Abstract
The argument behind our introductory essay, as well as behind our special issue of the Metacritic Journal for Comparative Studies and Theory, is that the human can emerge as part of the texture of the world only by being reminded of and by objects, that is, only by engaging in a dialogue with them, by recognising both their strangeness and their familiarity, by conferring upon them the distinction of containing the traces and archives of individual and collective history. We examine the turn towards things enacted by recent critical and artistic trends as a complex amalgam of de-anthropocentrising modes recalibrating experience under the pressure of imminent extinction (of humans, animals, inanimate objects) which produces a new imperative of togetherness by excavating the memory of our shared materiality.
我们的介绍性文章，以及我们的Metacritic Journal for Comparative Studies and Theory特刊背后的论点是，只有通过被物体提醒和提醒，人类才能成为世界结构的一部分，也就是说，只有通过与它们对话，通过认识到它们的陌生和熟悉，通过赋予它们包含个人和集体历史的痕迹和档案的区别。我们审视了由最近的批判和艺术趋势所制定的转向事物的趋势，将其作为一种复杂的去人类中心化模式的混合体，在即将灭绝的压力下(人类、动物、无生命物体)重新校准经验，通过挖掘我们共同物质的记忆，产生了一种新的团结的必要性。
