The five week long, cross-blog reading group on Jane Bennett’s Vibrant Matter<\/em> is wrapping up this week, with the discussion officially moving here for the final stretch. Here’s what’s been written so far (at least what I’ve seen):<\/p>\n


\nPeter Gratton’s Overview<\/a> and his interview with Jane Bennett<\/a><\/p>\n

Beginning Thoughts:<\/p>\n

Immanence on Bennett’s ‘Thing Power’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stuart Elden on Bennett and the history of ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

James Stanescu (Critical Animal) on \u201cEnabling Instrumentations.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Preface<\/a>: Gratton (Philosophy in a Time of Error), Chapter 1, Gratton on Section I<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chapter 1, Gratton on Sections II-V<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chapter 1, Gratton on Section VI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chapter 2: Critical Animal here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Also, Immanence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chapter 3: Critical Animal here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Also, Immanence<\/a> and Naught Thought<\/a>. See also Electrate Professor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chapter 4: Critical Animal<\/a><\/p>\n

Chapter 5: Naught Thought<\/a>, Critical Animal<\/a>, and Immanence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chapter 6: An und f\u00fcr sich <\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chapter 7: An und f\u00fcr sich <\/a>. Also, Immanence <\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition, Archive Fire<\/a> and In the Middle<\/a> posted a bit on the book, as did Graham Harman here<\/a> and here<\/a> (in advance of the blogathon).<\/p>\n

There seems a general consensus that the book has not generated as much discussion and debate as had been anticipated, with a few different thoughts suggested for why that’s been the case (summer, the book being more suggestive than outlining a well defined position, and its suggestions being not entirely original for this community of blogger\/readers, etc.).<\/p>\n

I’ll present my thoughts on the final chapter, as well as concluding thoughts on the book as a whole, in upcoming posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
