description | The notion of ‘phenomenotechnique’ which Gaston Bachelard introduced in the 1930’s has gained popularity among historians of science who used it in order to insist upon the technical and social mediateness of scientific facts. In philosophy, in the wake of the current triumphal return to epistemological ‘realism’, the idea of phenomenotechnique has been dismissed as an alleged relic of ‘constructivism’. The article advocates for a different reading of ‘phenomenotechnique’, which, rather than insisting on the fabrication of the scientific fact, highlights the intrinsic connection of phenomenality and technicality. Phenomena are not simply given, they must be brought to visibility. Such a premise forces not only to reconceptualize the role traditionally granted to technicity within aesthetics, but also that of aesthesis within the technical operations. |
