This special issue has been elaborated mostly with communications presented at the V New Materialist Conference on the 25th and 26th of September 2014, in Barcelona. Hosted by the Interdisciplinary Internet Institute at the Open University of Catalonia, this event was also the kick-off conference of the COST Action 1307: “New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on How matter comes to matter” and organized by the GENTIC research group in collaboration with many different European universities. Entitled “New Materialist Methodologies: Gender, Politics, the Digital”, the conference has been a highly productive moment of intellectual contribution of ideas and content-wise papers around gender, methodologies, politics and digital cultures from a new materialist framework. The papers in this issue constitute a sample of very insightful approaches coming from various areas within the conference themes.
