Matter: Journal of New Materialist Research is an interdisciplinary forum for publishing original research that brings the multiple to the individual, social, and symbolic levels, and that resignifies the relation between matter and discourse. Thinking through and beyond the concept of difference as hierarchical and exclusionary, it transforms well-known concepts associated with the scientific canon, objectivity, classification, and codification into onto-epistemological conceptual tools. Strongly related to contemporary feminist theory, the journal seeks academic papers, interventional writings, and artistic pieces that materialize dialogues across disciplines in order to find processes that shift hierarchical oppressions based upon dualisms and move towards social, epistemological and ethical transformation.
