4th Meeting “Fluidity. Materials in Motion”

Online-Meeting
September 10–11, 2020

In this meeting, we are focussing on the preparation of our project publication “Fluidity. Materials in Motion”. The members of the research network present and discuss the subject matter they intend to elaborate on in their respective contributions to the book. The publication will be divided into three sections: 1) Thinking Fluid: Epistemology and Metaphorology, 2) Flows, Change & Agency: Materials in Action, 3) A Leaking World: Ecology of Fluid Materials. Due to Covid-19 regulations, the meeting will be held online.
