Rethinking MaterialismMaking the World Material Again\nAuthor(s): Szymon Wrbel, Krzysztof Skonieczny\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Palgrave Macmillan\nISBN-13: 9783031849794, 978-3031849794\nSynopsis\nTaking 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.
