These narratives claim that those theories that privilege the discursive and cultural analysis –like feminist and queer theory– are problematic because they overestimate the role of language at the same time that they misinterpret the nature of matter. This article examines the textual mechanisms that are used to legitimizes these new intellectual communities by exaggerating the evils of the past. What I will try to show is that, in order to do this, these narratives deploy a set of narrative vices and conceptual problems that this paper seeks to discuss.  El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el modo en que el nuevo materialismo y el giro afectivo dan cuenta de su propio surgimiento en una serie de relatos fundacionales que toman como antagonista principal al giro lingüístico y/o al construccionismo social. En estas narraciones se sostiene que el problema de las teorías que privilegian al análisis discursivo y cultural –entre las que se suele incluir a la teoría feminista y queer– es que sobrestiman la importancia del lenguaje al mismo tiempo que malinterpretan la naturaleza de la materia. Este artículo examina los mecanismos textuales que permiten legitimar estas nuevas comunidades intelectuales a partir del distanciamiento y la exageración de los males del pasado. Lo que se intentará demostrar es que, para lograr su cometido, estos relatos despliegan una serie de vicios narrativos y problemas conceptuales que el presente escrito pretende discutir.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/6117 10.34096/cf.n69.6117 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/6117/5405 Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 69 (2017); 87-103 2362-485X 0590-1901 new materialism affective turn linguistic turn social construction feminist theory nuevo materialismo giro afectivo giro lingüístico construcción social teoría feminista Stories about the Emergence of the Affective Turn and New Materialism: Is the Linguistic Turn Exhausted?
