With Bennett’s keen insights, I believe I can now show students (and others, maybe even some colleagues) that, through the concept, the sensibility, the practice of vibrant materialities, people in all walks of life can see the sense in treating both nature and artifacts ‘more carefully, more strategically, more ecologically’ (p.18).” — Thomas Princen, Perspectives on Politics i do respect the goal of it and obviously it's important to consider nonhuman things in issues of politics and rights and ethics blablabla

How’s it in?” Bennett asked. She turned to me. “Try to pull it out!” I leaned down, grabbed an orange handful, and yanked. It wouldn’t budge.

We decided to walk up a nearby hill, toward a hip neighborhood called Hampden. In front of an extraordinarily ugly apartment building, we ambled to a stop. Bennett was trying to show me something with great enthusiasm.I read this book because its title seems to have become a catchphrase in articles that a couple of our bright-eyed young grad students keep sending me. So I’m late to the new-materialist party, but this book makes me feel that i didn’t miss much. The SINISTER side of this book is that it makes it harder to hold human powers accountable for destructive actions. This is the downside of Bennett’s apparently virtuous and humble goal of de-centering human agency, intentions, and actions while elevating non-human factors. The oil-soaked pelican and the polluted water DO deserve as much respect and value and protection as humans. But I don’t believe we’ll achieve that by declaring them to be equal participants in an “assemblage” with the oil company whose tanker poisoned their environment. Bennett, Jane; Shapiro, Michael J.
