Ep. #112 - Graham Harman
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.What do the Super Bowl, horse-based gymnastics, the fact that magic might be really real and bragging about Bruno Latour have in common? Why, they are on your co-hosts minds this week on the podcast. Then (13:00) we are most fortunate to welcome philosopher Graham Harman (Sci-Arc, https://doctorzamalek2.wordpress.com) to the program. Graham starts us off with a beginner’s guide to his philosophy, object oriented ontology (ooo) including what does and does not count as an “object” in his thinking. That gets us to the influence of Heidegger and Husserl upon ooo and from there to the optimal relationship between philosophy and science, why aesthetics is first philosophy, the problem of causation and how we are all Stanislavskian method actors when it comes to the experience of art. The conversation turns from there to speculative realism and ooo’s effort to reintroduce metaphysics to continental philosophy. Graham explains why ooo isn’t as anti-Kantian as it seems and also speaks out for what cannot be measured by science in a time when the humanities are under siege. We then explore the relationship between philosophy and physics with the help of Karan Barad’s work on agential realism and talk about ooo’s place in the broader anti-anthropocentric turn in the human sciences since the 1970s. Graham explains to us how Latour became such an important part of his post-Heideggerian recovery, what he makes of the Anthropocene, and how ethics and politics intersect with ooo. We close on his recent book Immaterialism: Objects and Social Theory (Polity, 2016) and what he discovered about the Dutch East India company along the way. What happens when humans aren’t 50% of every situation? Listen on and find out

De objectgerichte filosofie van Graham Harman
Get PDFDe Amerikaanse filosoof Graham Harman kwam in het najaar van 2006 naar Nederland vanuit Caïro, waar hij als universitair hoofddocent verbonden is aan de American University.Krisisredacteuren Noortje Marres en Ruth Sonderegger spraken met hem over zijn filosofische project. Harman probeert een objectgerichte metafysica te ontwikkelen, een post-kantiaanse visie op mens en wereld. Hij laat zich daarbij inspireren door drie verschillende denktradities: de Duitse fenomenologie van Husserl en Heidegger, het zeventiende-eeuwse verlichtingsdenken van bijvoorbeeld Leibniz, en de Franse socioloog en filosoof Bruno Latour

Graham Harman, immaterialism:Objects and social theory
Get PDFThe philosopher Graham Harman argues that contemporary debates about the nature of reality as such, and about the nature of objects in particular, can be meaningfully applied to social theory and practice. With Immaterialism, he has recently provided a case-based demonstration of how this could happen. But social theorists have compelling reasons to oppose object-oriented social theory’s 15 principles. Fidelity to Harman’s aesthetic foundationalism, and his particular use of serial endosymbiosis theory as a mechanism of social change, constrain the very practices which it is supposed to enable. However, social theory stands to benefit from object-oriented philosophy through what we call posthuman relationism – characterised as a commitment to the reality of the nonhuman, but not divorced from the human. The emphasis in object-oriented social theory on how objects withdraw from cognitive or affective capture and representation needs to be tempered by an equal focus on how objects appeal.</p
Graham Harman y la filosofía islámica. Origen y problemas de la causación vicaria
Get PDFWithin the philosophical current of speculative realism, one can see a strong influence of Islamic philosophy, in terms of concepts developed in it. In the case of the philosopher Graham Harman, with the conceptualization of the term vicarious causation, he came to elaborate a causal theory, which has its referents in the theory of causality of Islamic theological-philosophical thought, which encompasses both âsh\u27arî and \u27irfân or Islamic mystic.Dentro de la corriente filosófica del realismo especulativo se puede apreciar una fuerte influencia de la filosofía islámica, en cuanto a conceptos desarrollados en ella. En el caso del filósofo Graham Harman con la conceptualización del término causación vicaria llega a elaborar una teoría causal, que tiene sus referentes en la teoría de la causalidad del pensamiento teológico-filosófico islámico, abarcando tanto al ocasionalismo âsh‘arî como al ‘irfân o mística islámica
Graham Harman y la teoría social pos-sintesis: la miral orientada al objecto y sus implicaciones
No full textA Ontologia Orientada ao Objeto (conhecida também como OOO) é uma das grandes correntes filosóficas contemporâneas, fundada pelo filósofo Graham Harman, atualmente professor da Sci-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture), em Los Angeles, California. Embora popular no próprio universo filosófico, além da arquitetura, e das artes, em geral, mobilizando uma série de debates intensos ao redor das principais faculdades do mundo, ao lado de grandes nomes como Žižek, Latour e outros, ainda é bem desconhecida no Brasil e em vários países de língua portuguesa, principalmente pela falta de tradução de seus textos, o que acaba criando um obstáculo em seu caminho. O objetivo desse pequeno ensaio é sugerir uma pequena introdução ao pensamento de Graham Harman, além de entender uma das suas possíveis implicações no campo das Ciências Sociais, contrastando com aquilo que poderíamos chamar do seu pano de fundo clássico. Existiria, talvez, uma nova forma de Teoria Social, uma que superasse aquilo que Jeffrey Alexander chamou de “novo movimento teórico”
