The first comprehensive scrutiny of the theories associated with
new materialisms including speculative realism, new materialism,
Object-oriented ontology and actor-network theory. One of the most
influential trends in the humanities and social sciences in the
last decades, new materialisms embody a critique of modernity and a
pledge to regain immediate reality by focusing on the materiality
of the world – human and nonhuman – rather than a
post-structuralist focus upon texts. Against New Materialisms
examines the theoretical and practical problems connected with
discarding modernity and the human subject from a number of
interdisciplinary angles: ontology and phenomenology to political
theory, mythology and ecology. With contributions from
international scholars, including Markus Gabriel, Andrew Cole, and
Dipesh Chakrabarty, the essays here challenge the capacity of new
materialisms to provide solutions to current international crises,
whilst also calling into question what the desire for such theories
can tell us about the global situation today.
