Multispecies
(combining form)
Queer causality, disruption of dis/continuity, a disruption so destabilizing, so downright dizzying, that it is difficult to believe that it is that which makes for the stability of existence itself. Multispecies are not the interconnectedness of things or events separated in space and time. They are enfoldings of spacetimematterings. They are “Becomings”—new kinds of relations emerging from nonhierarchical alliances, symbiotic attachments, and the mingling of creative agents.
