ABSTRACT
In this chapter, Spry argues that a posthuman performative autoethnography strives to articulate the ineffable entanglements of matterphor, to track a kind of copresence where something else about who we are as worldly actants becomes known. This essay teases out the term “matterphor” in the contexts of performance and performative autoethnography with particular focus on body, word, and thing to activate studies in materialism, vital materialities, and engagement with nonhuman others.
