Whether given utility as building parts, fabrics, pharmaceuticals, or foodstuffs, whether seen by their proponents as human-made or "found in nature," materials result from the designation of some matter as both knowable and worth knowing about. In following these determinations we learn that the production of physical novelty under industrial, imperial and other cultural conditions has historically accomplished a huge range of social effects, from accruals of status and wealth to demarcations of bodies and geographies. Among other cases, New Materials traces the beneficent self-identity of Quaker asylum planners who devised soundless metal cell locks in the early 19th century, and the inculcation of national pride attending Taiwanese carbon-fiber bicycle parts in the 21st; the racialized labor organizations promoted by California orange breeders in the 1910s, and bureaucratized distributions of blame for deadly high-rise fires a century later. Across eras and global regions New Materials reflects circumstances not made clear when technological innovation is explained solely as a by-product of modernizing impulses or critiqued simply as a craving for profit. Whether establishing the efficacy of nano-scale pharmaceuticals or the tastiness of farmed catfish, proponents of new materials enact complex political ideologies. In highlighting their actors' conceptions of efficiency, certainty, safety, pleasure, pain, faith and identity, the authors reveal that to produce a "new material" is invariably to preserve other things, to sustain existing values and social structures"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMaterials$xHistory$xSocial aspects 606 $aManufacturing processes$xHistory$xSocial aspects 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aMaterials$xHistory$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aManufacturing processes$xHistory$xSocial aspects. 676 $a620.11 686 $aHIS000000$2bisacsh 700 $aHayton$b Darin$0855949 702 $aWasiak$b Patryk 702 $aTorero$b Jose L. 702 $aSenaga$b Karen 702 $aSaraiva$b Tiago 702 $aRuiz$b Rafico 702 $aMukharji$b Projit Bihari 702 $aKu$b Sharon Tsia-hsuan 702 $aKnowles$b Scott Gabriel 702 $aSlaton$b Amy E. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404133703321 996 $aNew Materials$91970201 997 $aUNINA
