Materials and Time: An Anthology

 Call for papers

Scholars from a wide spectrum of research fields are exploring the temporalities of materials, each from their own disciplinary perspective.

We invite texts of no more than 1000 words discussing the topic of ‘Materials and Time’ for a forthcoming transdisciplinary publication and workshop. How authors wish to interpret this topic is left open, but they should focus on a single material, however construed. We welcome contributions from any discipline. Aspects of time to consider might include:

o   lifetimes, lifecycles, use, trajectories, persistence, endurance, ageing o   depletion, peak, criticality, erosion, alteration, degradation, conservation o   re-use, remaining, recycling, returns, inheritances o   birthdays and anniversaries, death, decline, rebirtho   genealogies, time travelo   ephemerality, regimes of temporality, mimetism o   ages, epochso   chronomarkers, signatures, records and measurements

Selected texts will be included in an anthology publication on this broad topic and their authors may be invited to a one-day workshop to be held in 2021. The workshop will contribute to the development of an interdisciplinary network on materials.

The deadline for submitting texts is April 30, 2020. Texts should be submitted at the following web address:
