Our time is one of general disruption, in which crisis is the normal state of affairs. In a situation characterized by climate catastrophe, pandemic, war, interruptions to supply chains, and contestations of democracy, the modern Western categories of “progress” and “History” implode. Disruption describes our socio-historical experience, in which break, interruption, discontinuity, take on a very different sense than in modernity: They become hegemonic and begin to entirely dominate the onto-epistemological condition and socio-historical reality. But does the present attest solely to such immense collapse? Or is this disruptive un-worlding simultaneously a transformation, an opening to a plurality of worlds in the ruins of a formerly hegemonic world? There is on the one hand, the very real ends of the world and increasing threat to the possibility of any world; and on the other hand, the undeniable multiplicity of worlds that reveal themselves at present, their coming to presence disrupting the unity of the one World. This difference confronts us, between the technical homogenization of all into a worldless planet, and a proliferation of techniques of world-making. It is at this tension that we encounter the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy. At times, he would see only the impossibility of any world due to techno-capitalist disruption and homogenization of sense. At others, he would attest to a transformation of sense, the flipside of technoeconomic hegemony, presenting a multiplicity of worlds. Are we at the precipice of such a transformation of the sense of the world? Or are we outside any world, in a techno-economic disruption that is no longer existence, but which nevertheless determines it? With Nancy’s companionship, we propose to take up these questions, focusing on the conceptual triad of disruption, technique and world. Through two days of presentations and discussions, we hope to re-think the present, between the techno-economic disruption of world, and the techniques of (re)composing worlds.
