"Agential intra-actions are causal enactments."

It is the enactment of iterative changes to particular practices – interative reconfigurings of topological manifolds of spacetimematter relations – through the dynamics of intra-activity." (p. 178). Like Braidotti, Barad's position also argues that in and through the entanglements of matter, agency also refers us to the "possibilities for worldly re-configurings" (Barad, 2012, p. 55). + </section> + <section id="tree of significance"> + <h4>SYNONYM:</h4> power, instrumentality, entanglement, matter, actant. +<h4>ANTONYM:</h4>impotence, oppression, causality. +<h4>HYPERNYM:</h4> ethics, politics, new materialism, assemblage, information. +<h4>HYPONYM:</h4> matter, object, thing, body, infrastructure, informatics. + +</section> + <section id="resistance"> + Agency being both a political and a relational concept it can be activated in political terms if all its constituent are in a moving relational scheme of discreet materials. + +</section> +<section> Tim Ingold argues: "things are active not because they are imbued with agency but because of ways in which they are caught up in these currents of the lifeworld.
