Kulturpolitik der Weltbeziehungen: Transformation, Programmatik und Geschichte

Kulturpolitik bedeutet Beziehungsarbeit: Wie finden Kultureinrichtungen, Kulturprojekte sowie Formen der kreativen Zusammenarbeit zu gesellschaftlicher Wirksamkeit? Welche Programmatik verbindet uns, macht Kultur zum Gegenstand von Politik oder Engagement und sichert zugleich kulturelle Autonomie? Tobias J. Knoblich skizziert Möglichkeiten, wie eine hochtransformative Gesellschaft Kulturpolitik neu ausrichten kann, welche Erzählungen diese braucht und welchen Strömungen sie ausgesetzt ist. Er setzt den Fokus dabei auf Weltbeziehungen - eine Einbettung des Menschen, die von den planetaren Grenzen der Kultur bis zur notwendigen Stärkung von Gemeinschaft die sozialen Beziehungen in der individualisierten Digitalmoderne stärken will

Implications of Action-Oriented Paradigm Shifts in Cognitive Science

An action-oriented perspective changes the role of an individual from a passive observer to an actively engaged agent interacting in a closed loop with the world as well as with others. Cognition exists to serve action within a landscape that contains both. This chapter surveys this landscape and addresses the status of the pragmatic turn. Its potential influence on science and the study of cognition are considered (including perception, social cognition, social interaction, sensorimotor entrainment, and language acquisition) and its impact on how neuroscience is studied is also investigated (with the notion that brains do not passively build models, but instead support the guidance of action). A review of its implications in robotics and engineering includes a discussion of the application of enactive control principles to couple action and perception in robotics as well as the conceptualization of system design in a more holistic, less modular manner. Practical applications that can impact the human condition are reviewed (e.g., educational applications, treatment possibilities for developmental and psychopathological disorders, the development of neural prostheses). All of this foreshadows the potential societal implications of the pragmatic turn. The chapter concludes that an action-oriented approach emphasizes a continuum of interaction between technical aspects of cognitive systems and robotics, biology, psychology, the social sciences, and the humanities, where the individual is part of a grounded cultural system
