2 Water, no less than stone, is a social material. The meanings associated with bottled water, for example, are transformative. “[W]e can observe an extensive taxonomy and nomenclature emerging with the proliferation of technologically processed and purified bottled water that suggests the fluid is not an objective or singular thing-in-itself, but a physically and culturally mediated product—a conceptually contested substance with a plurality of forms and social associations involving status, health, safety, and a desire for the pristine.” David Macauley, “The Domestication of Water: Filtering Nature through Technology”, Essays in Philosophy, Vol. 67 No.1, January 2005, p. 13.
