Description

Carnal Knowledge: Towards a 'New Materialism' Through the Arts explores the relationship between reality and materiality. This collection of writings brings together established and emerging scholars to examine how art reveals the complex connections between nature, culture, the body, language, and knowledge. The authors investigate the impact of the 'material turn' on creative arts, questioning whether this approach differs from continental epistemology and philosophy. They also explore the role of matter's agency, artistic practice, and the notion of 'truth to materials'. This book offers fresh perspectives on the emergence of a new field of study. By engaging with these questions, Carnal Knowledge provides insights into the exciting area of new materialism through the arts.
