“Ever since first encountering Gandorfer’s exorbitantly novel concept, I have been encountering, designating, observing and expatiating upon matterphors and matterphorics in a constant rhythm of sensible ambulations, reveries, and cogitations. This magnificent neo-materialist work constantly brings us crashing back to ground zero.”—<b>Peter Goodrich</b>, author of, <i>Judicial Uses of Images: Vision in Decision</i><br /><br />“<i>Matterphorics</i> is an ambitious and exciting interdisciplinary book on the relationship between law, literature, theory, and the materiality of life. This is a scholar who has mastered a wide-ranging canon of political theory, philosophy, feminist studies, security studies, but also can discuss phenomena as diverse as nuclear fission and maritime law. An outstanding work.”—<b>Debarati Sanyal</b>, author of, <i>Arts of the Border: Fugitive Bodies at Europe's Edge</i>
