“…A contrasting case is the traditional production of lime mortar for use in conservation of historical buildings (e.g., Balksten, 2007). Material processes in this case are also very active and constrain human action, but they are not agents themselves.…”

Toward an Enactive Conception of Productive Practices: Beyond Material Agency

We examine the question of material agency as raised in material engagement theory (MET). Insofar as MET tends to highlight the causal roles played by extra-bodily material flows in human practices, the term “material agency” does not sufficiently distinguish cases in which these flows are part of an agentive engagement from cases in which they are not. We propose an operational criterion to effect such a distinction. We claim this criterion is organizational, i.e., systemic, and not causal. In the enactive account, agency requires three organizational conditions: self-individuation, interactional asymmetry, and normativity. These conditions can have organic, sensorimotor, and sociomaterial realizations. The dance of human productive practices is indeed spread between brains, bodies, and the world, as MET claims, but it is distributed in an organized manner that involves constraints and norms at various scales. We put forward a relational and non-anthropocentric perspective toward an enactive approach to productive practices. We discuss some aspects of agentive ensembles rendered more intelligible by our proposal, including incorporation, soft assembly and non-decomposability, and the grounding of teleology normative processes at multiple scales. In this manner, we seek to continue the dialog between MET and enactive theory, beginning with the view that a situated system must realize certain minimal organizational conditions to be called an agent.

“…Water is added to CaO to produce calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, or slaked lime. Depending on the purpose of the lime, it can be prepared in either dry slaking or wet slaking techniques, where the former uses just enough water to slake it, while the latter uses more water for slaking (Balksten 2007). The mixtures produced are continuously soaked in water for at least three months.…”

“…Hence, hydraulic lime is preferred for constantly exposed structures underwater or thick walls such as fortifications. The key to influencing the hydraulic properties in binders are minerals from burned clay or volcanic materials present naturally in the raw material or added intentionally during the manufacturing process (Moropoulou, et al 1995b;Balksten 2007).…”

This study has provided an analytical chemistry method to reveal the production technologies employed in lime mortar making from a Spanish Colonial Period fortification in Bacolod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. Analytical techniques such as Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) effectively provided general information on the chemical composition of the lime mortars and the hydraulic nature of the binder used. Mortar samples from different areas in the fort, were found to be made from a calcitic lime source possibly of marine shell origin. The hydraulic characteristic of both mortars is due to clay additives suggesting that local knowledge of this process is known during that period. The EDXRF and TGA techniques applied to the samples in this study will address the lack of systematic and detailed baseline chemical data on historical lime mortars in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries, which is vital for future conservation work in the ASEAN region. Ang pag-aaral na ito ay nagbigay ng isang maupanuring-kimika na pamamaraan upang maipakita ang mga teknolohiya ng paggawa sa argamasa na apog mula sa isang kuta na itinayo noong panahon ng mga Kastila sa Bacolod, Lanao del Norte, Pilipinas. Ang mga ginamit na instrument sa pananaliksik tulad ng Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) at Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) ay mabisang nagbigay ng pangkalahatang impormasyon tungkol sa kemikal na komposisyon ng mga apog na argamasa at haydrolikong likas na ginamit. Ang mga argamasa na ginamit sa pagaaral na ito, na nagmula sa iba`t ibang mga parte ng kuta, ay natagpuan na ginawa mula sa isang calcitic na pinagmulan na maaring galing sa mga kabibe sa dagat. Ang haydrolikong katangian ng parehong argamasa ay dahil sa mga ihinalong luad na nagmumungkahi na ang lokal na kaalaman sa prosesong ito ay alam na ng mga gumawa nuong panahong iyon. Ang EDXRF at TGA na ginamit sa pagaaral na ito ay tutugon sa kakulangan ng sistematiko at detalyadong kemikal na datos sa mga makasaysayang apog na argamasa sa Pilipinas at iba pang mga bansa sa Timog-Silangang Asya, na mahalaga para sa gawaing kinabukasan ng konserbasyon sa rehiyon ng ASEAN.
