CeMoRe Seminar with Ole B Jensen on Material Mobilities and Design
Date: 10 November 2016 Time: 4.15 to 6.00pm
Venue: Man School A217
Material Mobilities and the Turn to Design in Mobilities Research
This talk will take point of departure in the latest material shift of attention within the ‘new mobilities turn’. Notions of non-human agencies, actor-network-theories, assemblages, and post-human perspectives have drawn new and interesting boundaries up in many different research areas. At the same time there has been a turn towards design and architecture within the ‘new mobilities turn’. The talk presents the contours of this new map emerging between the existing mobilities research over the new material turns toward the interest in design. In the talk the positioning of ‘material pragmatism’ will be explored as a viable platform for integrating these perspectives. In particular, the talk will address the ‘situational’ perspective of everyday life mobilities, and connect these to the micro details of material designs (curbs, asphalt, transit spaces etc.) as well to larger scales of ‘systemness’ (socio-technical networks, infrastructures, design protocols etc.).
