SUMMARY:Yves Citton: "The Humanities' Choice: Knowledge Economy or Culture of Interpretation?"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation delivers a first-person anthropological report on a dive to the seafloor in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s three-person submersible\, Alvin. Meditating on the sounds rather that the sights of the dive\, Helmreich explores multiple meanings of immersion: as a descent into liquid\, an absorption in activity\, and the all-encompassing entry of an anthropologist into a cultural medium. Tuning in to the rhythms of Alvin as a submarine cyborg\, he shows how interior and exterior soundscapes create a sense of immersion\, and he argues that torquing media theory to include water as a medium can make explicit the technical structures and social practices of sounding\, hearing\, and listening that support senses — scientific\, everyday\, and anthropological — of embodied sonic presence. \nStefan Helmreich is an anthropologist who studies life scientists\, from those who engage in the computer modeling of living things (Silicon Second Nature: Culturing Artificial Life in a Digital World\, University of California Press\, 1998) to those who work in deep-sea environments (Alien Ocean: Anthropological Voyages in Microbial Seas\, University of California Press\, 2009). He is particularly interested in the limits of “life” as an analytical category for contemporary biology.
