Collaborative Writing as Syncopated Inquiry: The Necessity of Unnecessary Texts, Decolonial Humour, and the Undoing of Method

Power is always at play as wor(l)ds make themselves: Mutterings mattering in a political ontology. Here, desire pulls-pushes us as experimentation in pluriversal worlds: where wor(l)ds constitute each other, clash, combine, and morph. We, as people yet to come, find ourselves at the edge of possible wor(l)ds. We play with agency, (onto)politics, colonialisms – awfully serious stuff – but also humour. We do this in the context of social↔environmental justice – understood and performed through off-beat collaborative writing – as a way to unsettle our own assumptions and reach those also wondering at the junctures of wor(l)ds.
