Class Matters: A New Materialist Approach
Presenter: Peta HintonThe material turn that has been gathering steam in the social and cultural sciences in recent years is distinguished by its signature approach to materiality as emergent, indeterminate, self-organising or sui generis: a dynamic participant in social meanings and processes that extends political analysis to more-than-human agencies.
Re-materialising Social Class
Presenter: Nick J. FoxIn this paper I outline a new materialist perspective on social class, and contrast this with existing approaches. Marx’s materialist analysis of social class explored two flows of matter: of human bodies and of economic capital.
