Instead of approaching shipwrecks as either artefacts or \u201cecofacts,\u201d this book presents a third frame for understanding, one inspired by the material dynamism of sea-floor stuff. As they become encrusted by oceanic matter-some of it living, some inanimate-anthropic fragments participate in a distinctively submarine form of material relation. That relation comprises a wide, and sometimes incalculable, array of things, lives, times, and stories. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Killian Quigley, Research Fellow at Australian Catholic University\u2019s Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences, discussed his book Reading Underwater Wreckage: An Encrusting Ocean (Bloomsbury, 2023) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-booktalk"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Quigley_cover.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2010"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2010\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2069,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2010\/revisions\/2069"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
