Désinstaller, déstabiliser, désétablir
Dans cet extrait tiré de Unsettled (minor compositions, 2025), Erin Manning examine la manière dont les bases de données généalogiques au Québec ont ouvert la possibilité pour un nouveau genre d’occupation blanche : la pratique des « Prétendien·nes », des colons qui revendiquent une identité « métisse » basée sur des ancêtres autochtones remontant à la dixième génération (à des fins d’évasion fiscale et de droits de chasse) tout en conservant leu…
Nós Sabemos O Que Pode Um Corpo
Em entrevista, a artista e filósofa canadense Erin Manning situa a questão do corpo no âmbito de suas pesquisas, desde uma aproximação que privilegia a incorporação a partir de uma mirada pós-humanística e processual. Situado em uma ecologia de relações que lhe dá possibilidade, o corpo é pensado a partir do acontecimento e da dança da atenção que se desenrola entre ambos. O que emerge daí é uma análise relacional e atenta às forças mais-que-huma…
In Conversation With Erin Manning
This paper documents a conversation with Erin Manning in the first webinar of the series Doing Academica Differently: In conversation with Neuroatypicality. Drawing on her scholarship, teaching experience, as well as the more recent 3Ecologies project, Manning shows how systems serve to pathologize by framing difference from the angle of typicality and as a divergence from the norm. She argues, therefore, that it is necessary to move beyond the o…
O jardim especulativo
O Jardim Especulativo é um dos textos que compõem o livro Out of Clear, onde a filósofa, artista e ativista Erin Manning ensaia sobre os desafios e descobertas oriundos da instauração do 3Ecologies Institute, centro de pedagogias transversais, advindo do Sense Lab, sediado na vila de Saint-Anne du Lac, (Quebec, Canada). A partir dos aprendizados e caminhadas que incluem o plantio, manejo e a poda das árvores no 3E, a autora formula a noção de val…
Faire Oeuvre
A manifesto for practice (or, how practice animates thought, and thought practices)
Post Philosophies and the Doing of Inquiry Session 6
This article is derived from a webinar series conversation titled “Post Philosophies and the Doing of Inquiry.” How does your philosophical approach influence your ways of doing inquiry? What does this philosophical approach make thinkable or possible for inquiry? What are your perspectives on methodology(ies) and/or methods? How do you envision that in your approaches to doing inquiry? What mechanisms could be put in place at universities to hel…
Social Dreaming
What is activated at that joint where time is at once toofast and tooslow? What is felt? Propositions for Social Dreaming, a quilt-based project by Andrew Goodman and Erin Manning, explores this active interval of time in the making by inquiring into the dreams that fissure it. Thoughts swirl from algorithmic potential to the disorder of beds of unmade. Living otherwise is the problematic that moves the thinking, living in modes neurodiverse, in …
A Q&A with Erin Manning
The following exchange took place during the Question and Answer period following Erin Manning's (EM) talk, "The Untimely Impersonal." The talk was given digitally on 22 September 2021 as part of Relative Time/Little Time , a speaker series designed collaboratively by Dutch artist duo Bik Van der Pol and Mosaic . The Question and Answer session was moderated by Mosaic Editor Shepherd Steiner (SS
The Untimely Impersonal
The untimely impersonal moves at the pace of neurodiverse time. Neurodiverse time is time out of time, time devoid of executive function, time not only nonlinear but fundamentally ungraspable as a line or a block. Incalculable to its core, without a timeline, neurodiverse time is terrifying in its infradimensionality, exuberant in its yield. In this essay, my proposition is to take us on a journey through the constraints and conditions of the unt…

Radical Pedagogies and Metamodelings of Knowledge in the Making
In an echo of propositions for transdisciplinarity written by Guattari and Vilar in the 1960s, this piece turns around the question of radical pedagogy, transdisciplinarity and metamodelling. In so doing, it challenges normative modes of knowledge and makes a plea for neurodiverse and decolonial modes of living and learning

Practicing the Schizz
Toward a Politics of Immediation
A passage from Moten haunts the writing of these words that seek to push a politics of identity toward a politics of immediation. In a parenthetical aside in a paper on the city and the commune, Moten cautions us as regards the critique of identity politics. Too often, he writes, critiques of identity politics are waged against “non-white, non-straight, non-male identity [...] while courteously leaving politics to its own uncriticized devices” (M…

For a Pragmatics of the Useless, or the Value of the Infrathin
Marcel Duchamp describes the infrathin as “the most minute of intervals, or the slightest of differences.” Working through Duchamp’s proposition, and taking him at his work that the infrathin cannot be defined as such—“One can only give examples of it”—this article explores how the infrathin comes to expression and asks what a politics of the infrathin might look like. Key to the exploration is the question of how else value can be defined and ho…
The Minor Gesture
Por uma pragmática da inutilidade, ou o valor do inframince
Duchamp descreve o inframince2 como "o mais ínfimo dos intervalos, ou a mínima das diferenças" (DUCHAMP apud PERLOFF, 2002, p. 101). Tomando o trabalho e a proposição de Duchamp no sentido de que o inframince não pode ser descrito como tal - "dele só é possível dar exemplos" (DUCHAMP apud DE DUVE, 1991, p. 160) -, este artigo explora como ele chega à expressão e pergunta como seria uma política do inframince. Ponto chave dessa exploração é saber …
Another Regard
Erin Manning’s “Coda: Another Regard,” uses Whitehead’s notion of “concern” (as the description of the relation between object and subject) and the practice of counterpoint in dance to generate an alternative to identity politics in the theorization of gender, the animal, and disability. She uses encounters between Dawn Prince-Hughes, an autistic woman, and Kanzi, a captive gorilla, as her primary examples.
Thought in the Act
" "Every practice is a mode of thought, already in the act. To dance: a thinking in movement. To paint: a thinking through color. To perceive in the everyday: a thinking of the world's varied ways of affording itself." --from Thought in the Act Combining philosophy and aesthetics, Thought in the Act is a unique exploration of creative practice as a form of thinking. Challenging the common opposition between the conceptual and the aesthetic, Erin …
Wondering the World Directly - or, How Movement Outruns the Subject
Turning to the moment when phenomenology (Maurice Merleau-Ponty) meets process philosophy (Alfred North Whitehead), this article turns around three questions: (a) How does movement produce a body? (b) What kind of subject is introduced in the thought of Merleau-Ponty and how does this subject engage with or interfere with the activity here considered as 'body'? (c) What happens when phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty) meets process philosophy (Alfred N…

Always More than One
This article explores the idea that affect is collective. By emphasizing that affect does not rest in the individual, a theory of affect is foregrounded that is in conversation with Gilbert Simondon's concept of individuation, and, more specifically, the concept of the preindividual. The preindividual, in Simondon, is aligned with what Gilles Deleuze calls 'a life' - the force of living beyond life itself. This force of life, I suggest, is the re…
What if it Didn't All Begin and End with Containment? Toward a Leaky Sense of Self
In Esther Bick's psychoanalytic theory, the infant's relation to the world is mediated by the skin's capacity to serve as a container for experience. As the infant develops, containment increasingly expresses cohesion of self, as fostered by the continued interaction with the caretaker. Through an emphasis on particular forms of interaction - forms that specifically involve skin-to-skin touch - an infant is given the receptacle necessary for even…

The Shape of Enthusiasm
Taking the Next Step
In his well-known book Awakenings, Oliver Sacks introduces us to the remarkable patients he met at Mount Carmel Hospital in the 1960s. These patients suffer from Encephalitis Lethargica, a disorder that leaves them with catatonia-like symptoms. When "activated" by L-DOPA, these patients are finally capable of articulating the strange "comatose-like" state they have sometimes inhabited for as many as forty years. This paper takes Sacks's work as i…

Fiery, Luminous, Scary
Fiery, Luminous, Scary Erin Manning (bio) A call for a participatory art event often entails the invitation to touch. This may involve an actual direct touching (“touch this lever, this button and it will cause a change in the environment”), or it may involve a more elusive call to touch that includes being moved by a work in transformation. Either way, the call to touch is a demand: it asks the participant to relate, in this time of interaction,…

Politics of Touch
Political philosophy has long been bound by traditional thinking about the body. Through an engagement with the state-centered vocabulary of this discipline, Politics of Touch examines the ways in which bodies continually run up against existing political structures. In this groundbreaking work, Erin Manning reconsiders how politics attempts to paralyze the body through the idea of the national body politic. In Politics of Touch, Manning develops…

Coloring the Virtual
Jim Campbell's sculptural installations and filmic images have pioneered new ways of looking: the closer you get to the images, the more intangible they become. The more you perceive their moving-stillness, the more they move you. This essay explores how Campbell's work creates propositions for vision that alter not only how an image is seen in its framed stability, but how the instability of its composition occasions kinesthetic experience, acti…
