Wolf Feuerhahn’s (2020) historicization of the categories of the scholarly world can be extended beyond discursivity alone. Reflection on meta-concepts—the organizing concepts of scientific practice—allows us to question the evolution of epistemic configurations over time. Reason and objectivity are two examples of these points of support that are rarely explicitly required in the scientific process; however, the genealogies of their formation provide information on the progressively constructed gaps in meaning. Similarly, somatic materiality informs history of the distances taken between categories of analysis absent from a particular era (e.g., male domination) and its manifestations that are nonetheless evident (i.e., the invisibilization of women through the valorization of the heroic body). The reconstruction of experiences shows the transformations in the nineteenth century from the gesture of craftsmanship to industrial standardization. This article argues for a pragmatism of discrepancies, an incessant back-and-forth between the present and the past, which gives historicity the full measure of its analytical potential.
