Assembling Untimeliness

Paul Rabinow is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California (Berkeley), Director of the Anthropology of the Contemporary Research Collaboratory (ARC), and Director of Human Practices for the Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC). After delivering a Mosse Lecture on 18 November at the Humboldt University, Paul Rabinow came to the ICI Berlin for an internal colloquium. Starting point for the dicussion was the Mosse Lecture as well as the paper “Assembling Untimeliness: Permanently & Restively”, which is a work-in-progress that Rabinow made available before the colloquium.
