Abstract: Abstract In contemporary society, the figure of the social individual is no longer compact nor exclusively centered on the human entity: subjectivity is now distributed among human beings and machine learning algorithms, as well as among animals, technical objects, environmental entities, and more-than-human life forms, all of which share initiative and responsibility in relational and decision-making processes (Winner 1986). Within this extended ecology of action, modes of existence unfold along trajectories that are no longer hierarchical, but rather heterogeneous, situated, and co-evolutionary. Agency can no longer be attributed to a single conscious subject; instead, it emerges as a relational, distributed effect, embodied in a multiplicity of intra-active practices.
