TY - JOUR AU - Hunt, Richard AB - Book Reviews 185 propose “choratic reading” as a means for understanding the existence and circulation of objects within a dynamic relational space (207–209), Bennett enacts a return of sorts to the beginning of the book by detail- ing the lineage of the nonhuman turn—its relation to object-oriented ontology, speculative realism, historical materialism, and other vital materialisms—before expanding into a critique of Graham Harman’s and Morton’s rejections of relationality. In closing, Bennett turns to lit- erature as an example of a special text-body that exists in relation to one another and the human subject, and teaches the importance of liv- ing without malice towards humans and nonhumans alike. As we contemplate the relevance of the humanities in the twenty- first century, The Nonhuman Turn offers a valuable, if provocative, di- rection to pursue—question the “human” in the humanities.
