Rethinking Materialism

Taking as its starting point the diagnosis that events such as the pandemic, the ecological crisis, and the increasingly volatile international situation have made our relationship to the world problematic, the book aims to survey the ways in which this new situation can be productively theorized. Its three parts focus on: discourses of the "loss" of the world; attempts at resistance to this loss and regaining the "common" world; and discussions of matter as the "stuff" of the world.
