How things-in-common hold us together : How Things Hold Us Together: Averted Vision, Field Practice, and the Stakeholding of Things-in-Common

• How can things make us work together? A thing can be a common thing – or "boundary object" as Star and Griesemer calls it – amongst different actors. A "thing-in-common" – which I introduce here – is a deliberately political boundary object that brings actors face-to-face with each other via aesthetics. Through examining my public art interventions since 2014, including within the econo-political ecology of Hong Kong's informal cardboard waste (OCC) trade route, I will conceptualise "stakeholding", "field practice", and "averted vision" in tracing things with Urry's mobile ethnography. These are methodological concepts for cooperating with common things, to stimulate their eclosion into things-in-common.
