Excellent- More about Figures of Entanglement: Diffractive Readings of Barad, New Materialism, and Rhetorical Theory and Criticism
Karen Barad's work in new materialisms scholarship encourages an understanding of meaning as inherently performative, material, and ecological. This collection organizes that conversation around her notion of entanglement, contributing to and enriching rhetoric and Barad's theorizing. Topics range from politics to breast cancer, genealogy, academic turns, Marx's notion of exchange, and the prehistoric emergence of human consciousness.

The field of contemporary new materialisms scholarship is ambitiously striving to transform the humanities and their interconnected relationship with the sciences. While this expansive endeavor encompasses a diverse range of currents, one of the most significant, yet often overlooked, is the influence exerted by the theoretical physicist and feminist philosopher Karen Barad. This collection, the first dedicated to engaging Barad's work in dialogue with the fields of rhetoric and communication studies, primarily centers its discussion around her concept of entanglement. Through this lens, meaning is understood as inherently performative, material, and ecological, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities of human existence.
The essays included in this collection explore rhetoric as a manifestation of entanglement, contributing to and enriching both rhetoric and Barad's theoretical framework. The topics covered in these essays span a wide range, including politics, breast cancer, genealogy, the trope of academic turns, Marx's notion of exchange, and the prehistoric emergence of human consciousness.
This collection has been republished with a new foreword by the editors and an afterword by Laurie E. Gries, and it originally appeared as a special issue of the journal Review of Communication in 2016. By bringing Barad's insights into conversation with the disciplines of rhetoric and communication studies, this collection offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing exploration of the boundaries between the humanities and sciences.
