Navigational tools towards a non-reductionist naturalism where
matter is chameleon and agential New materialisms argue for a more
science-friendly humanities, ventilating questions about
methodology and subject matter and the importance of the non-human.
However, these new sites of attention - climate, biology, affect,
geology, animals and objects - tend to leverage their difference
against language and the discursive. Similarly, questions about
ontology have come to eclipse, and even eschew, those of
epistemology. While this collection of essays is in kinship with
this radical shake-up of how and what we study, the aim is to
re-navigate what constitutes materiality. These efforts are
encapsulated by a rewriting of the Derridean axiom, 'there is no
outside text' as 'there is no outside nature.' What if nature has
always been literate, numerate, social? And what happens to 'the
human' if its exceptional identity and status is conceded quantum,
non-local and ecological implication?
