Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of Nature and Culture has been published by Berghahn Journals. This special issue is motivated by the question of why materiality is so difficult to deal with in terms of research methods. As a whole, the contributions illustrate the variety of research problems in the social sciences to which material agency matters, as well as the methodological challenges included in the empirical investigation of things.
