemania y Ucrania}, series = {Mirando a los r{\´i}os desde el mar.

Technological change is also associated with positive developments, such as those brought about by digital technology. Insights into both risks and opportunities are given in this chapter, and they are illustrated with examples, such as mining and digital geomedia. Technological change appears as a double-edged sword, but there is currently no methodology for assessing its consequences for World Heritage properties.

Reproduction in another medium entails a back and forth which defines the work of the translator: a novel is reproduced by a film, the movement of a salamander is reproduced by a machine, an architectural design is reproduced by a physical building. Schwarz promotes homo hortensis who practices gardening, widely understood, in different ways - by composing and imposing a plan, or by combining and incorporating the dynamics of physical and biological processes.

As its measurement is operationalised, metrical developments are being socially shaped. A European Union mandate for biennial reporting on energy poverty presents an opportunity to institutionalise new metrics and thus privilege certain measurements as standards. While combining indicators at multiple scales is desirable to measure multi-dimensional aspects, it entails challenges such as database availability, coverage and limited disaggregated resolution. This article converges scholarship on metrics - which problematises the act of measurement - and on energy poverty - which apprehends socio-political and techno-economic particulars. Scholarship on metrics suggests that any basket of indicators risks silencing significant but hard to measure aspects, or unwarrantedly privileging others. State-of-the-art energy poverty scholarship calls for indicators that represent contextualised energy use issues, including energy access and quality, expenditure in relation to income, built environment related aspects and thermal comfort levels, while retaining simplicity and comparability for policy traction. We frame energy poverty metrology as the socially shaped measurement of a varied, multi-dimensional phenomenon within historically bureaucratic and publicly distant energy sectors, and assess the risks and opportunities that must be negotiated. To generate actionable knowledge, we propose an analytical framework with five dimensions of energy poverty metrology, and illustrate it using multi-scalar cases from three European countries. Dimensions include historical trajectories, data flattening, contextualised identification, new representation and policy uptake. We argue that the measurement of energy poverty must be informed by the politics of data and scale in order to institutionalise emerging metrics, while safeguarding against their co-optation for purposes other than the deep and rapid alleviation of energy poverty. This 'dimensioned' understanding of metrology can provide leverage to push for decisive action to address the structural underpinnings of domestic energy deprivation.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Alpsancar, author = {Alpsancar, Suzana}, title = {Vom Fahrzeug zum Fahrding.

Her contributions, addressing concepts' performances and effects, are groundbreaking in the study of generalising logics, difference, and ontological politics. This analysis of how concepts get enacted responds to key challenges of social sciences and humanities inquiry.Verran's 'relational empiricism' analyses the many and various practices of conceptualising and their effects. Making relations is a central practice in conceptualising and, thus, part of her analysis. Her approach is relational in that the concepts she analyses are understood as doing something: They relate and separate entities. It is empirical as Verran analyses embodied experiences of worlds/worldings. Central in relational empiricism is the inquiry into tensions and overlaps between concepts as doing differences. Verran is best known for her ethnographic work, particularly on the concept of 'number' (Lippert \& Verran, 2018; Verran, 2001).For Verran, concepts are not merely an intellectual category. Rather, concepts are also embodied and lived, collectively shared and performed in 'repeated routine performances' (Verran, 2001, p. 157). In Verran's material-semiotic analysis, concepts have a realness and are performed or reperformed in situations. This renders concepts as particular in time and place.A world shaped by particular and situated concepts, then, is a world of differences. These differences are not threatening but workable, albeit amid generative dissensus. This take allows possibilities for creating 'futures that are different from the past' (Verran, 2001, p. 35). Verran has developed analytical tools for recognising and doing difference together, for ongoing relating and going-on with others.Before this entry presents three Verranian tools, it locates Verran's work and influences.

With this problematisation, this essay argues for a praxeography of STS, involving methodographic, conceptographic and cartographic analyses.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Schwarz, author = {Schwarz, Astrid}, title = {Digit[ale] Dinge: ordnende Finger in unserer Gesellschaft.}, series = {(Un)ergr{\"u}ndlich - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz als Ordnungsstifterin}, booktitle = {(Un)ergr{\"u}ndlich - K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz als Ordnungsstifterin}, editor = {Krenn, Karoline and Hunt, Simon and Parycek, Peter}, publisher = {Kompetenzzentrum {\"O}ffentliche IT 2020}, address = {Berlin}, pages = {49 -- 66}, language = {de} } @incollection{Schwarz, author = {Schwarz, Astrid}, title = {From Homo Faber to Homo Hortensis: Gardening Techniques in the Anthropocene}, series = {Gardens and Human Agency in the Anthropocene}, booktitle = {Gardens and Human Agency in the Anthropocene}, editor = {Diogo, Maria Paula and Rodrigues, Ana Duarte and Sim{\~o}es, Ana and Sarso, Davide}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {New York}, isbn = {9780815346661}, pages = {112 -- 123}, language = {de} } @incollection{Xylander, author = {Xylander, Cheryce von}, title = {Gem{\"u}t}, series = {23 Manifeste zu Bildakt und Verk{\"o}rperung}, booktitle = {23 Manifeste zu Bildakt und Verk{\"o}rperung}, editor = {Lauschke, Marion and Schneider, Pablo}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-3-11-055962-0}, pages = {77 -- 88}, language = {de} } @book{Rossel, author = {Rossel, Olivier}, title = {FAQ yourself : a speculative tutorial on how to enter the knowledge market}, publisher = {Sedici Verlag}, address = {Basel}, isbn = {978-3-906912-04-2}, pages = {155}, abstract = {Nebst dem omnipr{\"a}senten Cat-Industrial Complex findet sich im World Wide Web etwas versteckter der m{\"o}glicherweise umfangreichste schriftliche Fragenkatalog, der jemals von Menschen angelegt wurde.

Indeed, one might articulate a history of STS analytic concepts and theories by tracking number studies. One might begin such an undertaking by pointing out that studies in STS followed anthropology in proposing numbers as social entities, noting that in anthropology number studies have featured since the end of the nineteenth century. When STS studies generally were focussing on epistemology, the analytic framings of number scholarship in STS reflected that. From the 1970s until the end of the century number studies proliferated. In line with other areas of STS, a focus on ontology began to appear in number studies in the mid 1990s, albeit at first hesitantly (Watson, 1990; Watson-Verran, 1995). But it was not the STS past with its range of number studies that interested us when we set out to assemble this special issue of Science \& Technology Studies. We were more interested to show how contemporary number studies were deploying new analytics that are emerging in STS. To this end we were concerned to have contributors reflect on the analytic framing they were using to make their STS number study and to comparatively articulate the analytic affordances it offered. In beginning we register our delighted surprise at how this special issue turned out, noting how much we learned along the way from the authors who have contributed. We offer six papers each of which we see as broaching a novel issue in STS number studies. They attend to a very wide range of sociotech-nical situations where numbers and/or algorithms feature. The nexus numbers and/as algorithms is puzzlingly relevant to taking on numbers. Recognising that numbers both are and are not algorithms (and vice versa) we begin by making clear how we see relations between numbers and algorithms. While algorithms mobilise a protocol that elaborates how to work relations between numbers, e.g. embedded in a database, numbers express a protocol that lays out how to work relations embedded within a number as it comes into being in the banal routines of enumeration, as for example in Watson (1990).}, language = {en} } @misc{Lippert, author = {Lippert, Ingmar}, title = {On Not Muddling Lunches and Flights: Narrating a Number, Qualculation, and Ontologising Troubles}, series = {Science \& Technology Studies}, volume = {31}, journal = {Science \& Technology Studies}, number = {4}, issn = {2243-4690}, doi = {10.23987/sts.66209}, pages = {53 -- 74}, abstract = {Calculating and making public carbon footprints is becoming self-evident for multinational corporations. Drawing on ethnographic data I narrate of the calculative routine practices involved in that process. The narration shows how routine yet sophisticated mathematical transformations are involved in retrieving salient information, and second that mathematical consistency is readily interrupted by 'dirty data'. Such interruptions call for opportunistic data management in devising work-arounds, which effect enough mathematical coherence for the number to hold together. Foregrounding an episode of calculative data retrieval, interruption and work-around contrivance, I employ it to make a comparative reading of two STS analytics, arguing: whereas Callon and Law's (2005) analytic technique of qualculation reveals the episode of data management and work around contrivance as a teleologically oriented process that manages to bridge mathematical inconsistency, Verran's technique of ontologising troubles enables us to recognise how a number-as-network configures its particular kind of certainty and coherence, how it sticks.}, language = {en} } @techreport{LangPauleitBrascheetal., author = {Lang, Werner and Pauleit, Stephan and Brasche, Julia and Hausladen, Georg and Maderspacher, Johannes and Schelle, Rupert and Z{\"o}lch, Teresa}, title = {Leitfaden f{\"u}r klimaorientierte Kommunen in Bayern - Handlungsempfehlungen aus dem Projekt „Klimaschutz und gr{\"u}ne Infrastruktur in der Stadt" am Zentrum f{\"u}r Stadtnatur und Klimaanpassung}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, pages = {48}, language = {de} } @misc{Schwarz, author = {Schwarz, Astrid}, title = {De Bont, Raf: Stations in the Field.

This data is also highly promissory. But as this paper argues, such data fails both consumers and citizens. The governance of climate change seemingly requires a strong foundation of data on emission sources. Economists approach climate change as a market failure, where the optimisation of the atmosphere is to be evidence based and data driven. Citizens or consumers, state or private agents of control, all require deep access to information to judge emission realities. Whether we are interested in state-led or in neoliberal 'solutions' for either democratic participatory decision-making or for preventing market failure, companies' emissions need to be known. This paper draws on 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a Fortune 50 company's environmental accounting unit to show how carbon reporting interferes with information symmetry requirements, which further troubles possibilities for contesting data. A material-semiotic analysis of the data practices and infrastructures employed in the context of corporate emissions disclosure details the situated political economies of data labour along the data processing chain. The explicit consideration of how information asymmetries are socially and computationally shaped, how contexts are shifted and how data is systematically straightened out informs a reflexive engagement with Big Data. The paper argues that attempts to automatise environmental accounting's veracity management by means of computing metadata or to ensure that data quality meets requirements through third-party control are not satisfactory.

This chapter argues that 'successful' corporate carbon accounting practices efficiently and skilfully ignore significant political implications of the company's practical relation to climate change. 'Successful' in this case signifies what matters for the company to compete well in capitalist markets. By examining voluntary carbon accounting at a financial services corporation, I invite an engagement with how the technicality and politics of carbon interrelate in accounting.

Yet, far less clear, is how to integrate climate change into schooling to cultivate enduring educational experiences. The goals of this paper are twofold. The first is to explore and identify the visions and trends that guide climate change educational research. In this sense, we aimed to answer the following question: what visions and roles does climate change educational research propose (and also foreclose) for children and teachers in a changing world? To address this question, we conducted a literature review of about fifty relevant publications on education and climate change spanning across countries in the last decade. Our findings indicate that the emphasis of climate change educational research so far has been mainly on the literacy rate of pupils and teachers, and also on the conceptualizations and framing of this theme. This means that, for the most part, climate change educational research has been concerned with visions of deficits of knowledge and misunderstandings of basic scientific principles, especially by pupils. Drawing from a variety of influences, such as critical pedagogy, cultural, and science studies, the second goal of this paper is to assess the main implications of such visions and roles enacted through climate change educational research. In this sense, we critically highlight the functions that they propose for children and teachers in a world of shifting climates where increasing uncertainty is inescapable. As a result of this discussion, we urge a reassessment of learning about climate change in the classrooms based on more socially and ecologically situated explorations that overcome the limitations of current trends in climate change educational research.}, language = {en} } @misc{Marino, author = {Marino, Mario}, title = {Machiavelli e Machiavellismo nello Herder della seconda met{\`a} degli anni sessanta.}, series = {Etica \& Politica / Ethics \& Politics}, volume = {17}, journal = {Etica \& Politica / Ethics \& Politics}, number = {3}, issn = {1825-5167}, pages = {32 -- 46}, language = {it} }
