Material Engagement Theory (MET) while clarifying the phenomenon of "linguistic denotation'. In so doing, it critiques orthodox approaches to language which trace denotation to abstract meanings and/or mental representations. The article shows how the denotative aspects of language can be cashed out in non-representational terms and, furthermore, that the interrelation of denotation and materiality is crucial to human material culture in that it allows for material engagements to transcend localised contexts. These engagements become global in Latour's sense and, in so doing, denotation ceases to demand descriptions in terms of representations." /> But language too is material! - Gahrn-Andersen Rasmus | sdvig press
