Materiality and Agency: New Paradigms in the Study of Human Development, Culture, and Cognition (E09*)

E9项目旨在为CRC研究的关键概念开发一个理论和方法框架，以阐明物质-媒介-环境（社会和物理）相互作用。来自民族志和社会科学的理论和概念与考古记录相结合，以解释形成“考古工业”，“生产性经济”，“流动模式”和“人类迁移”的物质性和机构。因此，E9项目实施了一个认识论平台，以批判性地评估和评价相关学术领域经常使用但很少反映的关键术语和概念。

The E9 project aims at developing a theoretical and methodological framework for key concepts of the CRC research that will elucidate materiality-agent-environment (social and physical) interactions. Theories and concepts derived from ethnography and the social sciences are integrated with the archaeological record to intertwine materiality and agency that shaped ‘archaeological industries’, ‘productive economies’, ‘mobility patterns’ and ‘human migrations’. The E9 project thus implements an epistemological platform for critically assessing and evaluating pivotal terminologies and concepts often used but seldom reflected on in relevant academic fields.
