Mads EjsingI did not expect my first "accepted without revisions"-article to be a defence of theories of new materialism in a critical theory journal, but here we are: https://doi.org/10.1177/07255136241240086
In the article I offer (what I hope is) a conciliatory response to a series of Marxist critiques levelled against theories of new materialism in recent years. The short story: They need each other.
I have wanted to write something like this since I first read Malm's The Progress of this Storm in 2017 that set up poor conditions for a constructive dialogue between new materialism and marxist thinking.
Let me know what you think!
