New materialisms argue for a more science-friendly humanities, addressing questions about methodology, subject matter and the importance of things other than humans in areas such as climate, biology, affect, geology, animals and objects. This collection of essays is in kinship with this radical shake-up of how and what we study - and it also aims to re-navigate what constitutes materiality. These efforts are summed up by a rewriting of the Derridean axiom'there is no outside text'as'there is no outside nature.
