Timeline

1921

He argued that, currently, the dominant knowledge production practices, institutions, and venues for understanding human things in the 21st century are inadequate institutionally and epistemologically.

In response, he designed modes of experimentation and collaboration consisting of focused concept work and the explorations of new forms of case-based inquiry.

Rabinow also devoted a great deal of energy to the invention of new venues adjacent to the existing university structures, diagnosing the university’s disciplinary organization and career patterns as among the major impediments to 21st century thought.

In view of the fact that the organization and practices of the social sciences and humanities in the U.S. university system have changed little in recent decades, they are unlikely to facilitate the composition of contemporary equipment.

Rabinow called for the creation of venues that are adjacent to, but more flexible than, the university and the existing disciplinary structure.

He played leading roles in the design of two such organizations, the Anthropology of the Contemporary Research Collaboratory (ARC) and the Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC).

The Anthropology of the Contemporary Research Collaboratory was founded by Paul Rabinow, Stephen Collier, and Andrew Lakoff as part of an effort to create new forms of inquiry in the human sciences.

Its aspiration is to create models for new infrastructures, tools of collaboration, and practices of inquiry.

The core of the ARC collaboratory is ongoing reflection and communication in a now broadening network of scholars about concept formation and collaboratory work in the human sciences.

ARC is a collaboratory for inquiry into contemporary forms of life, labor, and language.

ARC engages in empirical study and conceptual work with global reach and long-term perspective.

ARC creates contemporary equipment for collaborative work adequate to emergent challenges in the 21st century.

ARC’s current concerns focus on interconnections among security, ethics, and the sciences.

The relation of concepts and cases in Rabinow’s work distinguishes itself from the more common mode of social science work predicated on using examples to test general theories or philosophical practice that seeks analytic clarity about universals or general (often highly abstract) cases.

In contrast, Rabinow argues that work on concepts opens up and orients inquiry into the concrete features of distinctive cases, whereas the use of ostensibly timeless theory or universal concepts is unlikely to be very helpful in drawing attention to particularities and singularities.

Rabinow died on April 6, 2021.

Rabinow is known for his development of an "anthropology of reason".

If anthropology is understood as being composed of anthropos + logos, then anthropology can be taken up as a practice of studying how the mutually productive relations of knowledge, thought, and care are given form within shifting relations of power.

More recently, Rabinow developed a distinctive approach to what he called an "anthropology of the contemporary" that moves methodologically beyond modernity as an object of study or as a metric to order all inquiries.

Rabinow is well known for conceptual work drawing on French, German, and American traditions.

He was a close interlocutor of Michel Foucault and edited and interpreted Foucault’s work as well as ramifying it in new directions.

Rabinow’s work consistently confronted the challenge of inventing and practicing new forms of inquiry, writing, and ethics for the human sciences.
