Shifting from within: Boundary making in the Fragility of Presence<\/em>:<\/strong>
\nThis proposal continues my research of the memacism<\/em> project through a diffractive reading of A.No\u00eb\u2019s sensorimotor based enactivism as applied in his recent text \u2018Concept Pluralism, Direct Perception and the Fragility of Presence\u2019 and the subsequent commentary, developed on an social-enactivism account, by M. Kyselo1<\/sup> with feminist readings of K.Barad\u2019s Agential Realism as introduced by R.Coleman and P.Hinton2<\/sup> among others.<\/p>\n

The latter feminist new-materialist perspective regards subjectivity as dispersed and interwoven defining bodies as objects of knowledge, which are intra-actively involved in the bringing forth of meaning, though not because \u2018we do the choosing [..] but because we are an agential part of the material becoming\u20193<\/sup>. Defining body\/matter as having an \u2018active role in the generation of perceptual meaning\u20194<\/sup> and not merely as containers of mediation challenges definitions of a representational rational that is performed by a solitarily existing conscious mind.

Such concepts, while marked as fragile, define a critical point, which I would like to approach under the aspects of performativity in exploring R.Coleman\u2019s argument that \u2018culture and materiality have reciprocal agentive effects upon one another\u2019.7<\/sup> <\/p>\n

With reference to K.Barad\u2019s concept of exteriority-within-phenomena<\/em>8<\/sup> I assume established boundaries as the one between nature\/culture not as fixed, but rather as shifting from within9<\/sup> \u2013 an iterative intra-active process that also affects the concepts of a conscious mind.<\/p>\n
