– poaching from ethology, a field conventionally understood as \u201cthe study of animal behavior in a natural environment.\u201d
– queering science, the performative turn. possibly some clues on how to write this Multispecies Union<\/em> manifesto
– why the term nonhuman<\/em> emphasizes the binary too much; more-than-human world<\/em> also.
Multispecies world(ing<\/em>) does better.

Considerations and etymology of aesthetics (misunderstood as beauty and used as a tool of power), with regards to decay, compost.
Kant – “German \u00c4sthetik in the sense of a \u201cscience dealing with the principles of perception by the senses,\u201d returning to the roots and rhizomes of the word”<\/em> and “The original meanings of the word aesthetic are
relational, communicative, performative; to return to them is to queer several hundred years of capitalist commodification of the aesthetic experience. Aesthetic, as a verb and as a noun, parallels Barad\u2019s definition of Agency: a relational enactment rather than a quality that one passively has or observes.”<\/em>
“If we accept Barad’s thesis that phenomena\u00a0(including ourselves) are performatively created in the world’s
ongoing reconfiguration of itself, then it follows that our\u00a0experience of those phenomena (including ourselves) are also dynamically intra-active experiences.[x] Aesthetics are\u00a0intra-actively performative communications, a dynamic\u00a0dialogue of perceptions and responses.<\/em>“
Beuys’ Bog Action<\/em>
Bernie Krause’s biophilic listening, Pauline Olivieros’ deep listening<\/em>
Derrida: “The question of the said animal in its entirety\u00a0comes down to knowing not whether the animal speaks but whether one can know what ‘respond’ means. And how to\u00a0distinguish a response from a reaction.”

– What is poachable<\/em> here?
– Need research on the aesthetics of work, labor, production and what could be transposed or expanded to encompass a multispecies world
– Ideas about listening sessions, regenerative practices, a systems approach to worlding
– Research into accumulation, regeneration– how to generate a multispecies list of demands?
– to shed the yoke of capitalism, and restore our vitality
