New ontology and social ordering

Abstract

New ontology features the equivalence of the enacted subjects and objects for social agency as emerged morphological trans-mobilities elicit reinvention of social identities, conceived as the process of de-ascriptivization of ontological binaries that have conventionally constrained social ordering: (1) ‘visceral trans-mobility’, aimed at altering normative prescriptions associated with corporeal ontology (e.g. sex-, gender-, race passings); (2) ‘conversional trans-mobility’, removing the boundaries between life and death, physical and nonphysical ontology in various practices (from ‘virtual reality’ to clones); (3) ‘prosopopoeian trans-mobility’, aggregating the practices of exogenously transposing fundamentally nonsocial substances into actively enacted social co-agentives (from pets to robots). The main issue considered is how profound ontological morhogenesis interplays with social ordering. It is revealed that a mechanism of social ordering (named morphotaxis) is formed and continuously re-formed by deep misrecognition patterns (on emotional, moral and legal levels) sensitive to confusion of the three paramount binary distinctions – between (specific) human and-nonhuman, (sexual) male and female and (dimensional) living and the necro.
