Resumen

Este artículo propone una discusión sobre la teoría del nuevo materialismo entendido por Iris van der Tuin conjuntamente con la teoría del realismo agencial de Karen Barad. El principal objetivo de este enfoque es encontrar prácticas diferenciales que ayuden a construir un giro hacia lo que se denomina ontología relacional, en la cual ética, epistemología, ontología y metodología se entienden como inseparables. Este nuevo paradigma transversal genera genealogías de filosofías minoritarias y teorías feministas para entender la materia como un entrelazamiento dinámico, agencial y relacional donde prácticas humanas y no humanas intraaccionan de una manera igualitaria. Así pues, el nuevo materialismo y el realismo agencial producen un punto de partida diferente parar generar conocimiento que, en lugar de pensar a través de entidades claramente diferenciadas, parten de estas relaciones como procesos dinámicos inseparables. Además de ofrecer un acercamiento a la materia como agente activo, estas teorías se amparan en un enfoque afirmativo del proceso de construcción teórica, alteran la noción clásica de linealidad y se alejan de binarios dicotómicos.
