Abstract
The aim of this paper is to reflect the directions proposed by the new materialism’s theorists by revealing them in a field in which the new materialist perspective has not experienced the same emergence as in cultural studies or philosophy: literature, an area whose socio-cultural implication will enable the correlations with the art of performance. For this purpose, after a brief theoretical introduction, “hypothesis”, of the approach, whose role is in fact to clarify the ideas that the new materialism supports, we reveal a series of neo-materialist “contexts” in the literatures of Urmuz and Matei Vişniec, and in the performances of Marina Abramović, in which the hybridization of the human is the central aspect that allows to present neo-materialist perspective of the corpus.
