Abstract
The proposal aims to address the questions of relations between materiality and social and communitarian dynamics. Processes of dematerialization in the contemporary world are taken in order to oppose the material and the immaterial which eventually reproduces the divide between mind and body. The proposal pays attention to the latest developments in material culture studies and neo-materialism in order to rethinking new forms of politics and citizen participation. It is necessary to take into account the presence, the active participation of things, artefacts, materials and non-human forces in political thought, practice, and event. In the context of the debate on materiality questions arise on non-human agencies and political ecologies that reformulate questions about representation, emancipation, and politicization of public space and public sphere.
