Going Deeper into Antenarrative Processes

It takes some training to begin to analyze antenarrative processes, though they are already there, pre-constitutive stuff of which narrative and living story are crafted.

These are the seven processes.

Working in the relational-process-ontology of antenarratives, you can make important connections to Heidegger’s work. I am currently going through the History of Time book, and sorting out ways ‘fore’ (already-there) relations to antenarrative process analysis.

What is the “Who” of Antenarrative Processes?

In the onto-story (Jane Bennett, 2010 Vibrant Matter book, p. 4) there is description of an image of five things she sees together, in the gutter outside Sam’s Bagel shop.

What is interesting in antenarrative processes, is each of the together-things is in relationship to one another. There is a quantum storytelling energy field of human-made things and organic things, that calls out about missing partners. The rat has its community, the left-handed glove has a missing right-handed glove. The smooth twig is missing its tree. The pollen-mat is missing its growing place. And the plastic bottle cap is missing its plastic bottle. Where are they spatially and temporally. They are in the already-there of SpaceTimeMattering.

I did some research to set out more of the context of the onto-story. There are two Sam’s Bagel locations in Baltimore. One is pictured and I found some of the worldhood potentiality-for-Being-a-Whole antenarrative process of SpaceTimeMattering.

We take our Self in relation to the Who (Anyone, Public, they-self) wherever we go, what ever we do. We carry that worldhood like Atlas in the about imagining of onto-story context, its worlding and unworlding.It takes lots of detective work, and a good deal of creative imagining to do antenarrative process analysis.
