Putting the New Materialist figure of diffraction to use in a set of readings  in which cultural texts are materially read against their contents and their themes, against their readers or against other texts  this volume proposes a criticalintervention into the practice of reading itself. In this book, reading and reading methodology are probed for their materiality and re-considered as being inevitably suspended between, or diffracted with, both matter and discourse. The history of literary and cultural reading, including poststructuralism and critical theory, is revisited in a new light and opened-up for a future in which the world and reading are no longer regarded as conveniently separate spheres, but recognized as deeply entangled and intertwined.

Diffractive Reading ultimately represents a new reading of reading itself: firstly by critiquing the distanced perspective of critical paradigms such as translation and intertextuality, in which texts encountered, processed or otherwise subdued  secondly, showing how all literary and cultural readings represent different agential cuts in the world-text-reader constellation, which is always both discursive and material  and thirdly, the volume materializes, dynamizes and politicizes the activity of reading by drawing attention to readings intervention in, and (co)creation of, the world in which we live.
