SUMMARY:Concrete
DESCRIPTION:Professor Anna Tsing launches the Wolf Humanities Center’s 2024-2025 Forum on Keywords with a talk exploring the “concreteness of concrete.”\n\n\nWolf Humanities Center • University of Pennsylvania \n2024–2025 FORUM ON KEYWORDS \nDR. S.T. LEE DISTINGUISHED LECTURE IN THE HUMANITIES \nConcrete\nConcrete is a material—and an adjective pointing to the physical existence of things. To be concrete is to have form in the material world. In this talk\, renowned anthropologist Anna Tsing considers the material form of concrete as a building material\, that is\, the concreteness of concrete. Concrete repels water\, and in the city of Sorong\, Indonesia\, where her current research has taken her\, it calls forth floods\, distributing mud. The concreteness of concrete is foundational to our current condition\, stuck in the infrastructural lock-in of this dangerous time\, the Anthropocene. \nCosponsored by Penn’s Department of Anthropology and EnviroLab. \nAnna Tsing teaches anthropology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, and at Aarhus University\, Denmark. Her most recent book (with Jennifer Deger\, Alder Keleman Saxena\, and Feifei Zhou) is Field Guide to the Patchy Anthropocene: The New Nature (Stanford University Press\, 2024). This same team curated the mammoth digital project Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene (www.feralatlas.org). Tsing is co-director of the Center for Southeast Asian Coastal Interactions (SEACoast) at UC Santa Cruz; she leads the center project\, “Fragmented Porosity\,” which considers changing histories\, livelihoods\, and ecologies of the land-water interface. \nMore information: https://wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/events/tsing \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nThis event is free and open to the public.
