In influx & efflux Jane Bennett pursues a question that was
bracketed in her book Vibrant Matter: how to think about human
agency in a world teeming with powerful nonhuman influences?
"Influx & efflux"-a phrase borrowed from Whitman's "Song of
Myself"-refers to everyday movements whereby outside influences
enter bodies, infuse and confuse their organization, and then exit,
themselves having been transformed into something new. How to
describe the human efforts involved in that process? What kinds of
"I" and "we" can live well and act effectively in a world of so
many other lively materialities? Drawing upon Whitman, Thoreau,
Caillois, Whitehead, and other poetic writers, Bennett links a
nonanthropocentric model of self to a radically egalitarian
pluralism and also to a syntax and style of writing appropriate to
the entangled world in which we live. The book tries to enact the
uncanny process by which we "write up" influences that pervade,
enable, and disrupt us.
