The proliferation of studies bearing on the intellectual movement known as the "new materialisms" evinces that a material turn is becoming an important paradigm in environmental humanities. Ranging from social and science studies, feminism, to anthropology, geography, environmental philosophies and animal studies, this approach is bringing innovative ways of considering matter and material relations that, coupled with reflections on agency, text, and narrativity, are going to impact ecocriticism in an unprecedented way. In consideration of the relevance of this debate, we would like to draw for Ecozon@'s readers an introductory map of the new paradigm and introduce what can be called "material ecocriticism." We will illustrate what we consider to be its main features, situating them in the conceptual horizons of the new materialisms. From this genealogical sketch, we will examine the re-definitions of concepts like matter, agency, discursivity, and intentionality, with regard to their effects on ecocriticism and in terms of their ethical perspectives. Resumen La proliferacion de estudios procedentes del movimiento intelectual conocido bajo la rubrica de "nuevos materialismos" pone de manifiesto que la materia esta influyendo en el giro paradigmatico de los recientes estudios medioambientales en el ambito de las Humanidades. Desde los estudios cientificos y sociales al feminismo, la antropologia, la geografia, pasando por los estudios sobre animales y las filosofias del medio ambiente,  este enfoque incorpora formas innovadoras de aproximarse a la materia y a las relaciones materiales que, acompanadas de reflexiones sobre la agencia o capacidad de accion, el texto y la narracion, van a producir un impacto considerable y sin precedentes en la ecocritica.   En consideracion a la relevancia de este debate queremos ofrecer a los lectores de Ecozon@ un mapa introductorio a este nuevo paradigma. En el presente articulo trataremos las que consideramos son las caracteristicas fundamentales de la ecocritica de la materia y las situaremos en el horizonte conceptual de los nuevos materialismos. A partir de este esbozo genealogico, examinaremos las redefiniciones de conceptos como materia, agencia en tanto capacidad de accion, discursividad e intencionalidad y las  relacionaremos con sus efectos en la ecocritica y en la etica.
