图书简介：新唯物主义聚焦并解释了在社会科学和人文科学中出现的创新唯物主义批判的重要性。通过收集有关物质和物质化过程的新思维的文章，这本重要的文集展示了学者们如何重新研究旧的唯物主义传统，当代理论辩论以及科学知识的进步，以应对紧迫的伦理和政治挑战。在导言中，戴安娜·库尔和萨曼莎·弗罗斯特强调了构成新物质主义的独特批判项目中的共同主题。他们所发现的连续性包括后人类主义者将物质视为有生命力或表现力的媒介，以及与日常生活的物质现实和更广泛的地缘政治和社会经济结构的重新接触。
库尔和弗罗斯特认为，当代经济、环境、地缘政治和技术的发展需要对自然、能动性以及社会和政治关系进行新的解释;重视意识和主观性的调查模式不足以完成这项任务。我们需要新的唯物主义哲学来公正地处理21世纪世纪生物政治学和政治经济学的复杂性，因为它们提出了关于人类在物质世界中的位置以及我们生产、繁殖和消费物质环境的方式的基本问题。
Book synopsis: New Materialisms brings into focus and explains the significance of the innovative materialist critiques that are emerging across the social sciences and humanities. By gathering essays that exemplify the new thinking about matter and processes of materialization, this important collection shows how scholars are reworking older materialist traditions, contemporary theoretical debates, and advances in scientific knowledge to address pressing ethical and political challenges. In the introduction, Diana Coole and Samantha Frost highlight common themes among the distinctive critical projects that comprise the new materialisms. The continuities they discern include a posthumanist conception of matter as lively or exhibiting agency, and a reengagement with both the material realities of everyday life and broader geopolitical and socioeconomic structures.
Coole and Frost argue that contemporary economic, environmental, geopolitical, and technological developments demand new accounts of nature, agency, and social and political relationships; modes of inquiry that privilege consciousness and subjectivity are not adequate to the task. New materialist philosophies are needed to do justice to the complexities of twenty-first-century biopolitics and political economy, because they raise fundamental questions about the place of embodied humans in a material world and the ways that we produce, reproduce, and consume our material environment.
