Os contornos do argumento para uma defesa da individuação como intrinsecamente situada

Abstract

This article aims to briefly present the conceptual framework used to defend the thesis of individuation as intrinsically situated. The proposal is thought of as a response to the antagonism between grains and non-grains, based on the contrast between the Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) - the grain - elaborated by Graham Harman, and Gilbert Simondon's proposal of individuation as a process - the non-grain. The intuition is that there are tacit points of proximity, but that they are clearly shown when we turn to the sphere of technology, in the OOO-based approach elaborated by Tessa Leach and in Simondon's analysis of the mode of existence of technical objects. From a stereoscopic analysis inspired by Tristán Garcia, plus the adoption of Whitehedian Importance as an ontological criterion, it can be seen that the question about individuation concerns a reflection on the referential of measurement. In this sense, we will come to the conclusion that the point of contact between the various possible conceptions of individuation, above all grain and non-grain, will be given through an appeal to the situation, to experience as a localized event, given, according to Whitehead, from "here" and a "now", as locus standi.
