DESCRIPTION:What if communication were not just something humans do\, but 
 a process through which all kinds of beings—molecules\, machines\, instit
 utions\, emotions\, organisms\, laws\, and people—come to express themsel
 ves and make a difference? Drawing on my forthcoming book\, “Thinking the
  World Communicatively: An Exploration of the More or Less\,” this talk i
 ntroduces a way of approaching reality that transcends the traditional bo
 undaries between the natural sciences\, the social sciences\, and the hum
 anities. I propose that to think communicatively is to examine how relati
 ons allow phenomena to manifest themselves [i]more or less[/i] in the wor
 ld. Communication\, in this broad sense\, encompasses electromagnetic rad
 iation warming our skin\, neurons firing\, procedures shaping institution
 al conduct\, technologies guiding attention\, and people coordinating wit
 h one another. Instead of reducing the world to discourse or matter\, thi
 s communicative ontology highlights how beings both act and “pass through
 ” others. It offers scientists\, scholars\, and students an anti-reductio
 nist framework for understanding truth\, objectivity\, materiality\, agen
 cy\, and power across domains\, from social interaction to quantum mechan
 ics.\n\n[u]Biography[/u]\nFrançois Cooren (PhD\, Université de Montréal\
