Some Things are not held together by Glue: Chunambo and other ‘Sticky Matter’ in Subtropical Macao, China
Saturday, 8 October 2022I have a new article "Some Things are not held together by Glue: Chunambo and other ‘Sticky Matter’ in Subtropical Macao, China" which is part of a special issue of the eTropic journal on "Tropical Materialisms: poetics, practices, possibilities."
In the article I use the traditional rammed earth material known as chunambo to consider questions of material permanence in the context of Macao's urban development, climate change and land reclamation projects.
Special thanks to co-editors Anita Lundberg and Christian Benitez for putting together such an interesting theme and collection of work that considers new materialism, posthumanism, and material poetics in the tropics.
