However, as Bordo herself notes, the problem with the adoption of postmodern ideas in general is that they have led some writers to disregard the materiality of power relations.

Lastly, once the games are packed in (and I’ve double check their contents!), I individually number each box.
I like to hope this makes the game feel special in a particularly indie way. Messiness, materiality, and handmade feel is our power in this space.

Magic is not part of me
It is every molecule,
holding together higher intent
stars and moonlight exhale potency
spells, incantations, hidden divinations
flicker in malleable materiality.
Living Earth, patiently moves through rotations,
inhales stardust.
In darkness, creation recycles.
Magic is all.

Agree James. I witnessed the “materiality” threshold shenanigans many times. They cross their fingers that it doesn’t become material in the future when it’s too late.

8/10 Science, in this view, isn’t discovering “dead matter” but tracing genealogies of the real - evolution, geology, cosmology as immanent processes, not external laws. The archifossil is a trace of this creative materiality.

The shifting sands of the world... show how much the surrealists were drawn towards an interrogation of what reality actually is. Unlike fabulists of whatever hue, there is a materiality in surrealist writing that resolutely keeps it, one might say, 'down to earth'.

Indeed it's 'more trouble every day' for the prosecution. Definitely an informative read, although it would benefit from an upfront spoiler alert that the author's already made the compelling, overriding argument that the case fatally fails on materiality grounds.

I was never huge on brutalism but I do like the way it lives in some ways. The execution is so very important. The materiality is the design. The form is the art. The isolation is the inspiration... Modern Opacity with strategic natural injection.
The whole thing is exquisite ribbed (for your pleasure) concrete. Yet it’s soft and quiet, a moon safari in the sky. Hotel Bonaventure. Built above the rail lines even. Canada: once great.

MÖRK BORG is McLuhan's "medium is the message" exemplified. It not only captured the aesthetics and ethos of "extreme" metal, but made them part of a TTRPG experience. The eyebleed splatter of its layout and art, materiality as part of the statement, demands that you own this as a physical object.
When MÖRK BORG appeared in 2020, it looked like a black metal album that had been accidentally printed in the games section.
A yellow spot that lit up the shelf.
MÖRK BORG was ugly, dirty, and evil.
And yellow.
