Future-open mobility. On the significance of the body in a digitalised world (working title)
Abstract
Creative narratives of a digital future range in their diversity from picturesque solutions to social problems to digitalisation as a disruptive attractor. As incorporated dispositions, powerful blueprints for the future are already guiding subjectivation practices today and can be perceived by the subject as ambiguous and uncontrollable. If physical discomfort is the result, an openness to the future often turns into anxious hesitation. The research project is dedicated to the questions of how drafts of a digital future already influence practices of the present, how visions of the future can create an existential vulnerability and what possibilities are offered to the subject by a guide of the body to face their own discomfort and their future.
Keywords: visions of the future, subjectivisation practices, discomfort, body, tolerance of ambiguity
