Slow Philosophy/Discursive Attachments : Gathering Inquiry/Materials/Objects/Things

Slow Philosophy/Discursive Attachments : Gathering Materials/Objects/Things

Research as a discursive activity gathering new forms of expression.

Duration, Steven Holl

Time is only understood in relation to a process or a phenomenon.


The duration of human beings alive in one time and place is a relational notion.

The time of one's being is provisional; it is a circumstance with an adopted aim for the time being.


SPACE-and ARCHITECTURE-exceeds the provisional

The Enchantment of Modern Life.

Attachments, Crossing and Ethics

The performativity of social representations

When I gather together the animals, arguments, molecules, suggestions, forces, interpretations, sounds, people, and images of this study, one theme emerges. The modern story of disenchantment leaves out important things, and it neglects crucial sources of ethical generosity in doing so. Without modes of enchantment, we might not have the energy and inspiration to enact ecological projects, or to contest ugly and unjust modes of commercialization, or to respond generously to humans and nonhumans that challenge our settled identities. These enchantments are already in and around us.

lest they be angels in disguise

Slow Philosophy : Materials/Objects/Things

Few boundaries are impenetrable

They are rather, semi-permeable membranes providing housing while allowing selective commerce


In a world of materials, nothing is ever finished : 'everything may be something, but being something is always on the way to becoming something else'
