Susanne Witzgall; Sympoietic Design as an Ethical Project in Perraudin, L., Winkler, C., Mareis, C., Held, M. (Eds. 2023); Material Trajectories: Designing with Care

The reading of Material Trajectories: Designing with Care will be continued. At the previous meeting, the foreword and an article from the chapter ‘Positioning Care’ were both discussed. This meeting focuses on the article Sympoietic Design as an Ethical Project by Susanne Witzgall from the chapter Sympoietic Futures. Previous readings have led to much discussion about the claim to objectivity of science and the demarcation between the natural sciences, humanities and cultural studies. In this context, we recommend looking into Karen Barad’s concept of Agential Realism, for example as described in Sigrid Schmitz; Karen Barad: Agentieller Realismus als Rahmenwerk für die Science & Technology Studies.
