the open whole human nonhuman Relationality in carlos reygadas neo surrealist post tenebras lux 2012
Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies, 2017Co-Authors: Lucy BollingtonAbstract:AbstractThis article reads Carlos Reygadas’ neo-surrealist film Post Tenebras Lux in dialogue with Eduardo Kohn’s anthropological text How Forests Think: An Anthropology beyond the Human in order to interrogate the human-nonhuman Relationality that characterizes Reygadas’ filmmaking. I examine the ways Reygadas’ and Kohn’s works intersect around themes of semiosis, dreamscapes, death and the relationship between nonhuman worlds and precarious categories of human life. My analysis also attends to the surrealistic elements and antecedents that shape human-nonhuman Relationality in Post Tenebras Lux, with particular reference to surrealist celebrations of oneiric spaces and appeals to the reenchantment of a world darkened by reason. My argument is twofold: I demonstrate that, in the surrealist tradition, Reygadas opens up the human to nonhuman ontologies as a means of challenging the legacy of restrictive, rationalistic thought; and in doing so, his film implicitly foregrounds an ‘open’ form of posthumanism,...

‘The Open Whole’: Human-Nonhuman Relationality in Carlos Reygadas' Neo-Surrealist Post Tenebras Lux (2012)*

The ‘problem’ of undesigned Relationality: Ethnographic fieldwork, dual roles and research ethics:
Ethnography, 2018Co-Authors: Kirsten BellAbstract:Perhaps the most unique feature of ethnographic fieldwork is the distinctive form of Relationality it entails, where the ethnographer's identity as a researcher is not fixed in the way typical of most other forms of research. In this paper, I explore how this ‘undesigned Relationality’ is understood, both in procedural ethics frameworks and by the different disciplines that have come to claim a stake in the ‘method’ itself. Demonstrating that the ethical issues it entails are primarily conceptualized via the lens of the ‘dual role’, I use this as a means of exploring the ideal relationship between researcher and subject that procedural ethics frameworks are premised upon. I go on to explore the epistemological differences in ways that ethnographers themselves understand and respond to the multiple forms of Relationality that characterize fieldwork and the challenge this poses to the possibility of a pan-disciplinary consensus on ethnographic research ethics.

social theory as a thinking tool for empathic design
Design Issues, 2012Co-Authors: Carolien Postma, Kristina Lauche, Pieter Jan StappersAbstract:Introduction Recent societal issues and socio-technological developments, including the mass adoption of real-time social media services,1 have made “the social” (i.e., the Relationality inherent in human existence) an essential topic for design. Despite the fundamentally social nature of life, most existing models intended to generate perspectives of users in design still focus on the individual. To support designers in doing empathic design, we set out to find a possible conceptual framework that could serve as a “thinking tool” of the social. A model that sensitizes designers toward both Relationality and individuality in building creative understanding of users for design. In this paper, we review a number of possible frameworks and describe our experiences in applying these frameworks in new product development (NPD) practice.

power agency Relationality and welfare practice
Journal of Social Policy, 2015Co-Authors: Rachael DobsonAbstract:This article argues that constructions of social phenomena in social policy and welfare scholarship think about the subjects and objects of welfare practice in essentialising ways, with negativistic effects for practitioners working in ‘regulatory’ contexts such as housing and homelessness practice. It builds into debates about power, agency, social policy and welfare by bringing psychosocial and feminist theorisations of Relationality to practice research. It claims that relational approaches provide a starting point for the analysis of empirical practice data, by working through the relationship between the individual and the social via an ontological unpicking and revisioning of practitioners' social worlds.

Representation as practice: agency and Relationality in transnational civil society
Journal of International Relations and Development, 2020Co-Authors: Henrike KnappeAbstract:This paper argues that political representation in transnational civil society networks needs to be investigated as practice with regard to its flexibility, Relationality and dialogical agency. Analysis of transnational representation from a practice-theoretical perspective can facilitate a better understanding of the actual representation practices of civil society actors in a transnational setting. The question raised is this: how do representation practices ensue, change or shift within the broader structures in which they are embedded? By focusing on flexibility, Relationality and dialogical agency as the key theoretical concepts for representation practice, this study delves deeper into those aspects through empirical analysis of qualitative interviews with activists from two major transnational civil society networks: the Clean Clothes Campaign and Friends of the Earth. The study finds that transnational representation in civil society networks evolves in a non-linear fashion, is characterised by shifting agency, discursive claims and a disembodiment of representation. The paper concludes with a discussion of how future research can pursue such critical engagement without falling back into standard, static notions of political representation.
