Bringing together authors from two intellectual traditions that
have, so far, generally developed independently of one another -
critical theory and new materialism - this book addresses the
fundamental differences and potential connections that exist
between these two schools of thought. With a focus on some of the
most pressing questions of contemporary philosophy and social
theory - in particular, those concerning the status of
long-standing and contested separations between matter and life,
the biological and the symbolic, passivity and agency, affectivity
and rationality - it shows that recent developments in both
traditions point to important convergences between them and thus
prepare the ground for a more direct confrontation and
cross-fertilization. The first volume to promote a dialogue between
critical theory and new materialism, this collection explores the
implications for contemporary debates on ecology, gender,
biopolitics, post-humanism, economics and aesthetics. As such, it
will appeal to philosophers, social and political theorists, and
sociologists with interests in contemporary critical theory and
materialism.
