Abstract (may include machine translation)

It is 8:55 on a Tuesday. Lectures and seminars are about to start. ‘Business hours’ begin in offices, meeting rooms, cafés. Some of us ‘only’ need to make it to the classroom in the next ten minutes and find somewhere to sit, though what follows is never only easy especially for those who have to pry open crevices in a world that does not seem to see them. Others will have to set up the lecture slides first, focus and breathe, and make sure that this time technology of the self or electronics doesn’t break down. Others still have started even earlier (at 7am? 6am?), cleaning the floors, taking the rubbish out. The staff of catering facilities must have been busy preparing for the day for at least an hour already. Embedded in a milieu of simultaneously shared and unshared life-worlds, a caption on a construction site of a university reads: ‘What if our search for knowledge changed the world around us?
