ABSTRACT

This affective response is an exploration of the posthumanist author body circling around the key notions of the three papers: abduction, body, and waste. The unintended distractions to writing this response are taken as manifestations of the author body at work. The three original chapters are incorporated in the author body among other things and beings, exploring how the thinking, reading, and writing body is not only an individual, nor is it a collection of human bodies. In conclusion, rather than teachable, posthuman literacies are understood as ongoing, randomly organizing systems in which one participates.
