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。
评分开始读的时候没有很高的期待,第四章的时候还是疑窦重重,第五章和第六章尤好,可以单独拿出来成一篇文章了:vital materialism对vitalism的有限亲和性及其学术谱系写得清清楚楚,而且有力深刻同时relevant。作品依旧只是一个初步的尝试,在本体论上消除人类、有机物和无机物的性质上的区别,在哲学上是对神定论和康德哲学的反击,在政治上则指向了一种更具活力、更有包容性的转向。Bennett的vital materialism在实践中依旧无法避免和environmentalism合体,这两个actants还是会由conatus的力量组成assemblage,虽然这并非她想要的。民主理论扩展到物质是一个大胆的宣言,但书本的论述还不够厚重,有一星扣在这个问题上。
评分多读再想想political ecology
评分终于(算是)细细的读过 一遍可以开始二刷了。最大的感受是,为了读懂一个康德的理论去读了一个下午的康德相关的理论研究(然而并没有懂),读到了很多名字都叫不出的哲学家写过的概念,合上书想退学去重新读一个本科。
评分非常喜欢。
Jane Bennett is Professor of Political Theory and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University.
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.
