SOCIOPLASTICS AT 11K — MUSEOLOGY · CATALOGUING · CURATORIAL RESEARCH · CHANNEL: FreshMuseum · AUTHOR: Anto Lloveras · INSTITUTION: LAPIEZA-LAB · LOCATION: Madrid, Spain · YEAR: 2026 · FIELD: Museology / Cataloguing / Curatorial Research

 

His curatorial practice includes more than 180 exhibitions and a long engagement with exhibition design and public interpretation. Earlier work ranges from spatial design for ARCO and exhibition centres to the ongoing LAPIEZA programme, where the exhibition is treated not simply as a container for objects but as a device for composing relations, sequences and forms of public knowledge. Museums depend on acts that often remain invisible: naming, numbering, locating, describing, grouping, preserving and retrieving. At eleven thousand nodes, Socioplastics makes those operations impossible to ignore. The corpus behaves increasingly like a collection whose catalogue is not a secondary aid but one of its principal research instruments. A collection of this size cannot be understood by looking only at its most prominent objects. Its meaning also resides in adjacency, omission, repetition and unexpected return. The 110 Books and 11 Tomes provide one arrangement; the 400 CamelTags provide another; bibliographies, project registers and field archives create further paths through the same material. None is definitive. Each catalogue produces a different version of the collection. This is where curatorial practice becomes epistemic. To place two items together is to propose a relation. To keep them apart is also a decision. To preserve an obsolete category reveals a history of classification. To rename something changes its future discoverability. The infrastructure of a collection therefore participates in what that collection can say. Beyond the Exhibition (2026) offers one corrective to the exhibition-centred biography: public events are only certain moments within a much longer artistic process. The longitudinal documentation around Manuel Maqueda shows why records of studios, meetings, travel and video should retain their original dates and media. Subir Bajando (2026) supplies another distinction, between preservation and canonisation. FreshMuseum can therefore be a museum of researchable relations rather than a machine for declaring artistic value. Classification enables encounters, but it must also disclose what is missing, provisional or merely inferred. FreshMuseum reads the 11K corpus as a museum without a single building: distributed, revisable and continuously re-catalogued. The index below presents its current architecture while leaving open the possibility of other exhibitions, other sequences and other ways of entering the same material.

Consolati, I. (2024) ‘Algorithms and Conceptual History’, Revista de Filosofía de la Universidad de Costa Rica, 62(166), pp. 167–176.

Consolati asks what happens to conceptual history when social and political semantics are increasingly produced inside digitally mediated and algorithmically regulated environments. The argument is not that algorithms simply add new terminology; it is that the conditions under which concepts circulate, stabilise and mutate are themselves changing. Her methodological operation is to extend conceptual history toward technological mediation, using the problem of “algorithmic politics” to connect inherited semantic analysis with transformations of the contemporary state. This bridges Begriffsgeschichte, political theory, digital studies and the study of algorithmic governance. What becomes visible is a new layer of conceptual agency: sorting, ranking, recommendation and computational representation participate in the social environments through which political concepts acquire operational effects. For a machine-readable critical dictionary, the implication is reflexive. The system that stores concepts is no longer external to their history. Once concepts become queryable, ranked, linked and processed, their infrastructure becomes part of the conditions under which they are encountered and therefore part of the conceptual field itself.

Li, G., Wang, L., Wu, C., Xu, Z., Zhuo, Y. and Shen, X. (2022) ‘Spatial Planning Implementation Effectiveness: Review and Research Prospects’, Land, 11(8), 1279.

Li and colleagues review spatial planning implementation through the changing criteria used to decide whether a plan has been effective. Their key proposition is that evaluation has moved from complete rationality and simple spatial conformity toward limited rationality, open systems and actor-centred accounts of implementation. The methodological operation is genealogy through evaluation frameworks: conformance, performance and hybrid approaches are compared to show how different concepts of effectiveness produce different evidence. A plan can diverge from its mapped intention yet still influence decisions; conversely, formal spatial consistency may conceal weak causal force. The review therefore relocates implementation from an end-state comparison to a process in which actors interpret, adapt, partially adopt or abandon planning intentions under changing conditions. It bridges spatial planning, policy implementation and evaluation theory. For the shared nexus, this is the critical move after approval: continuity cannot mean literal sameness. What must be traced is whether commitments continue to structure later decisions and how spatial outcomes, behavioural effects and institutional adaptations can be compared without reducing persistence to cartographic compliance.

Demirci, M.R. (2026) ‘The Talking Mirror: Subjectivation and Digital Reflections in the Age of Artificial Intelligence’, Society. doi:10.1007/s12115-026-01193-1.

Demirci’s “Talking Mirror” names a specific transformation in digital subjectivation: algorithmic systems do not merely represent the user but return processed representations that actively solicit response. The subject produces data, the system classifies and ranks those traces, and the resulting recommendations, notifications or conversational outputs are fed back into self-perception and behaviour. The mirror therefore becomes a recursive infrastructure rather than a passive image. Methodologically, the paper uses structured metaphor analysis and interdisciplinary theoretical synthesis, aligning Lacanian reflection, Foucauldian subjectivation, media theory, surveillance capitalism and AI ethics around distinct analytical functions. Its conceptual strength lies in making feedback the mechanism that links representation to power. What appears as personalised reflection is already shaped by optimization logics, data selection and commercial priorities. The paper bridges sociology of the self with critical AI studies by treating algorithmic mediation as both epistemological and ontological: it structures what users know about themselves while participating in what they become. Subjectivity emerges as a negotiated human-machine loop.

Peters, A.-K. and Bengtsson, S. (2026) ‘Towards understanding identity as a queer and political performance: an analytical framework applied in the context of computer science education’, Cultural Studies of Science Education. doi:10.1007/s11422-026-10290-w.

Peters and Bengtsson recast identity as a site where structure can be reproduced but also interrupted. Their key move is to treat contradictions not as analytical noise but as openings through which political subjectivity becomes visible. Drawing on Morton’s alternative logics and Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, the framework deliberately unsettles binaries such as male/female, rational/emotional, technical/social and human/non-human. Methodologically, the paper operationalises this through a three-step analysis: open coding of identity performances, identification of competing discourses through paradoxes and tensions, and a return to those contradictions to detect non-hegemonic logics. The ethnographic case of a computer-science teacher who performs an affective, non-dominating relation with the computer demonstrates how disciplinary identity can be reconfigured from within practice. The work bridges identity research with queer theory, political discourse analysis and science-and-technology education. Its strongest contribution is to make indeterminacy methodologically productive: identity becomes political precisely where established classifications fail to close the subject.

Razinsky, L. (2026) ‘Self and others in algorithmic governmentality: between hyper-individuation and disindividuation’, AI & Society, 41, pp. 4791–4806. doi:10.1007/s00146-025-02810-z.

Razinsky diagnoses algorithmic personalization as a paradoxical technology of subjectivation. The more platforms claim to tailor environments to an individual, the less they address a coherent subject: the person is dispersed into a data double assembled from heterogeneous traces and inferences. Hyper-individuation thus produces disindividuation. The paper’s strongest conceptual move is to place alterity at the centre of this contradiction. Personalization appears to remove friction and comparison, creating “societies of one”, yet the data double is built from the statistical residues of innumerable others. Otherness is therefore neither absent nor present in recognisable form; it is decomposed, averaged and silently reintroduced as algorithmic mediation. Methodologically, Razinsky develops a critical theoretical synthesis around data doubles, algorithmic governmentality and personalization rather than treating recommendation systems as neutral technical devices. The paper bridges philosophy of subjectivity with media theory and data studies by showing that common space and the social conditions of individuation are themselves being reorganised through operational infrastructures.

Stavroulaki, I., Ivarsson, O., Berghauser Pont, M. and Verendel, V. (2024) ‘From Explanations to Predictions: Developing a Predictive Model of Pedestrian Flows on Existing and Planned Streets’, Proceedings of the 14th International Space Syntax Symposium, pp. 1705–1734. doi:10.36158/979125669032977.

Stavroulaki and colleagues shift pedestrian analysis from explaining observed movement to predicting flows in streets that may not yet exist. Their methodological strategy is deliberately parsimonious: a small set of spatial predictors derived from street-network modelling is combined through LASSO regression, trained on Stockholm data and tested in central Gothenburg. The iconic contribution lies less in machine learning itself than in the insistence that a planning model must remain usable when detailed behavioural data are unavailable. Prediction becomes an operational test of whether spatial knowledge can travel from one urban context to another. This raises a crucial epistemic issue: portability is not identical to universality, and predictive success depends on disciplined reduction of the city to variables that remain calculable across sites. The study bridges space syntax, predictive modelling and urban design, demonstrating how abstraction can become an instrument for scenario-making while simultaneously revealing the selective character of every modelled urban future.

Emotion becomes analytically unstable as soon as it is removed from the fiction of an isolated interior. What appears as a feeling is already an organised relation among body, concept, language, situation and norm. The 2026 work on social construction sharpens this proposition by making embodiment impossible to leave outside the social. Eickers and Prinz argue that norms do not hover above bodily states as interpretations added later; they materialise through the body, patterning what may be felt, expressed and recognised. Bae reaches the same instability from another direction.

Predictive processing makes emotional content depend on conceptually organised priors that integrate interoceptive and exteroceptive signals with learned expectations. The body therefore matters, but never as a self-sufficient code. Emotional reality is assembled through ongoing inference, and inference is historically educated. Language is one of the main architectures through which this education occurs. Gonzalez and Cohen-Charash show experimentally that apparently descriptive labels such as “positive” and “negative” carry evaluative force, establishing norms about emotions and about the people who display them. Words classify, but classification also distributes approval, suspicion, desirability and moral status. Chaouch-Orozco, Li and Li extend the problem from individual terms to semantic topology. Emotion concepts occupy different relational positions across languages, and cultural orientations toward the future help account for these differences. A concept is therefore not a discrete token with a universal core; it belongs to a semantic field whose structure is culturally patterned. Emotional meaning is spatial in a precise sense: it emerges from proximities, distances and patterned relations among categories. Context introduces a second spatiality. Şencan and colleagues show that emotional acculturation cannot be adequately described by comparing reported intensities alone. Turkish newcomers and Belgian majority participants may share some emotional patterns while narrating systematically different situations as emotionally significant. Context is not a container surrounding an otherwise intact emotion. It is part of what the emotion is. Family obligation, work, migration, communication and everyday logistics form distinct affective ecologies in which similar labels can designate different lived arrangements. This also transforms the meaning of cultural fit: a person can align with another group in one layer of affective life while remaining differently situated in another. Emotional worlds are therefore composed through recurrent situations rather than merely carried by individuals. The methodological consequence is a move from substances to configurations. Philosophical reconstruction, predictive models, controlled experiments, semantic-space analysis and topic modelling all converge on relational operations. Each method makes a different layer visible: the norm embedded in embodiment, the prior embedded in inference, the value embedded in terminology, the cultural orientation embedded in semantic organisation, the situation embedded in emotional experience. None of these layers is sufficient alone. Taken seriously, they demand an epistemology capable of following transformations between scales without collapsing them. Emotion can be studied as physiological pattern, category, utterance, narrative, statistical relation, interface effect or situated event, but the movement among these forms is itself part of the object. Affective world-making names this distributed process. A world is not simply the external stage on which emotion takes place; it is continually composed through categories, expectations, infrastructures and recurrent encounters that make some experiences salient and others improbable. Digital interfaces, urban spaces, institutional classifications, migration regimes and archives all participate in this production by organising attention, proximity, comparison, permission and memory. The question is therefore not only what someone feels but what arrangements make that feeling available as a recognisable possibility. Once emotion is treated as world-making, affective research enters the territory of spatial practice, media ecology and infrastructure: it becomes possible to ask how emotional categories circulate, where they become durable, which systems amplify them and what environments repeatedly call them into being. Socioplastics can operationalise this shift by treating affective categories as mobile relational structures rather than private contents. An archive can preserve the infrastructures and situations through which a category acquires force; a map can follow semantic and social proximities rather than only geographic coordinates; an urban observation can register how spaces organise exposure, anticipation, withdrawal and comparison; a corpus can trace the movement of emotional vocabularies across media and institutions. The gain is not a new psychology of emotion but a way to study how intimate experience becomes publicly organised without ceasing to be embodied. Affective world-making adds to Socioplastics a scale-sensitive account of how social form passes through bodies, language and environments, and how those forms can be traced without reducing one register to another.

Torres Pérez, F. and Gómez Crespo, P. (2024) ‘Relaciones vecinales, gentrificación y turistificación en barrios multiculturales centrales: reflexiones a partir de Russafa (Valencia) y Lavapiés (Madrid)’, Migraciones, pp. 1–21. https://doi.org/10.14422/mig.2024.024

Torres Pérez and Gómez Crespo compare Russafa and Lavapiés to examine how gentrification and touristification transform neighbourhood relations without producing identical outcomes. Their key finding is that Lavapiés remains a particularly complex configuration in which vulnerability, gentrification and touristification coexist, while forms of neighbourhood legitimacy expand to include both long-standing migrant populations and newer middle-class residents who value multicultural conviviality. The theoretical contribution lies in treating the “legitimate neighbourhood” as socially negotiated rather than given. Methodologically, comparison reveals that similar urban pressures can be mediated through different histories, relational structures and intensities of change. This is a useful corrective to deterministic accounts of café-led gentrification: new consumption spaces may participate in class restructuring while also becoming sites of encounter, recognition and incorporation into local life. The paper therefore offers a precise bridge between neighbourhood relations and place attachment, showing that belonging can be produced under conditions of transformation even when those transformations remain unequal and conflictual.

Gómez Crespo, P. (2024) ‘Superdiversidad, gentrificación y turistización en Embajadores-Lavapiés (Madrid)’, Anales del Museo Nacional de Antropología, 23, pp. 11–25.

Gómez Crespo interprets Embajadores-Lavapiés through the conjunction of superdiversity, gentrification and touristification, refusing to treat multiculturalism as a static demographic attribute. The neighbourhood appears instead as a relational field in which migration trajectories, class positions, residential histories, commercial transformations and forms of conviviality overlap without resolving into a single social order. The paper’s theoretical importance lies in preserving heterogeneity inside processes that are often narrated as homogenising: gentrification does not erase diversity instantly, while diversity itself can become part of the neighbourhood’s symbolic attractiveness. Methodologically, the anthropological perspective keeps everyday relations and local categories visible alongside broader structural processes. This makes it particularly relevant to café research, where clienteles may be socially mixed, commercial identities may draw on multiple cultural registers, and the same venue can function differently for residents, newcomers, migrants and visitors. The work provides a bridge between superdiversity research and the analysis of commercial spaces as sites where difference is encountered, performed, commodified and negotiated.

Chang, H. and Spierings, B. (2023) ‘Places “for the gram”: Millennials, specialty coffee bars and the gentrification of commercial streets in Seoul’, Geoforum, 139, 103677. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2023.103677

Chang and Spierings show how specialty coffee bars operate simultaneously as physical consumption spaces and digitally circulating urban images. Based on in-depth interviews and Instagram go-alongs with millennial users in Seoul, the paper demonstrates that coffee bars are often selected not primarily for coffee quality but for their visual and symbolic capacity to generate shareable experiences. The theoretical move is to treat Instagrammability as an active component of commercial gentrification: online visibility can redirect footfall, cluster new businesses and alter the aesthetic expectations through which streets are consumed. Methodologically, the integration of mobile interviewing with digital practice captures an urban process distributed across screens, bodies and streets rather than confined to the premises themselves. The paper is especially valuable because its participants can occupy contradictory positions as both gentrifying consumers and residents disturbed by rent increases, crowding and loss of belonging. It therefore replaces moral binaries with positional ambivalence and links aesthetics, authenticity, digital mediation and commercial displacement within one observable process.

Mazorra Rodríguez, Á. (2023) ‘Tendencias de gentrificación y turistificación en el centro histórico de Madrid. El caso de Lavapiés’, Historia y Memoria, 26, pp. 199–231. https://doi.org/10.19053/20275137.n26.2023.13672

Mazorra places Lavapiés within a wider restructuring of central Madrid driven by gentrification, touristification and increasing socio-spatial inequality. Using a mixed methodology that combines data analysis, in-depth interviews and historiographical review, the article moves between structural change and actor experience. Its key contribution is to demonstrate that neighbourhood transformation is not exhausted by demographic turnover: it also produces new narratives, perceptions and conflicts among those who live in, visit and interpret the area. The methodological operation is therefore double, combining measurable socio-economic change with the discursive field generated by transformation. This is particularly useful for studying cafés, which are simultaneously economic units, visual markers, meeting places and sites where residents, newcomers and tourists articulate different versions of what the neighbourhood is becoming. The paper provides the larger urban scale required to prevent micro-observations from floating free of housing, inequality and metropolitan restructuring. It connects everyday commercial change to Madrid’s increasingly polarised spatial economy.

López Narváez, M.F. (2021) ‘La turistificación de Lavapiés. Transformaciones de un barrio multicultural a partir de su renovación urbana’, Academia XXII, 12(23), pp. 172–190. https://doi.org/10.22201/fa.2007252Xp.2021.23.80165

López Narváez reconstructs touristification in Lavapiés as a transformation of the social and commercial fabric produced through urban renewal, rising attractiveness and the progressive reorientation of residential and commercial space toward visitors. The paper’s central contribution is genealogical: touristification is not treated as an autonomous market event but as the outcome of interventions, narratives and material changes that made the neighbourhood newly consumable. Historical review and statistical evidence are combined to show how the very qualities associated with Lavapiés’s distinctiveness—multiculturalism, marginality, migrant presence, countercultural history—could be re-coded as tourist assets. Methodologically, the work links planning history to later housing and commercial pressures, showing that “authenticity” can become an economic resource whose circulation changes the conditions of the place from which it is extracted. For café research, this is decisive: cafés do not merely respond to tourism but can become interfaces through which local difference is packaged, staged and consumed. The paper thus connects neighbourhood identity, urban renewal and commercial desire.

Barañano-Cid and Uceda-Navas challenge linear accounts of neighbourhood change by showing that gentrification and vulnerability coexist within Embajadores/Lavapiés rather than replacing one another in a simple temporal sequence. Their case-study design combines quantitative analysis of vulnerability with qualitative examination of expert and neighbourhood discourses, producing a deliberately heterogeneous account of the area. The iconic idea is not merely that the neighbourhood is complex, but that apparently contradictory urban conditions can be simultaneously true: rising desirability, cultural centrality and gentrifying pressures can persist alongside precarious populations, uneven infrastructures and socially vulnerable zones. Methodologically, the study resists binary classification and treats coexistence itself as evidence. This is especially significant for research on cafés because it warns against mapping traditional premises directly onto stability and new premises directly onto displacement. Commercial environments operate within an already differentiated field in which social position, tenure, migration, consumption, cultural capital and spatial micro-differences intersect. The paper provides a strong local basis for analysing urban transformation as layered rather than sequential.

Latham, A. and Layton, J. (2019) ‘Social infrastructure and the public life of cities: Studying urban sociality and public spaces’, Geography Compass, 13(7), e12444. https://doi.org/10.1111/gec3.12444

Latham and Layton recast urban public life through the concept of social infrastructure, drawing attention to places and facilities whose social effects exceed their formal programme. Libraries, laundrettes, parks, cafés, schools, swimming pools and sidewalks are treated not simply as containers for interaction but as material and institutional conditions through which encounter, familiarity and collective life become possible. Their contribution is to expand the category of public space beyond municipally owned plazas or streets and to recognise the public dimensions of ordinary commercial and semi-public environments. Methodologically, the paper proposes an infrastructural orientation: rather than asking only whether a space is formally public, it asks what forms of sociality, access, mixture and support it affords. This operation is crucial for cafés because it makes their social value analysable without romanticising them as inherently inclusive. It also places the politics of provision, access and exclusion inside the same frame as everyday conviviality, connecting urban geography with debates on third places, neighbourhood life and social reproduction.

Scannell, L. and Gifford, R. (2010) ‘Defining place attachment: A tripartite organizing framework’, Journal of Environmental Psychology, 30(1), pp. 1–10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2009.09.006

Scannell and Gifford stabilise place attachment as a multidimensional relation rather than a vague synonym for affection toward place. Their tripartite framework separates person, process and place: attachment is shaped by individual and collective meanings, by affective, cognitive and behavioural processes, and by the social and physical properties and scales of the place itself. The theoretical contribution lies in refusing to collapse these dimensions into a single attitudinal score. Methodologically, the framework becomes an organising device capable of structuring operational definitions, semi-structured interviews and comparative analysis. Its importance for urban research is that it allows attachment to be treated as patterned and situated rather than as an intrinsic property of residents or locations. A café, street or neighbourhood can therefore support different attachments for different groups, through different processes, and at different spatial scales. The framework provides a precise bridge between environmental psychology and the study of commercial, public and semi-public urban settings undergoing change.

Yemini, M., Engel, L. and Ben Simon, A. (2025) ‘Place-based education – a systematic review of literature’, Educational Review, 77(2), pp. 640–660. https://doi.org/10.1080/00131911.2023.2177260

Yemini, Engel and Ben Simon position place not as the backdrop of learning but as one of its constitutive materials. Their review defines place-based education through the connection between learning processes and the physical, cultural, ecological and social environments in which learners are situated. The iconic move is to replace abstract context with lived locality: knowledge is produced through attention to meanings, experiences, communities and environmental relations that exceed classroom boundaries. Methodologically, place-based education turns the learner into an investigator of the environments in which everyday life unfolds, encouraging comparison between ecological, cultural, political and economic layers. The review also stresses that place carries intergenerational knowledge and systems of mutual support, so locality cannot be reduced to coordinates or scenery. Its wider contribution is to reconnect pedagogy with civic and environmental agency. Learning becomes a practice of situated interpretation capable of revealing how apparently ordinary environments contain social histories, ecological dependencies and contested forms of belonging.

Monib, W.K., Qazi, A. and Apong, R.A. (2025) ‘Microlearning beyond boundaries: A systematic review and a novel framework for improving learning outcomes’, Heliyon, 11, e41413. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e41413

Monib, Qazi and Apong recast microlearning as a deliberate instructional architecture rather than simply shortened content. Their systematic review of forty studies identifies a recurring structure: small, targeted, action-oriented units tied to specific objectives, delivered in forms compatible with limited attention, mobile access and heterogeneous schedules. The theoretical contribution lies in linking the size of the learning unit to cognitive load, learner difference, personalization and medium selection. Brevity is therefore not a stylistic virtue in itself; it becomes effective when the unit is self-contained, purpose-specific and positioned within a larger sequence of application. The authors distinguish cognitive, behavioural and affective outcomes, showing that compact formats can support retention, transfer, engagement, collaboration and self-regulation when instructional design remains explicit. Their methodological operation is modularization: complex learning is decomposed without being conceptually trivialized. This provides a bridge between adult education, digital pedagogy and instructional design by showing how temporal compression can increase accessibility while preserving a coherent route from exposure to action.

Harper, D. (1998) ‘An Argument for Visual Sociology’, in Prosser, J. (ed.) Image-based Research: A Sourcebook for Qualitative Researchers. London: Falmer Press, pp. 20–35.

Harper argues for visual sociology as a framework capable of joining empirical recording, documentary photography and symbolic interpretation. His intervention resists the disciplinary habit of treating visual material as secondary to written evidence. Images can record aspects of social reality that conventional fieldnotes omit, while their meanings remain shaped by context, production, circulation and interpretation. Visual evidence is consequently neither self-authenticating nor reducible to textual description. The methodological strength of visual sociology lies in holding together these two propositions: images have empirical specificity, and their evidential status is socially mediated. Within Prosser’s broader sourcebook, questions of representation, trustworthiness, interpretation and reflexivity are treated as common methodological problems rather than reasons to exclude images from research. Harper’s argument provides a bridge between documentary practice, ethnography and sociology, making the visual archive available for cumulative analysis while preserving the need to reconstruct who made an image, under what conditions, for which audience and through which subsequent uses.

Kolb, R. and Richter, D. (2022) ‘Scores – From Situated Knowledges to Shared Action’, OnCurating, 53, pp. 121–125.

Kolb and Richter translate situated knowledge into a practical score-based format designed for enactment, modification and circulation. Their central idea is that a score can hold enough structure to be recognisable while remaining open enough to produce different outcomes in different contexts. This creates a compact model of curatorial authorship in which instruction does not eliminate agency but distributes it. Methodologically, the score becomes a transmissible research object: it can travel across places, be enacted by different groups, generate documentation and return to the platform in altered form. The conceptual bridge is to performance studies, participatory art and open-source culture, because the identity of the work is maintained through iterability rather than through material fixity. The score therefore offers a powerful model for curatorial frameworks that define conditions, thresholds and responsibilities while leaving the content of participation genuinely open to situated transformation.
