- Abstract:
- This essay ruminates the ethics of a co-implicated, bounded dependence between objects (human and otherwise) that are always in some sense withdrawing from each other but also always together in a some-place labeled "here": the world (where no Absolute or Outside vantage point is possible or habitable). This essay also considers the possibility, through literary studies, of building more capacious networks of more affectively companionable sentience (with texts seen as actants that possess sentience and what Jane Bennett calls "vibrant materiality").
