From oil to atmospheric toxins, human existence rests on the fate of minerals and chemicals whose epistemic status is all but stable. Some of them are visible and valued, while others are despised and obscured. Some of them can be transformed into ‘enumerated entities’, while others manifest in bodies and affections. What is undeniable is their ubiquitous presence and, as global warming remain us, their recalcitrance: the withdrawn and “inhuman” nature of the inorganic, its inherent capacity – executed daily in all aspects of collective life – of not behaving in the expected ways. Insofar chemicals and minerals are bound to the minimal conditions of the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">bios</i>, their untamed behavior also points at the finitude of (human) life, its continuous demand for care, and the limits of the rhetoric, usually mobilized in science and technology studies (STS), of self-generating and always-expanding networks.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Environmental conflicts, the management of large technical systems and the affordances of non-human entities have been a matter of concern and research for STS scholars for a long time. However, the inorganic as a particular material poses new challenges around what we call ‘the government of the inorganic’: the ways the inorganic is made manifest, sensed upon, tinkered with, valued, managed and politicized. Such government raises, first, the question about the ontological condition of the inorganic and its modes of co-habitation with the social. Second, it poses the question about the type of governing practices put forward to manage the agency of the inorganic in certain specific ways and with varying degrees of success.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Following these cues, the aim of our workshop is to collectively explore, both empirically and theoretically, the distinctive specificities of governing of the inorganic.
