The contemporary, it is argued, has been “worked” by history itself into a global form. Two aspects in particular will be stressed: its immanent relationship to the temporality of crisis, and a renewed sense of history itself as a “project of crisis” (Tafuri), a putting into crisis, or a production of the present as crisis. History as project, it is suggested, is the negativity of the unity of global crisis.

We consider the notion of signal to be particularly appropriate \u0000in the consideration of contemporaneity, since signals are a constitutive element of contemporary infrastructures and our experience of time even if they are relatively undetectable. They operate underneath human perceptual \u0000thresholds as carriers, controllers, and codes, while also surfacing into perceptual and semiotic registers, as signs across various media—textual, visual, and, of course, sonic—all the while accessible as traces. Perhaps in this way \u0000it is possible to experience contemporaneity at a range of different scales— from the microtemporal to the planetary—to register both our closeness and distance from it (Agamben 2009), and to exemplify how times come together disjunctively in the present.","PeriodicalId":438413,"journal":{"name":"Futures of the Contemporary","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132171630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Everything depends on this choice: the range within which the experimenter can move, the character of the questions he is able to ask, and often also the answers he can give \" (Jacob 1987, p. 261). In the biological research literature, the notion of \" experimental system \" for the characterization of experimental arrangements has been in regular use since the first decades of the twentieth century, in particular in connection with the establishment of a vigorous in vitro biology (see, e.g., Gale and Folkes 1954, p. 1224) and with the coming into use of a variety of model organisms, especially bacteria and viruses, two features of experimental systems to which I will come back later. When Jacob speaks about \" system, \" the term is used in exactly this sense. A comparison may help set the stage. Two centuries ago, toward the end of the eighteenth century, when natural historians and biologists talked about \" systems, \" they meant systems of thought such as the \" system of the eggs \" or the \" system of the sperms \" with respect to the then concurring theories of generation, into which, sporadically, experimental arguments were inserted. Two hundred years later, it is experimental systems that determine the research context into which theorems can eventually become inserted.","PeriodicalId":438413,"journal":{"name":"Futures of the Contemporary","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124932289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
