New
Materialism

The end is near!... after call-outs and contributions in 2016 and 2017, we are conducting a final call for entries.

Comprising 42 entries to date, from key terms to more poetic neologisms, the almanac has become a unique document of the COST action and New Materialism more generally. In this final phase we are keen that the Almanac develops its scholarly scope and quality. To achieve this we need excellent contributions and politely insist that if you have been part of the action, and benefitted from its support and networks, please think of contributing an entry on a term that you are working with and feel should be present. We are also open to entries from beyond the network.

We welcome you to submit multiple entries, co-author entries, or write entries on current terms that may sit side-by-side with others. Entries should be between 100-700 words in length, use Harvard citation system, and include synonyms, antonyms, etc - as detailed on the template available here.
See current entries on this website for reference.

The deadline for submitting entries is: 15th March, 2018.

Entries will be peer reviewed by members of Working Group 1 and we aim to have all edited contributions published online by the Utrecht conference in June 2018. We are currently exploring options for how the Almanac may be published more formally and looking at ways to sustain its online existence post the COST action. To this end existing entries will be undergoing a further round of peer review.

Email Sam Skinner (co-chair of WG1) with entries or enquiries: mail@samskinner.net

In good faith,

Sam Skinner, David Gauthier and Iris van der Tuin
