Abstract
The chapters in this book have illuminated four building blocks of debates about materiality in institutions: objects and artifacts, digitality and information, space and time, bodies and embodiment. Each block has been an opportunity to stress the relationships between theoretical, epistemological, methodological and ontological debates on institutional dynamics. Defining what an institution is or becomes, how it is performed and embodied, has also strong implications about the way it can be theorized and analyzed.
