Experimental Practice Technoscience, Alterontologies, and More-Than-Social Movements

"Offering a mix of keen insights . . . Experimental Practice is a book that will be valuable to academics who share the author's questions and frame of reference." - DJ Mattingly (Choice) "Excellent. . . . Experimental Futures pulls together in endlessly inspiring fashion many concepts and ideas that have been to the forefront of engaged scholarship in geography." - Patrick Bresnihan (Antipode) "Experimental Practice is a thorough and practical account of how matter matters, and how we can bring the non-human or more-than-human world into our political calculus and convincingly sets out a case for experimental practices." - Nicholas Beuret (Sociological Review) "The range of case studies that is presented - from AIDS activism, to HSBC advertising campaigns, to the Struggle for Calais - helps to ground Papadopoulos's theoretical arguments, and to moderate some of the creative licence that comes from his writing of 'social science fiction.' . . . Consistently and provocatively argues for a reimagination of socio-political organisation and justice in/and the world." - Orlando Woods (Social & Cultural Geography) "Experimental Practice takes a step forward in challenging the 'social' in Social Movement Studies by exploring the long ignored post-human entanglements of social movements. This original lens provides an important insight for scholars concerned with emancipatory struggles by foregrounding the interdependence of social-movements with their environment, and thus reconceptualizing political autonomy as the ability to remain open and to engage in transformative connections with a multiplicity of human and non-human actors." - Álvaro Ramírez March (Social Movement Studies)
