SUMMARY:Talk | Containment and leakage: towards a general containerology

DESCRIPTION:\nIn this talk\, we explore containment as an ontological con
 dition. We begin by situating its presence\, spanning from the life-givi
 ng vessel of the womb to the numerous container technologies that render
  human and more-than-human worlds thinkable\, knowable and liveable. \n\
 nInspired by – but not limited to – our ongoing work on waste\, and draw
 ing from science and technology studies\, Sloterdijk’s spherology\, Simo
 ndon’s philosophy of individuation\, and Deleuzoguattarian geophilosophy
 \, we suggest that containers need to be examined not only as passive vo
 lumetric entities\, but also in terms of their capabilities. \n\nWe do s
 o in three successive analytical moves: first\, we examine containment a
 s a crucial spatial configuration of ordering\; containers hold together
  in place what would otherwise fluctuate in perpetuity. \n\nSecond\, and
  since the occasion of leakage disrupts – with the potential to upend – 
 any established order\, we argue that containment and leakage\, closely 
 linked to the ideas of interiority and exteriority\, need to be understo
 od as mutually presupposing each other. \n\nFinally\, and moving beyond 
 prevailing negative conceptualisations and practices that render it syno
 nymous with management and control\, we outline an affirmative take that
  equally considers containment as an affective\, expressive\, and intima
 te process of sympoiesis whereby interiorities and exteriorities have a 
 provisional character instead of a permanent\, fixed\, and oppositional 
 one. \n\n\nBook here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/containment-and-lea
