这篇文章探讨了城市物质性的流动性和稳定性，通过观察曼彻斯特市中心一座有300年历史的教堂的不断出现。集合体的概念被用来调查地方，如这里的建筑，是如何同时被许多机构破坏和改变的，并通过维修和更换建筑材料来稳定。通过研究石头的重要特性以及作用于建筑物石质结构的特定非人类代理，我探索了一些使物质不断涌现的过程。随后，我考虑这些材料的变化的后果，看看他们如何促进招生的两个人类过程的空间（重新）排序，锻造之间的联系城市和石材供应的网站，以及不断变化的和有争议的过程中的维修和保养。我认为，通过承认复杂性，历史深度和地理范围，非人类和人类的纠缠，以及模糊性，我们可能会写的帐户，公正的出现，偶然性和不可预测性在世界上的无数机构。
This article explores the fluidities and stabilities of urban materiality by looking at the ongoing emergence of a 300-year-old church in central Manchester. The notion of assemblages is utilised to investigate how places, such as the building featured here, are simultaneously destroyed and altered by numerous agencies, and stabilised by repair and replacement building material. By examining the vital properties of stone and the particular non-human agents that act upon the stony fabric of the building, I explore some of the processes that render matter continuously emergent. I subsequently consider the consequences of these material transformations by looking at how they promote the enrolment of two human processes of spatial (re)ordering, the forging of connections between the city and sites of stone supply, and the changing and contested process of repair and maintenance. I argue that by acknowledging complexity, historical depth and geographical scale, non-human and human entanglements, and ambiguity, we might write accounts that do justice to the emergence, contingency and unpredictability in a world of innumerable agencies.
