Nordic Science and Technology Studies Conference, 2021. The Futures as a Matter of Collective concern, 2021

Beskrivelse

EMBODIED PARTNERSHIPS
by Ph.D-student Louise Permiin.

I apply for participating in the conference STS and the Futures as a Matter of Collective concern 2021  with a Ph.D.-project that questions the relation between danish textile-dyeing industries and their locations ecology to unfold a concern for their collective future. The project is called Embodied Partnerships and leans on Research Professor of sustainability, design, and fashion Kate Fletcher's argument that the growth of the industry, economies, and production has worsened the pollution of rivers, air, and global temperatures: creating an ecological urgency. An urgency I aim to explore through a cross-disciplinary practice merging quantitative environmental data studies from chosen textile-dying locations with embodied interactions.  

The project build upon Geographer Doreen Massey's theory on the inseparable historical connection space consists of. An inseparable connection with time which I aim to explore through embodied interactions on the locations past, present, and future. The project seeks to unfold if the textile-dying industries have constructed entangled relations to its surroundings over time and, if so, how its connected time can be experienced and lived out through an embodied investigation of today, creating a collective matter of concern on how to design with the future.
