    Dinge anders machen. Ein Gespräch über feministische Anthropozän-Kritik, Dekolonisierung der Geologie und «sensing» in Medien-Umwelten
    Löffler, Petra; Perraudin, Léa; Schneider, Birgit; Yusoff, Kathryn; Gabrys, Jennifer (2020) , S. 138-152
    Drawing from the observation of a general saturation in the discourses centered around the Anthropocene, Jennifer Gabrys and Kathryn Yusoff argue for radical and ongoing critique of hegemonic practices of knowledge. The conversation address questions of materiality in media studies and geology, alternative methodologies, and modes of participation, sensation, and representation, while sketching ways for feminist-decolonial worldbuilding in, after, and against the Anthropocene.

    Die «Mobilmachung der Materie». Stoffströme und Stoffkreisläufe aus Sicht der stoffgeschichtlichen Forschung
    Soentgen, Jens (2020) , S. 32-40
    It is misleading to speak of material flows or the cycling of substances or of humans as emitting carbon dioxide, since this naturalizes a process that in reality has actors and contexts. Transdisciplinary research on substance histories focusses on contexts of action. It analyses those actions and networks of actors that mobilize and immobilize certain substances, and it presents its results as an integrated narrative. This type of research is based on a phenomenological notion of substance that stresses the activity of substances and presents, on this basis, a new picture of the interactions between actors and materials that contributes to research on the Anthropocene.
