Description

Erin Manning's Always More Than One explores the concept of the "more than human" in movement, perception, and experience. Drawing on process philosophy and theory of individuation, she develops the idea of "choreographic thinking," which examines a mode of perception prior to established categories.

Manning connects this approach to the concept of "autistic perception," where individuals experience their environment as an interconnected field rather than distinct subjects and objects. She argues that this way of perceiving is fundamental to all awareness, and proposes an ecological politics that prioritizes movement and relation over predefined categories.

By embracing an ecological politics of collective individuation, Manning invites readers to reconsider the relationships between humans, nonhumans, and the environment. This thought-provoking work challenges readers to think differently about perception, experience, and our place within the world.
