Homo Textor aims to exemplify how the (technical) mode of existence of weaving is able to provide concepts that help to rethink Homo faber and the way the Moderns (as described by Latour) talk about technology. The characteristic weaving mode is defined as histomorphism: a generative process where intelligible forms grow out of the loom-weaver-threads system contradicting the hylomorphic schema where an actor gives form to matter.
