Class Matters: A New Materialist Approach
----------------------------------------------------------
Presented by Peta Hinton (Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf, Germany).
The 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
----------------------------------------
Presented by Nick J. Fox (University of Huddersfield, England).
In this paper, Nick outlines a new materialist perspective on social class and contrasts this with existing approaches. Marx’s materialist analysis of social class explored two flows of matter: of human bodies and of economic capital.
