Enframing (Gestell)

"Enframing (Gestell)" as a book category would gather works that explore how modern technology and instrumental thinking shape the way the world is revealed to us—reducing beings to resources or "standing-reserve" and conditioning human perception, values and action. It would include philosophical expositions of Martin Heidegger's Gestell and its ontological implications, critical theory and media-studies analyses of calculative, managerial and data-driven modes of thinking, historical and sociological accounts of technological rationality, and ethical or political critiques of how systems of efficiency and control reframe human and nonhuman life. The category would also embrace interdisciplinary treatments (environmental philosophy, architecture, design, AI ethics) and imaginative literature that dramatizes or resists enframing, all with a shared focus on revealing vs. concealing, alternatives to instrumental reason (art, poiesis, contemplative practices), and the consequences of living under a pervasive technological enframing.
