Neomaterialism explores the meaning of the world of commodities, and reintroduces various notions of dialectical materialism into the conversation on the subjectivity and vitalism of things. Here, Simon advocates for the unreadymade, sentimental value, and the promise of the dividual as a means for a vocabulary in this new economy of meaning.
Reflecting on general intellect as labor and the subjugation of an overqualified generation to the neofeudal order of debt finance--with a particular focus on dispossession and rent economy, post-appropriation display strategies and negation, the barricade and capital's technocratic fascisms--Neomaterialism merges traditions of epic communism with the communism that is already here.
