Abstract

In this collection, the authors address the organization of interaction in which ‘things’ play specifi c roles. Although the contexts and types of things the authors discuss are diverse, there are some common features. First, they are things locatable in a particular space; they are ‘spatial things’. Secondly, they are real, not imaginary; they are ‘sensory things’. That is, they are visible, tangible, audible, scentable, and the like. Thirdly, they are artifacts, material things invented for a purpose. They have structures that are suitable for a certain distinctive activity, although these structures can serve purposes beyond their original design. In this postscript, I attempt to outline what this volume contributes to the development of the study of how things with the above-mentioned features are perceived in interaction. I fi rst present theoretical characterizations of sensory things whose meaning is emergently constituted in the temporal unfolding of interaction. Next, a holistic view of space as a temporal arrangement of multiple bodies that exhibit orientations to each other and things in the environment of their interaction is presented. In conclusion, I suggest in which directions studies of things in interaction can be further developed.
