  “The body is always in-the-making; it is always a vital entanglement of heterogenous scales, times, and kinds of beings webbed into fleshly presence, always becoming, always constituted in relating.”  Donna Haraway, When Species Meet

  “To come to accept the body’s unmaking, I need to re-member its becoming. I need to recognize all the members, animate and inanimate, that make up the knot of a particular life.” Donna Haraway, When Species Meet
