Materials and Time – A project at the crossroad between natural sciences and humanities

materials.hypotheses.org · 57 words · saved by 1 readers

The purpose of this research blog is to engage humanities and social sciences scholars in a dialogue with material scientists in order to better characterize the hybrid life of materials as natural entities and social or economic agents. We aim to build a collaborative interdisciplinary research network focused on humans’ interactions and interdependencies with materials today and in the long-duration history. We seek to create an anthology that gathers the contributions of scholars from a wide spectrum of research fields who are exploring the temporalities of material, each from their own perpective. The project will explore topics such as : o lifetimes, lifecycles, use, trajectories, persistence, endurance, ageing o depletion, peaks, criticality, erosion, alteration, degradation, conservation o re-use, remaining, recycling, returns, inheritances, rivalries, substitutions o birthdays and anniversaries, death, decline, rebirth o genealogies, time travel o ephemerality, regimes of tempo
