13. As I make clear elsewhere, my problem with 'new materialist' social ontologies lies less with the ontological assertions of complex social embeddedness and attention to the contingent nature of our social world, than with the normative philosophical, political and ethical conclusions derived from these understandings

22. This challenges the presumption of some new materialist or actor-network theorists that the more interconnectivity can be established, the greater the contingency of outcomes and the more even the distribution of agency. Resilience ethics understand connectivity as giving rise to the ethics of self-reflexivity precisely because agency remains unevenly distributed
