Granular Configurations: Sand, Materiality, and Planetary Urbanization
Michaela Büsse, ed.
Granular Configurations: Sand, Materiality, and Planetary Urbanization explores the world’s most used—yet often overlooked—building material: sand. Bringing together voices from geography, geology, social sciences, art, and the humanities, the book traces how sand moves and transforms, resisting easy capture by political and ecological systems. From extractive practices and colonial legacies to fragile infrastructures and grassroots struggles, sand emerges here not just as a resource, but as an unstable force shaping the planetary urban condition.
