ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on approaches to bodies that start from the position that bodies are never singular. It explores the concept of becoming, which is a concept that moves beyond seeing bodies as fixed and closed to explore how they are produced and performed in specific ways. The chapter focuses particularly on the usefulness of the concepts of multiplicity, movement, articulation, process and enactment for understanding the production of bodies across different sites, locations and practices. Maxine Sheets-Johnston argues that the corporeal turn across the humanities (that is, the turn to the body and body theory) should be comprised of a particular kind of corporeal turn: that we should 'be mindful of movement'. For Sheets-Johnston, consciousness is always a corporeal or kinesthetic consciousness that is created through the movements of singular and multiple bodies through space and time. Therefore, to 'think the body' requires a 'thinking in movement'.
