Considerations on New Materialist and Posthuman Agendas in Biographical Studies

Jukka Sarjala

Abstract

Following new materialist and posthuman agendas, this article deals with the concept of individuation (Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze) as a methodological resource for biographical studies and historical scholarship at large. It maps premises for the non-anthropocentric scrutiny of and reflection on individual human activities and focuses on the unexpectedness which is constituted in the material interactions and entanglements of everyday life.
