~ENG~Christoph Hoffmann shows that in research, writing takes on the character of a procedure that yields epistemic effects. Whoever writes not only processes things, but in so doing shapes them and makes them available.
“I write in order to see, to do, to specify, to prolong – not to duplicate what has existed.” (Paul Valery) Wherever one looks in the sciences, writing is taking place: in the laboratory, in the field, in the archive, in the office. Seldom does this activity attract attention; it is simply too self-evident, too trivial. Closer inspection reveals that writing does not merely serve to aid memory or convey insights. Christoph Hoffmann shows that in research, writing takes on the character of a procedure that yields epistemic effects. Whoever writes not only processes things, but in so doing shapes them and makes them available. As Paul Valery suggests: the act of writing itself becomes an instrument of exploration.
