Summary:Braun identifies and evaluates some of the most recent developments in how geographers have sought to make sense of the materiality of human and non-human life (including the many technological objects that help constitute both). Rather than make the case again for a relational ontology, he is concerned with parsing differences among the competing non-dualistic paradigms that now populate the field, with a particular focus on work that emphasizes the inventiveness of life, along with the methodological, ethical and political challenges that accompany such work.
