SHIFTING PERSPEKTIVES – EXPLORING THE UNKOWN:1 Introduction 2 Collectivity and the politics of participation 3 Imploding the More-Than-Human here and now 4 The More-Than-Human is not only here and not only now 5 Resisting the spell of words Acknowledgements References ; More-than-human design endeavours are expressions of a crisis of design amidst far wider onto-epistemological tensions. While driven by a desire to create alternatives to the Western dualist ontology of separation that finds its roots in the modern/colonial project, uncritically adopting posthuman concepts and vocabularies into design practices risks reinforcing the very logics it aims to challenge. Do nonhumans do, or are they made to do? This paper does not focus on how to design with nonhumans but instead explores whether terms like ‹multispecies collaboration› and ‹more-than-human collective› accurately describe these relationships. To this end, it examines power dynamics within more-than-human design experiments, emphasising the importance of addressing issues of provenance, consent, and labour. Attending to these concerns and refraining from assumptions of collectivity in more-than-human design activities may help prevent the theory from fully collapsing in practice.:1 Introduction 2 Collectivity and the politics of participation 3 Imploding the More-Than-Human here and now 4 The More-Than-Human is not only here and not only now 5 Resisting the spell of words Acknowledgements References
