Through a series of case studies focused on cybernetics, systems research, and some of their more contemporary inheritors, this book argues that such a middle space, the topology of frictions, offers significant insights to assess the historical and epistemological relevance of these interconnected fields. Characterized here as cybernetic thinking, this broad area of theoretical and applied projects would conceal, precisely within its frictions, the operational principles of our present.</p> 20 00 Open Access meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 01 20230929 13 15 9783957962164 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/978-3-95796-217-1-_Frictions.pdf 99 01 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/frictions/ 99 01
