这是一个在全球大流行期间撰写的论坛，是一个关于修辞上的新唯物主义(RNM)的论坛，但它也是一个由病毒撰写的论坛，随时都在变化。作为编辑，当我们第一次设想这个论坛时，我们设想将学者们聚集在一起，探索修辞学和新唯物主义之间的联系，在2020年5月美国修辞学会(RSA)会议之后举行为期一天的会后静修。被邀请的是来自不同时代和不同学科的学者，他们有着不同的方法论承诺，我们知道他们在发表的学术论文中优先考虑新的唯物主义研究，并愿意处理对新唯物主义的批评，这些新唯物主义在当时主要集中在忽视土著和批判性的种族观点，以及人类的去中心化。我们设想了一个小静修所，参与创造性的合作伙伴关系，受邀的参与者将就新的唯物主义主题和争论点展开讨论。我们尤其感兴趣的是唐尼·萨基在2019年修辞评论研讨会上提出的一个尖锐的问题，该研讨会的主题是遗赠主义和文化修辞学：“我们如何解释看似不相容的不同和趋同的探究时刻，却可以作为建立跨/跨学科联盟的时刻，从而使学术和更大的公众都受益？”(Sackey等人)376)。因此，我们认为，务虚会是一个机会，可以开始进行批判性讨论，并就工作白皮书进行合作，目的是在这个论坛上发表这些对话。但是，在2020年3月，这样的计划显然是不可能实施的。在全球大流行的威胁下，RSA会议被取消，大学旅行预算被暂停，美加边境被关闭，每个与会者都感受到了一种病毒给我们带来的动荡：许多人通过失去朋友和家人、打破常规、社会孤立的孤独、关系的破裂以及对年幼孩子的持续照顾而感到不安。除了疫情带来的压力外，美国的种族不公正和抗议活动正在升级，特朗普政府内部和周围的政治紧张局势也在升级，对许多人来说，这增加了对该机构的影响，让他们感觉势不可挡。当我们试图重新想象如何在整个2020年放大国内和全球压力的情况下将学者聚集在一个论坛上时，一些学者出于他们自己的健康、家庭和其他优先事项而撤回了他们的参与；另一些人质疑在这种胁迫下还能有什么样的合作。因此，我们考虑完全放弃这个论坛。然而，尽管有病毒和文化-政治时刻不断积累的压力，或者可能是因为它们，我们也意识到，如果说有什么时候是正确的，可以同时讨论修辞学研究中新唯物主义的希望和失败，那就是那个凯洛特时刻。如果说RNM有什么不同的话，那就是在面对日益加剧的纠葛时努力应对死后的存在，关于发现关系中的机构，关于面对变化、转型和不可预测的事件。不管是好是坏，我们要求投稿人以他们最感兴趣的新的唯物主义的方式写下他们力所能及的东西。2020年的后果对我们每个学术机构的影响是不同的，引发了不同国家的学术参与情绪
Written in the midst of a global pandemic, this is a forum on rhetorical new materialisms (RNM), but it is also a forum that has been written by a virus, changed at every turn. When we, as editors, first imagined this forum, we imagined bringing together scholars to explore connections between rhetoric and new materialisms for a one-day postconference retreat following the May 2020 Rhetoric Society of America (RSA) conference. Those invited were scholars from different generations and disciplines with differing methodological commitments who we knew had prioritized new materialist studies in their published scholarship and would be willing to address critiques against new materialisms that largely, at the time, focused on the neglect of Indigenous and critical race perspectives and the decentering of humans. We had pictured a small retreat that engaged creative partnerships in which invited participants would talk across new materialist themes and points of contention. We were especially interested in a poignant question posed by Donnie Sackey in a 2019 Rhetoric Review symposium on posthumanism and cultural rhetorics: “How might we account for divergent and convergent moments of inquiry that appear incompatible, but can serve as moments of cross/trans/ inter-disciplinary alliance-building that can benefit both academic and larger publics?” (Sackey et al. 376). We thus imagined the retreat as an opportunity to begin engaging in critical discussions and collaborating on working whitepapers, with the intent to publish those conversations in this forum. But, in March 2020, it became clear that such a plan was impossible to carry out. Under the threat of a global pandemic, the RSA conference was canceled, university travel budgets were suspended, the US–Canada border was closed, and each and every participant felt the tumult of a virus writing us: many through the losses of friends and family, the disruption of routine, the loneliness of social isolation, the breakdown of relationships, the constant care of small children. On top of the stresses brought on by the pandemic, racial injustices and protests were escalating in the United States, as were political tensions within and around the Trump administration, adding affects to the body that, for many, simply felt overwhelming. As we tried to reimagine how to bring scholars together in a forum in the midst of amplifying national and global stresses throughout 2020, some scholars withdrew their participation for the sake of their own health, families, and other priorities; others questioned what kind of collaboration could even be possible under such duress. We thus contemplated giving up on this forum altogether. Yet, in spite of the virus and the accumulating stresses of the cultural-political moment, or perhaps because of them, we also realized that if any time was right to address both the promises and failures of new materialisms for rhetorical studies, this was that kairotic moment. RNM, if anything, is about grappling with posthuman existence in the face of intensifying entanglements, about discovering agencies within relationality, about confronting change, transformation, unpredictable eventfulness. For better or worse, then, we asked contributors to write what they could in ways they could toward a new materialist matter of most interest to them. The consequentiality of 2020 hit each of our academic bodies differently, triggering moods of intellectual engagement that vary across the
