Resumen de Sociomateriality and the agency of objects/things in education: review

Patrícia Silva

  • Sociomaterialism emphasizes the material nature of human interactions with objects/things, noting that they have agency, and thus become phenomena to be investigated critically. In this review article, we will be committed to aggregate objects/things in order to question the presuppositions of Humanism and to understand the effects that will result in this association between humans and nonhumans in the educational space from the agency of objects/things. When we bring up the question of nonhuman agency, we are considering that these objects/things are vital to success in the process of knowing. We need to reflect that the human and nonhuman dichotomy can not be suppressive, because individuals/objects/things form a complete whole, or rather an interacting association, where everything and everyone compromises. The contribution of this article to the educational area is to think of a theory that observes the action of the object/thing in the human, and that, that human also acts on the object/ thing, printing the same function, the same charge at the moment of action, and this seems quite timely in current studies in education, is a way of studying what we can not ‘see’ (which seems to scare human supremacy), is the need to rethink the environment in which we live and ourselves from a reticular perspective and not oppositional.
