Abstract

The works reviewed in this year’s essay on New Materialisms raise queries about first-wave New Materialism and signal what some critics refer to as second-phase Neo-materialism. The ‘Neo’ or New Materialisms of 2022 increasingly commingle the rhetorical and the material and address the Western-centric focus of previous New Materialisms. The works reviewed here, including Rosi Braidotti’s ‘The Virtual as Affirmative Praxis: A Neo-Materialist Approach’, Anne Elvey’s Reading with Earth: Contributions of the New Materialism to an Ecological Feminist Hermeneutics, Nina Lykke’s Vibrant Death: A Posthuman Phenomenology of Mourning, and Clayton Crockett’s Energy and Change a New Materialist Cosmotheology, engage new intersections between New Materialist theory and decoloniality, making deliberate gestures to integrate the idea of vibrant materiality and Indigenous cultures. This review essay is divided into five parts: 1. Introduction; 2. Neo-Materialism; 3. Literary Studies; 4. Theology; 5. Postcolonialism/Decoloniality. The essay concludes that New Materialism may indeed be on the brink of a second phase, especially if decolonial New Materialism continues to be explored.

今年的文章《新唯物主义》所回顾的作品提出了对第一波新唯物主义的质疑，并标志着一些评论家所说的第二阶段新唯物主义。2022年的“新”或新唯物主义将越来越多地将修辞和物质结合起来，并解决以往新唯物主义以西方为中心的问题。这里的工作回顾,包括罗斯。布赖多缇指出的“虚拟肯定实践:Neo-Materialist方法”,安妮Elvey与地球的阅读:贡献新唯物主义的生态女性主义诠释学,尼娜吕克充满活力的死亡:《后人类哀悼现象学》和克莱顿·克罗克特的《能量与变化——新唯物主义宇宙神学》，在新唯物主义理论和去殖民化之间进行了新的交叉点，有意地将充满活力的物质性和本土文化结合起来。本文共分为五个部分:1、论文的写作内容;介绍;2. Neo-Materialism;3.。文学研究;4. 神学;5. Postcolonialism / Decoloniality。文章的结论是，新唯物主义可能确实处于第二阶段的边缘，特别是如果非殖民化的新唯物主义继续被探索的话。
