Speculative realism/speculative materialism - second annual report.
























Friday 24th April 2009 University of West England, Bristol, St Matthias Campus UK.
  • Ray Brassier
  • Iain Hamilton Grant
  • Graham Harman
  • Quentin Meillassoux
From Daily Humiliation. More information to follow no doubt, but interesting name change indicative perhaps (given some of Graham Harman's comments on the "umbrella term" that isn't a movement) of some clarifications of positions. Meillassoux himself of course seems happier with materialism rather than realism, in his case a materialism based upon the "meaningless symbols" of mathematics. Brassier and Harman we might consider to be definite realists (though the former definitively more eliminitavist than the latter).

It is a striking resemblance to the famous scene from John Woo's wonderful "A Better Tomorrow II":

I sense the need for a SR poster. As one reviewer of the film writes..."Unbelievable plot saved by the greatest action finale ever filmed..."
