Summary:

Fluidität befasst sich mit Materialien in Bewegung - aktiven und aktivierten, mobilen und mobilisierten. Im Fokus stehen kein allgemeiner Fluss von Materie, sondern vielfältige Verflechtungen und Mischungen realer Materialien sowie damit einhergehende Metaphoriken, Imaginationen und theoretische Herausforderungen. Fluidität ist ein vielschichtiges Phänomen: oft unübersichtlich, viskos, turbulent, manchmal katastrophal. Der Band ist ein Beitrag zu einer kritischen kulturellen Rheologie und untersucht die materielle Komplexität, die epistemischen Funktionen, die politischen und ökologischen Dimensionen von Fluidität.
