Speculative tracing
Keywords:
recursivity, entanglement, perplexity, polyphony, differ, noiseAbstract
My aim in this text is to ask a classic question: what is called thinking? I shall be following the trail of a number of figures in the post-textual scene of theory: recursivity from Marilyn Strahern, entanglement from Donna Haraway, perplexity from Vinciane Despret, polyphony from Anna Tsing, differ from Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Martin Holbraad and Morten A. Pedersen, and noise from Elizabeth Povinelli. Each of these figures, without any hint of totality, suggests a specific way of understanding the task of thinking. Each of these figures is interrupted by questions that seek to disrupt any semblance of homogeneous continuity. The general aim of the text is simply to create a certain unease about the modes of theoretical practice.
