Breaking and Making Models

<p>Practically anything can be a model of or for something else. What characterizes models is rather their specific reductive relationality which often promotes understanding but is always generative rather than merely representational. The essays in <em>Breaking and Making Models</em> engage with the normative and performative qualities of models their aesthetic and political dimensions and their world-making potentials. Bringing such perspectives into a broad interdisciplinary dialogue this book explores ways to work creatively with models.</p>
