Studies in Material Thinking (SMT)
Special Volume — Volume 17
How Matter Comes to Matter through
Transversal Practice: Matter,
Ecology and Relationality
Studies in Material Thinking (SMT) Auckland University of Technology is calling for
submissions to a special volume of research articles to be published late 2016, in
collaboration with the organisers of Transversal Practices: Matter, Ecology and
Relationality, the sixth Conference on New Materialisms and the ISCH COST Action
New Materialism: Networking Scholarship on ‘How Matter Comes to Matter.’
Researchers in all fields are increasingly seeking engagements across disciplines
using multiple conceptual and methodological frameworks. This transversal activity
affects the way in which creative research practices evolve. We are increasingly
networked with other practices, exposed to broader realms of knowledge and
faced with expectations arising from pervasive ecological concerns and
technological complexity.
This post-conference volume is aligned with the original conference stimulus.
We are interested in research and research practice that addresses
the two conference questions:
How do transversal practices
work and how can we account
for or conceptualise them?
What kinds of methodologies
do they necessitate,
or call for?
We encourage critical approaches that transversally cross the following: collectivity,
corporeality/incorporeality, materiality/immateriality, Indigeneity, individual/group
subjectivity, knowledge-production/onto-epistemologies, language, temporality,
transdisciplinarity, processes of making art/philosophy/activism, and the three
Ss—spatiality, sociality and the sensorium.
SMT 17 is open to innovative format options. We would like to encourage contributions
that explore experimental, innovative ways of communicating the value and significance
of speculative, pedagogical or applied design thinking. In particular we welcome
film/video documentation of processes and image cycles used in a positive, active,
discursive manner. We would like to produce a post-conference on-line volume that
values and supports researchers, artists, designers and design educators to explore
a strongly visual form of argumentation.
