Nathan Brown - Canada Research Chair in Poetics / Assistant Professor of English, Concordia University

Brown's research moves between poetics, philosophy, and science/technology studies, investigating conceptual and material determinations of structure, form, and fabrication. Recently his published work has also focused on contemporary art, film, and communist theory. Nathan's research is oriented by a materialist approach to art, philosophy, and politics, as well as by attention to the technological mediation of thinking, writing, and art making.

His first book, The Limits of Fabrication: Materials Science, Materialist Poetics, and the Critique of Structural Idealism is forthcoming from Fordham University Press (2015). With Petar Milat, Brown is the editor of a special issue of Frakcija: Performing Arts Journal titled The Art of the Concept (2013). His articles have appeared in Radical Philosophy, Parresia, Mute, Qui Parle, Parallax, and How2, while book chapters have been published in The Speculative Turn (2010) and The Lure of Whitehead (2014).
