Recent traditions such as posthumanism and new materialism propose that non-humans and matter are active participants in processes of signification, so that humans do not give meaning to matter, but matter and meaning co-constitute each other. Bruno Latour
and others propose to conceive of these processes in terms of a network of interactions between human and non-human actors. Not only scientists perform, so do their instruments and the objects under investigation. Karen Barad, speaking about quantum physics,
goes as far as to state that matter is as active as our interpretative frameworks, so that we do not give meaning to matter, but matter and meaning co-constitute each other.<br>
<br>
Science and performance studies represent different ways of approaching this intertwining. My presentation explores the possibilities for, and potential of, a joint perspective.<br>
