In "Vibrant Matter" the political theorist Jane Bennett, renowned for her work on nature, ethics, and affect, shifts her focus from the human experience of things to things themselves. Bennett argues that political theory needs to do a better job of recognizing the active participation of nonhuman forces in events. Toward that end, she theorizes a 'vital materiality' that runs through and across bodies, both human and nonhuman. Bennett explores how political analyses of public events might change were we to acknowledge that agency always emerges as the effect of ad hoc configurations of human and nonhuman forces. She suggests that recognizing that agency is distributed this way, and is not solely the province of humans, might spur the cultivation of a more responsible, ecologically sound politics: a politics less devoted to blaming and condemning individuals than to discerning the web of forces affecting situations and events. Bennett examines the political and theoretical implications of vital materialism through extended discussions of commonplace things and physical phenomena including stem cells, fish oils, electricity, metal, and trash. She reflects on the vital power of material formations such as landfills, which generate lively streams of chemicals, and omega-3 fatty acids, which can transform brain chemistry and mood. Along the way, she engages with the concepts and claims of Spinoza, Nietzsche, Thoreau, Darwin, Adorno, and Deleuze, disclosing a long history of thinking about vibrant matter in Western philosophy, including attempts by Kant, Bergson, and the embryologist Hans Driesch to name the 'vital force' inherent in material forms. Bennett concludes by sketching the contours of a 'green materialist' ecophilosophy.
太有营养了,慢慢看
评分很像文献综述一样的论文书籍。作者用了很多大词理论,但是作者也只是将他们的概念复述而已,每天更多的解释,也没有怎样阐发。其实比较一般吧,因为不要喜欢外国论文里这种概念堆积的方式。 她提出了自己的观点,但是阐述时用的全是别人观点,很像复制粘贴。就这样。 但是可以从这本书了解到丰富的思想脉络。
评分多读再想想political ecology
评分treating objects and your life ecologically
评分以ontological monism立场挑战人类中心主义所预设的主客二元,并借由政治-生态的类比来勾勒“物的政治生态学”。开篇便声明要悬搁“人”的问题,而这一去中心化姿态恰恰使全书在勾勒vibrant matter时不得不在离心与向心之间反复。作者对此的辩护主要诉诸于拟人化修辞的伦理价值(即通过修辞进一步提示人与物的亲缘性),但由于Bennett坚持vital materialism要与historical materialism划清界限,这种flat ontology无法也无意处理与“物的人化”恰成镜像的“人的物化”,很难说是否会导出flat ethics & politics。
