Together with his family, his cherished colleagues, many friends, admiring readers, and grateful students, we mourn the loss of Michel Callon, who passed away on July 28th. He was one of the intellectual giants of our era. See this insightful interview sociologica.unibo.it/article/view...

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away.

A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.

With much thanks to the editors @delaeconomia.bsky.social @philiproscoe.bsky.social and the anonymous reviewers, this piece co-written w/ Karl Palmås is freshly published.

doi.org/10.1080/1753...

In other words, as hinted before, one way to explain the success of designerly approaches is that they do not hold on to the same pretense of calculability that the earlier approaches (strategic planning, capital budgeting, forecasting) have been scripted to adhere to. Here, though, it is worth noting that this notion of uncertainty, against which both scripts of predictability and speculation are set, has been widely naturalized in discourses about future making. Such a notion of uncertainty has taken broader importance in recent decades, as the currency of any notion of certainty in economic life has waned, if not entirely vanished. Yet, the very notion of an accelerated uncertainty that has propelled the ascendancy of design as a practice that thrives in ambiguity in dealing with ‘wicked problems’ is itself based on a particular temporal ontology in which we are at every moment always breaking from the past – an antigenealogical tendency that is at the heart of the project of modernity, as Sloterdijk (2016) has shown. Here, as Savage (2021, 95) argues, the predictability of long-term processes, such as climate breakdown or rising inequality, is conveniently repressed in favor of a ‘giddy search for novelty’ that fails to recognize the ‘weight of the past.’ The idea of a radically uncertain future becomes a convenient narrative, even a truism, rendering it a fictional expectation in and of itself, which has set an opaque veil over longue durée continuities. Indeed, contemporary future making is imbued with this very modern inclination to continuously sever ties with the past, with design contributing to its obsession with newness. Perhaps a way to deploy more critical terms of engagement to counter this tendency is to move from the idea of making futures to the idea of inheriting futures in need of redirection (Bonnet, Landivar, and Monnin 2021; see also Fry 2009).

The London Conference in Critical Thought takes place at Birkbeck, June 20-21.

I'm curating a stream on "critical thought maintenance", interested in the organisational pragmatics of putting together/holding together spaces for collective thinking.

CFP Deadline April 4.
www.londoncritical.co.uk

Critical Thought Maintenance: How to mediate intellectual and organisational form (and get away with it!) Stream organiser: Toby Bennett

(Abridged text follows)

Collective critical thought takes form in a number of ways. ... typically heavily mediated. Ideas may be formed through an organisation or institution ... conferred with a legal status that defines specific capacities on its members, protections for its intellectual assets, and responsibilities to its constituents ... shaped by a technical or informational architecture ... may become focused interventions into public life, shared using a wider communications infrastructure ... labelled, or become retrospectively “branded”, as schools, movements or paradigms ... may (or may not) thereby be transformed into financial value, which must in turn be managed and maintained as labour ... may be more informal or freeform, in loose-knit collectives or communities ... but enabling these to scale up, to endure over time, or to reach across space, is yet another matter.

This stream invites participants to reflect on the array of strategies, techniques and routines by which critical thought is given organisational form in specific contexts and circumstances. As well as the conceptual frames and rhetorical forms in which ideas are materialised and contained, papers will also address the practices through which they are generated, shared and valued, alongside the forms of coordination, administration, funding, mediation and general upkeep by which they come to be maintained. ... Contributions will no doubt be formulated in dialogue with the broader structural environment – of funding cuts, market pressures, technological hype cycles, political resentments, epistemicide – which places critical thought under systemic attack. Historic models, exemplars, case studies and cautionary tales will be just as welcome as schemes for responding to present-day crises.
