Political Matter
Technoscience, Democracy, and Public Life
Bruce Braun and Sarah J. Whatmore, editors
University of Minnesota Press, 2010
An engaging collection that explores the politics of material objects
Political Matter seeks to develop a fully materialist theory of politics, one that opens new possibilities for imagining the relationship between scientific and political practices. The contributors assert that without such a theory the profusion of complex materials with and through which we live—plastic bags, smart cars, long-life lightbulbs—too often leaves us oscillating between fearful repudiation and glib celebration.
In his essay, Nigel Thrift writes about Ballettikka Internettikka.
