Bücher von Helene Frichot

Dirty theory follows the dirt of material and conceptual relations from the midst of complex milieus. It messes with mixed disciplines, showing up in ethnography, in geography, in philosophy, and discovering a suitable habitat in architecture, design and the creative arts. Dirty theory disrupts a comfortable status quo, including our everyday modes of inhabitation and our habits of thinking. This small book argues that we must work with the dirt to develop an ethics of care and maintenance for our precarious environment-worlds.Hélène Frichot (PhD) is Professor of Architecture, KTH Stockholm, and in 2020 joins the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, University of Melbourne, Australia as Professor of Architecture and Philosophy. Her research traverses the dirty interdisciplinary domain between architecture and philosophy where she places an emphasis on feminist theories and practices and how to maintain a creative ecology of practices.
