Welcome to Concept Work
ARC is beginning a new project on concept work, which will be housed on blog software. Our hope is that it can function as a new kind of space for the production of collaborative work.
The Concept Work Blog will focus on how concept work fits in to a broader approach to inquiry that is being developed in ARC. To some extent, exchanges on this topic have taken place on existing blogs, particularly on the Biopower and the Contemporary blog, which has been the site of extensive exchanges on What is a problematization? and on Dewey and Latour. By creating a space specifically for concept work, and limiting posts to extended discussions, we aspire to produce a series of such substantial exchanges in a disciplined fashion, and to capture these in ARC’s exchange series located in the document repository.
In the initial phase, the blog will be edited and moderated by Tobias Rees, who will also propose the first series of topics.
