| Long abstract | Recent new realist theories intend to respect objects by leaving them to their own “weird” ways.1 However, in seeking to rethink how objects access each other, and how humans have access to the world, these philosophies consistently center on ques-tions of having access to things or, put simply, having them.2Ultimately, there is something perversely exotic about objects framed, through the language of object-orientation, as a form of alterity that is meant to be had even if from afar. This dynamic carries sexual undertones and is entangled in objectification and reification. Any fetishist will attest that weirdness can be sexy, and this holds true, it would appear, even in philosophy. Whether or not one chooses to read terms like allure and with-drawal as flirtatious or frigid, attributing distant availability to objects produces what I call an exoticism of objects. As we will see, this exoticism troubles economies of access and having, which I contend are foundational for new realist philosophies. |
