Theorizes the political agency of things and natural phenomena-such as trash, food, weather, and electricity-to examine how non-human elements exert force on human politics and social relations.
Da det nordamerikanskeelnet i 2003 satte ud i flere dage, konstaterede man, at ingen havde fuldforståelse for det enorme, skyggefulde netværk af transmissionsledninger,elværker og understationer. Man begyndte at tale om, at nettet havdehjerteflimmer og levede og døde efter egne regler. Strømudfaldet eret af Jane Bennetts mange konkrete eksempler på begivenheder, vi almindeligvisser som forårsaget af livløse dele i en maskine. I stedet må vi begynde at se dissebegivenheder som flygtige assemblager af levende materialiteter med handlekraft.Elnettet har kul, sved, elektronstrømme, plastic og profitmotiver som aktanter,for nu blot at nævne nogle få. Levende materialitet. Tingenes politiskeøkologi er Jane Bennetts indflydelsesrige argumenter for en nyvital materialisme. Gennem anerkendelse af materie som en aktant kan vi begyndeat opdyrke en mere ansvarlig, økologisk sund politik. Bennett inddrager Darwins orme, spiselig materie, Kafka og tænkere fraSpinoza til Deleuze for at perspektivere bestræbelsen på at navngive den ”vitalekraft” i materien.@font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;}@font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073697537 9 0 511 0;}@font-face {font-family:Garamond; panose-1:2 2 4 4 3 3 1 1 8 3; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:647 2 0 0 159 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}
Exploring the question of human agency amidst a world teeming with powerful nonhuman influences, Jane Bennett draws upon Whitman, Thoreau, Caillois, Whitehead, and other poetic writers to link a non-anthropocentric model of self to a democratic pluralism and a syntax and style of writing appropriate to the entangled world in which we live.
