How to Understand These Dimensions:
- Complex phenomenon necessitate complex theories
- Articulation: “draws attention to the contingent relations among practices,
representations, and experiences that make up the world”
- Assemblage: “draws attention to the structured expressive and effective (joining) nature
and work of these articulations”
Page 128:
- “We propose that you think about technologies in terms of articulations among the
physical arrangements of matter, typically labeled technologies and a range of contingently
related practices, representations, experiences and affects.”
- Articulation is part of what makes up assemblages
- Ways to enrol new allies and bring them into the form of the assemblage so the
assemblage endures, its associated milieu
Articulating “Protection” to Tires:
- Video: Michelin Tires
- Protecting your offspring by giving them these tires
- It is associated and articulated this idea of protection and parenting to their tires
- Good parents choose these tires, its been very successful at joining parenting to tire
selection
- So that tire selection becomes correlated with good parenting
Articulating Parenting to Car:
- Video: Volkswagen Car
- Part of parenting now is the automobile, all join together to emphasize good parenting
- Vehicle is the extension of the family
- Vehicle is becoming a space in which the technologies are more about parenting rather
than getting from point A to point B
Assemblage:
- Articulation foregrounds the contingency of relations between practices, representations
and experiences
- So articulation emphasizes the elements that constitute a technology
- Assemblage foregrounds the structured and affective qualities of articulation
- So assemblage in turn emphasizes the ways in which articulations of elements come to
take particular forms
Assemblages are also Contingent:
- Territorialization: process by which assemblage takes form as some articulations are
connected and others remain unconnected (ie: camera in the mini van)
