“On the Limits and Promise of New Materialist Philosophy” (2016)

“It is of deep concern to me how much New Materialism, particularly in Object Oriented Ontology, cannot deal with race; how it ignores or misreads the work of feminist and queer theory; and how the move to a kind of ontology-centered hermeneutic suppresses the question and problem of difference. Here I am particularly worried by the ongoing citation of ‘the power of language’ or ‘representationalism’ as a problem that is corrected by new materialism, as well as worried by loose and vague references to ‘identitarian thinking’ or ‘identity politics as a failure to ground and create productive political thought.”
