LIFE: A Transdisciplinary Inquiry examines nature,
cognition and society as an interwoven tapestry across
disciplinary boundaries. This volume explores how information and
communication are instrumental in and for living systems,
acknowledging an integrative account of media as environments and
technologies. The aim of the collection is a fuller and richer
account of everyday life through a spectrum of insights from
internationally known scholars of the natural sciences
(physical and life sciences), social sciences and the arts. How or
should life be defined? If life is a medium, how is it
mediated? Viewed as interactions, transactions and contexts
of ecosystems, life can be recognized through patterns across the
sciences, including metabolisms, habitats and lifeworlds. The book
also integrates discussions of embodiment, ecological values,
literacies and critiques, with bioinspired, synthetic and
historical design approaches to envision what could constitute
artful living in an ever-evolving, interdependent world. The volume
foregrounds systemic approaches to life, drawing on a wide range of
disciplines and fields, including architecture, art, biology,
bioengineering, chemistry, cinema studies, communication, computer
science, conservation, cultural studies, design, ecology,
environmental studies, information science, landscape
architecture, geography, journalism, materials science, media
archaeology, media studies, philosophy, physics, plant signalling
and development, political economy, sociology and system dynamics.
This is the second volume in the Media-Life-Universe trilogy. It
follows and builds upon the 2021 collection MEDIA:Â A
Transdisciplinary Inquiry. Â
