另一个具有里程碑意义的ZKM出版物，重新定义政治作为一个关注的事情，周围的流动和广泛的选民的公众聚集;与贡献的100多名作家和艺术家。在这个开创性的编辑和策展项目中，100多位作家，艺术家和哲学家重新思考政治是什么。在一个政治动荡和虎头蛇尾的时代，这本书将政治重新定义为在事物领域中运作。政治不仅仅是一个竞技场、一种职业或一种制度，而是一种对引起公众流动和广泛选民注意的事物的关注。但事情是如何公之于众的？我们可能会问，如果我们不知道如何使事情公开化，那么共和国、保留地、公共事物又是什么呢？还有许多其他类型的集会，它们不是通常意义上的政治集会，而是围绕着科学实验室、超市、教堂以及涉及河流、风景和空气等自然资源的争端等事物聚集公众。《把事情公之于众》一书的作者--以及ZKM显示这本书的作者--提出了这样一个问题：如果政治围绕着有争议的事情展开，会发生什么？他们不再只在专业政治的官方领域寻找民主，而是研究新的大气条件--允许事情公开的技术、界面、平台、网络和中介。他们向我们表明，旧的政治定义太狭隘了;在政治、科学和艺术中，有许多代表性的技巧，议会和国会只是其中的一部分。作者包括理查德·罗蒂、西蒙·谢弗、彼得·加利森、理查德·鲍尔斯、洛林·达斯顿、理查德·阿克塞尔和唐娜·哈拉维等著名思想家;他们的著作附有约翰·杜威、莎士比亚、斯威夫特、拉方丹和梅尔维尔的摘录。超过500张彩色图片记录了布鲁诺·拉图尔和彼得·韦伯所谓的“面向对象的民主”的新思想。"
Another monumental ZKM publication, redefining politics as a concern for things around which the fluid and expansive constituency of the public gathers; with contributions by more than 100 writers and artists. In this groundbreaking editorial and curatorial project, more than 100 writers, artists, and philosophers rethink what politics is about. In a time of political turmoil and anticlimax, this book redefines politics as operating in the realm of things. Politics is not just an arena, a profession, or a system, but a concern for things brought to the attention of the fluid and expansive constituency of the public. But how are things made public? What, we might ask, is a republic, a res publica, a public thing, if we do not know how to make things public? There are many other kinds of assemblies, which are not political in the usual sense, that gather a public around things - scientific laboratories, supermarkets, churches, and disputes involving natural resources like rivers, landscapes, and air. The authors of Making Things Public - and the ZKM show that the book accompanies - ask what would happen if politics revolved around disputed things. Instead of looking for democracy only in the official sphere of professional politics, they examine the new atmospheric conditions - technologies, interfaces, platforms, networks, and mediations that allow things to be made public. They show us that the old definition of politics is too narrow; there are many techniques of representation - in politics, science, and art - of which Parliaments and Congresses are only a part. The authors include such prominent thinkers as Richard Rorty, Simon Schaffer, Peter Galison, Richard Powers, Lorraine Daston, Richard Aczel, and Donna Haraway; their writings are accompanied by excerpts from John Dewey, Shakespeare, Swift, La Fontaine, and Melville. More than 500 color images document the new idea of what Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel call an "object-oriented democracy."
