Overview of lexicon of Becomings
Ontological hybridism
Bodies of matter—objects and flesh—in their different registers of ontology, co-habituating whilst performing their agencies individually and in relation with one another to per/form a mixture or hybrid of different ontologies of different bodies.It fosters the emergence of hybrid subjectivity/ies of the multitudinous body.
Dialogic Relations
Relations with objects where affect and transformations of each other are regarded as embodied, tactile and perceptive modes of communication.
​
A re-working of Bakhtin’s ‘dialogic relations’: linguistics and verbal communication between self and other.
Nomadism
Constructing paths of relations (routes) for navigating the assemblage.
Bodies and subjectivities are considered as always shifting and being affected, traversing through material engagement, where bodies are interim homes for one another. One yet many, multitudinous body emerges.
Matrix
Set of conditions for the performance where bodies come together to make something happen, to grow, shift, affect, develop and modify the bodies in relation. It sets the ecology of the performance which is attending to the flows of co-habituating and intra-acting matter.
Graftification
Method of interfusing interventions and bodies of matter in an assemblage.
Think of the horticulture practice of ‘grafting’ where by tissues of plants are joined to grow together.
Object decolonisation
A de-territorialising practice of withdrawing human power/domination over objects to combat neo-colonial politics of invisible power relations that enhance human exceptionalism.
These power relations result in cultural and material notions of separation and territorialisation of bodies other than human.
