Entanglement

Abstract

The agential realist notion of entanglement reconfigures the nature of causality and particularly the causal relationship between discursive practices and the material world. Materiality always already involves human discursive practices of boundary-making, territorial-ising and categorising the world in its ongoing reconfiguring. Discursive practices do not just stand for human-based practices. Challenging human exceptionalism, a material-discursive analysis does not erase the role of the human. Thinking with entanglements leads the reader to explore and experiment with ecologies, assemblages and non-human agencies in ways that trouble human-nonhuman, mind-body, self-world dualisms. Refusing to privilege vision over other senses in knowledge practices, she pays attention to “the traces, fragments, fleeting moments, gaps, absences, submerged narratives and displaced actors and agencies that register affectively”.
