What are the problems to which materialist methodologies are posed
as a solution? In this book, Aaron M. Kuntz maps the impact of
materialism on contemporary practices of inquiry in education and
the social sciences. Through this work, the author challenges
readers to consider inquiry as a mode of ethically engaged
citizenship with implications for resisting our contemporary moment
towards a more equitable future. The author engages his own inquiry
as radical cartographic work, drawing forth distinctions between
dialectical and dialogic formations of materialism in order to
develop what he terms relational materialism-an engaged orientation
to living that dwells in the entangled relations of affirmative
ethics and enduring practices of resistance and refusal. Drawing
upon examples from higher education, contemporary culture, and
normative assumptions of governance, the author considers the
potential that we might generate living alternatives to the
contemporary status quo; daily practices no longer dependent on
binary division or standardized calculations of what "matters." As
such, the author advocates for practices of virtuous inquiry
(future-orientated ethical assertions of what one should do) that
orient inquiry as materially ethical activity. Despite the
often-overwhelming state of inequity and exploitation in our
contemporary world, Kuntz generates an affirmative ethical stance
that we can become relationally different, guided by a virtuous
determination to articulate inquiry as the cartographic work of
disruption and imagination. This text will prove valuable to
graduate students and faculty who take inquiry seriously and seek
the means to understand their work as engaged in the necessary
challenge for material change.
