Clementine Edwards and Kris Dittel (eds.) ā The Material Kinship Reader
SECOND EDITION
What does it mean to acknowledge oneās closeness to, enmeshment in or even kinship with the material world? And what does it mean to question family structures ā the way they organise, coerce and make deviant certain lifeforms ā and dwell in other possibilities of kin-making?
Not just a jolly rethinking of objects or a polyamorous romp through relationships,Ā The Material Kinship ReaderĀ reckons with the extractavist histories of materials and the social relations that frame much of contemporary life.
Spanning fiction and theory, the collection of texts expand the idea of an artistās book by bringing words into conversation with an aesthetic proposition. Clementine Edwardsā artwork is the visual weft to the bookās written net. From colonial conquest to climate collapse,Ā The Material Kinship ReaderĀ tells toxic and tender stories of interdependence among all things sentient and insentient.
Including contributions by Sara Ahmed, Hana Pera Aoake, Roland Barthes, Joannie BaumgƤrtner, Heather Davis, Kris Dittel, Clem Edwards, Ama Josephine B. Johnstone, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Ursula K. Le Guin, Sophie Lewis, Steven Millhauser, Jena Myung, Aileen Moreton-Robinson, M. Murphy, Ada M. Patterson, Kim TallBear and Michelle Tea
