![]() ![]() ![]() Mattering is differentiating, and which differences come to matter, matter in the iterative production of different differences. Matter is agentive, not a fixed essence or property of things. Matter is produced and productive, generated and generative. Matter: it is neither fixed and given nor the mere end result of different processes. Posthumanism: it marks the practice of accounting for the boundary-making practices by which the “human” and its others are differentially delineated and defined it refuses the idea of a natural division between nature and culture. Agential intra-actions are specific causal material enactments that may or may not involve “humans.” ![]() Intra-actions instead of interactions: relata do not preexist but emerge through specific intra-actions. Reality: it is composed not of things-in-themselves or things-behind-phenomena but of things-in-phenomena. Phenomena: the primary ontological unit as in the differential patters of mattering the ontological inseparability, or entanglement of intra-acting agencies they are not produced in a lab and engineered by humans but through complex agential intra-actions of multiple material-discursive practices or apparatuses of bodily production. ![]()
