ABSTRACT
Material entities, events, and processes localize actions and practices, track social events, anchor existential spaces, support practices and bundles, channel activity, damage and pass through social phenomena, and induce as well as prefigure activities and practices. Chains of action constitute or effect differences and changes of all the sorts that befall bundles: in activities, in what organizes practices, in arrangements, in relations between practices and arrangements, in relations among bundles, and in space and time. The material relations and processes that are captured in technology and the built environment can contribute to social changes. Material structures, events, and processes also enable and bring about changes in bundles and constellations by connecting arrangements to one another. Electronic transmissions between devices such as computers, tablets, and cell phones form an important sort of material connection among bundles today. Material spaces were partially responsible for various large changes over the history of the bourbon industry.
