\nThe materiality of the immaterial<\/strong><\/em>
\nEncounter with Mijo Miquel<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.\u201d \u2014Carl Sagan[1]<\/em><\/p>\n

“The broomsticks are part of a tree, we are all and everything at the same time” \u2014Issa Samb[2]<\/em><\/p>\n

This text tries to combine the evolutionist vision of hard sciences with a certain universalist animism that, in the hands of people like Jane Bennet or Issa Samb, questions the implacable taxonomic ordering of reality that, since the Enlightenment, meant the conceptual separation of humanity from the rest of the world. This notion implicit in the new materialisms can be applied to the social sciences by questioning the anthropocentric and dematerialized analysis we make of our behaviours, even of that which we call consciousness and which sustains our fundamental theoretical difference with the rest of living matter. In this way, we can question our weight in the world and try to understand the inertias that are leading us to a situation in which our life force puts at risk our continuity as a species on the planet, as well as that of many other living beings.<\/p>\n
