Description
This cumulative work brings together a range of research communities to contextualize and archive over a decade of work in new materialist theorising and knowledge-making practice. 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 materialism.
The collection 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 for genealogical, interdisciplinary, arts-based and politics-orienting research in four parts, each of which is preceded by an introductory framing-essay.
Rosi Braidotti's preface provides revelatory mappings to bring the book together and curated panels further offer co-authored texts which practise the collective nature of academic thinking advocated by the feminist new materialisms network.

Reviews / Votes
New Materialism is one of the most coherent and influential movements in contemporary continental thought. In this collection, anchored by a fiery preface from leading New Materialist Rosi Braidotti, Colman and van der Tuin assemble a wide range of articles that push this paradigm further. The reader will find many provocative ideas in this volume. -- Graham Harman, Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles, USAMore details
