Hallo Yasminers,
I am really unsure about the tenability of the distinction between
science and art
The fact is that at their best both are creative producers of knowledge
We could call it the scientific arts or the art of science
but i suppose the language itself is flawed and misleading
Of course in "the one self-evident world" what we call science has a
strong grasp on another tentative and precarious term "the real",
however, in the multiplicitous world of difference, that which makes
life interesting - to quote a lecture from 1922 by Tristan Tzara - the
distinctively named Art seems to hold more sway -
The question however is more precarious and relevant when one becomes
more concentrated on the role of industry and finance -
Here in Germany on the weekend, on the cover of Die Zeit, or The Times,
There was an image of two rabbits - One mounting the other -
The one doing the mounting was labelled Industrie and the other,
taking it - as it were - was labelled Wissenschaft - loosely
translated Science, but more like knowledge production. ( All Fields
are so precise and concise here that they are labelled, for example
Theatre Wissenschaft, etc in the Universities)
So the better question might be about how hegemonic and conservative
industry and finance hold back the creative in both the sciences and
the arts, to the point of planned obsolescence, or outright stagnation
- though that is not formed into a question - i hope it makes some
sense to some of us.
Thanks for your time.
