Politics of matter: justice and organisation in technoscienceTools Papadopoulos, Dimitris (2014) Politics of matter: justice and organisation in technoscience. Social Epistemology, 28 (1). pp. 70-85. ISSN 1464-5297
AbstractThe technoscientific capacity to manipulate and remake the material substance of being is at the core of an expanding ontological imaginary that permeates culture in Global North societies. What are the political implications of this imaginary? What are the absences, the residues, the invisibilised practices and actors of technoscience’s ontological politics? The paper interrogates this form of politics, argues for the radical democratisation of technoscience and explores how it is possible to pose questions of justice without reducing the material to the social. It concludes with a discussion of the idea of crafting alternative ontologies as commitment to a material organisation of justice.
