Communication and Feminist New Materialism: Methodologies to understand the continuum between matter and discourse Revelles Benavente, Beatriz González Ramos, Ana M. Comunicación Crítica del discurso Nuevos materialismos feministas The relationship between literature and social networking sites (SNS) is a material context in which authors and readers merge into each other to create a literary communicative process that transforms contemporary politics. The aim of this paper is to analyse the communicative process by investigating the continuum between matter and discourse from a new materialist approach. From social sites, we can understand how elements, such as readers, authors, context, novels, culture and digital platforms, “intra-act” (Barad 2007) to create an affecting/ed communicative process. We propose feminist new materialism as a theoretical terrain that helps to reconfigure politics and communication in order to build a methodological framework for contemporary feminist politics and theory related to Literature. Using a digital genealogy and the theory of new materialism, we identify communication in literature as a trapping force in which different elements intra-act with each other and become indivisible. Affecting/ed communication is a dynamic conceptualization, a literary activity in which active agents participate in creative spaces for future social changes. 2024-01-19T09:53:35Z 2024-01-19T09:53:35Z 2018 journal article Revelles-Benavente, Beatriz/González Ramos, Ana M.: Communication and Feminist New Materialism: Methodologies to understand the continuum between matter and discourse, FZG – Freiburger Zeitschrift für GeschlechterStudien, 1-2018, S. 55-70. https://doi.org/10.3224/fzg.v24i1.04 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/86947 10.3224/fzg.v24i1.04 eng open access
