(Bateson)• ‘It is not so much that organisms are not alive, but that life can be articulated in all things’. (Dema)The capitalist production of subjectivity • The capitalist production of subjectivity leads many of us to believe we act alone and are individually responsible for our compulsions but as Jane Bennett reminds us, • ‘the locus of political responsibility is a human-nonhuman assemblage’ which ‘presents individuals as simply incapable of bearing full responsibility for their effects’ and so ‘the ethical responsibility of an individual human now resides in one’s response to the assemblage in which one finds oneself participating’.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhtTjkpQwF0 – see Dr Haydon Mort
