This international collection brings together arts-based researchers to explore how new materialisms have changed creative research practice. Grounded in a framework of affective and conceptual creativity, it makes existing and emerging pathways in research visible to challenge dualistic modes of thought-in-practice. With a focus on the methods employed by individual researchers, the coverage is interdisciplinary, including screen and sound production, dance, literary theory, social media, creative writing and community arts. The collection explores transformations in scholarly practice through methods of ‘crimping’ which reflect the 4 thematic sections: bending, joining, making waves and holding.
New Materialist Affirmations could not have arrived at a more timely juncture! Just when we need creative research interventions the most, the editors and many iconic contributors to this anthology provide guidance into feminist research creation and new materialist crimping philosophy in practice. This is a handy must-read today! -- Cecilia Åsberg, Linköping University, Sweden
This ambitious, eclectic collection brings together leading international researchers to expand the possibilities of feminist new materialist practices in thoughtful and playful ways. Through a new conceptualisation of methodological ‘crimping’, where research processes bend, join, hold together and make waves, contributors explore and set out new pathways for scholarship. -- Rebecca Coleman, University of Bristol
