Methods and Genealogies of New Materialisms

Brings together a range of research communities to contextualize and archive over a decade of work in new materialist theorising and knowledge-making practice

• Consolidates new materialisms as a distinguished field of scholarship
• Brings together the key proponents of the field in a multi-voiced conversation
• Provides consonant, dissonant, and feminist genealogies of the state of the field
• Focuses on the methodological nature of the materiality and meaning-making nexus

Combining a reflective genealogical approach along with productive avenues for future research, this volume is an essential collection for the field of new and feminist materialisms.The volume uses the new materialist movements in thought of changing, intersecting, practicing, and transforming. As methods, these movements have engendered the metaphysical questions that different new and feminist materialist practices engage. The volume follows these four movements as method-question-actions in four parts, each of which is preceded by an introductory framing-essay. Rosi Braidotti's preface offers revelatory mappings to bring the book together and curated panels further offer co-authored texts which practice the collective nature of academic thinking advocated by the European feminist new materialisms network.
