What might it mean to “work” the concept of the contemporary, under current conditions, in the sense of Georges Canguilhem’s famous account of “working a concept”? The contemporary, it is argued, has been “worked” by history itself into a global form. Two aspects in particular will be stressed: its immanent relationship to the temporality of crisis, and a renewed sense of history itself as a “project of crisis” (Tafuri), a putting into crisis, or a production of the present as crisis. History as project, it is suggested, is the negativity of the unity of global crisis. How might this sound?

There comes a time to move beyond asking the broad question “What is contemporaneity?” to consider more acute ways in which this question can be traced and signalled. We consider the notion of signal to be particularly appropriate in the consideration of contemporaneity, since signals are a constitutive element of contemporary infrastructures and our experience of time even if they are relatively undetectable. They operate underneath human perceptual thresholds as carriers, controllers, and codes, while also surfacing into perceptual and semiotic registers, as signs across various media—textual, visual, and, of course, sonic—all the while accessible as traces. Perhaps in this way it is possible to experience contemporaneity at a range of different scales— from the microtemporal to the planetary—to register both our closeness and distance from it (Agamben 2009), and to exemplify how times come together disjunctively in the present.

Entry Encyclopedia for the History of the Life Sciences In the autobiographical report on his laboratory work at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, the French molecular biologist François Jacob remarked a decade and a half ago: " In biology, any study … begins with the choice of a 'system.' Everything depends on this choice: the range within which the experimenter can move, the character of the questions he is able to ask, and often also the answers he can give " (Jacob 1987, p. 261). In the biological research literature, the notion of " experimental system " for the characterization of experimental arrangements has been in regular use since the first decades of the twentieth century, in particular in connection with the establishment of a vigorous in vitro biology (see, e.g., Gale and Folkes 1954, p. 1224) and with the coming into use of a variety of model organisms, especially bacteria and viruses, two features of experimental systems to which I will come back later. When Jacob speaks about " system, " the term is used in exactly this sense. A comparison may help set the stage. Two centuries ago, toward the end of the eighteenth century, when natural historians and biologists talked about " systems, " they meant systems of thought such as the " system of the eggs " or the " system of the sperms " with respect to the then concurring theories of generation, into which, sporadically, experimental arguments were inserted. Two hundred years later, it is experimental systems that determine the research context into which theorems can eventually become inserted.
15年前，法国分子生物学家弗朗索瓦·雅各布在他在巴黎巴斯德研究所的实验室工作的自传报告中说:“在生物学中，任何研究……都是从选择一个‘系统’开始的。”一切都取决于这种选择:实验者可以移动的范围，他能够提出的问题的性质，以及他通常可以给出的答案”(Jacob 1987, p. 261)。在生物研究文献,“实验系统”的概念表征的实验安排在常规使用自20世纪的头几十年,特别是在与建立一个有力的体外生物学(见,例如,盖尔和民间1954,p . 1224)和进入各种生物模型的使用,尤其是细菌和病毒,两种特性的实验系统,我以后会回来。当Jacob谈到“系统”时，这个术语就是在这个意义上使用的。一个比较可能有助于奠定基础。两个世纪以前，也就是接近十八世纪末的时候，当自然历史学家和生物学家谈论“系统”时，他们指的是思想系统，比如“卵子系统”或“精子系统”，这些思想系统与当时流行的生殖理论有关，偶尔会插入实验论点。两百年后的今天，正是实验系统决定了理论最终可以被引入的研究背景。
