Generative/Emergent/Influences : The vibrancy and effectivity of nonhuman bodies, forces and flows/Jane Bennett

Mimesis : Paradox or Encounter

Jane Bennett. 2018

Everything changes. It is not that everything is always at the precipice of dissolution, but that every thing is changing in relations with oth­ers—at speeds that are sometimes slow and gradual and sometimes fast and overwhelming. This is the fate of mimetic bodies, human or not.

Every act of artistic mimesis will differ from all blueprints and inspirational ideas and  dreams,  insofar as the creative process always differs from itself as it proceeds. Process or new materialist philosophy also  rejects—or perhaps the better verb  here is elides—the model of the autonomous human  agent,  highlighting  instead  the vibrancy  and effectivity of nonhuman bodies, forces, and flows and the ways in which human agency is itself enabled and constrained by them.
