CULTURAL TECHNIQUES GEBUNDEN

This volume presents the preliminary results of the work carried out by the interdisciplinary
cultural techniques research lab at the University of Erfurt. Taking up an impulse from media
studies  its contributions examine -from a variety of disciplinary perspectives-the interplay
between the formative processes of knowledge and action outlined within the conceptual
framework of cultural techniques. Case studies in the fields of history  literary (and media)
studies  and the history of science reconstruct seemingly fundamental demarcations such as
nature and culture  the human and the nonhuman  and materiality and the symbolical order as the
result of concrete practices and operations. These studies reveal that particularly basic
operations of spatialization form the very conditions that determine emergence within any
cultural order. Ranging from manual and philological paper work to practices of opening up and
closing off spaces and collective techniques of assembly  these case studies replace the grand
narratives of cultural history focusing on micrological examinations of specific constellations
between human and nonhuman actors.
