Abstract

This commentary reflects upon the utility of the granular for bringing new materialists’ concerns for materiality into dialogue with historical materialists’ concerns for the historical power relations through which social phenomena emerge. I argue that the granular offers a promising vocabulary for bridging these interests, but suggest that further work is now needed to demonstrate how the granular can reconcile new materialists’ insistence on creative vitality with Marxian historical materialism.
