The Way

This chapter examines the use of symbolism in today’s technoscientific industry. Whitehead’s work on symbolism elucidates how technoscientific production has been captured by a system of political and economic meanings (neoliberalism), which disqualifies all forms of resistance. It draws heavily on Isabelle Stengers’ recent plea for a ‘slow science’ in the face of fast and competitive technoscience in order to expose how it is that we are in dire need of new forms of symbolism in today’s scientific knowledge economy. Along the way, it also considers how Whitehead’s notion of the ‘proposition’ in Process and Reality makes a key intervention into this discussion, and reinforces the importance of symbolism in the culture of twenty-first century technoscience. Ultimately, this chapter contends that technoscience requires new propositions for feeling its products and practices outside of neoliberalized symbolic codes.
