Abstract

This article explores the ways new materialism centers the problem of morphogenesis-and de-centers language and culture-in philosophical accounts of corporeality. Attention to organic structures gives insight into the entanglement of nature and culture obscured by tendencies to think matter as lacking agential features. I suggest, in conclusion, that new materialism may operate with a notion of "entanglement"or "intra-activity"that is too productive. New materialisms may require a more pliable set of distinctions to capture the relations between morphogenetic forces.
