Vibrant Matter by Jane Bennett
A Political Ecology of Things
Arguing for a “vital materialism,” this work contends that nonhuman things possess a lively agency that shapes social, political, and ecological realities. Through examples such as power grids, trash, and food, it illustrates how assemblages of humans and nonhumans produce effects that exceed human intention. By unsettling the subject–object divide and engaging thinkers like Spinoza, Deleuze, and Latour, it calls for more attentive, ethically responsive politics attuned to the vibrancy of matter.
