I seem to be collecting books with first names in their titles... especially books with first names of characters I adore. In this instance, #janebennett from #prideandprejudiceandzombies #prideandprejudice #pandp ... because I'm obsessed. #books #bookish #bookittome #bookishlyobsessed #bibliophile #booklover #bookstagramming #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookishphotography #bookaddict #bookfanatic #biblionerd #biblionatic #bookaholic #bookography #booksandfunkos #funkopops #funkos (at Avon, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvP1MuBHZw_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6usgnqe5a1lz

“This conquest model of consumption disregards the effectivity of not only animal bodies, but also the ‘bodies’ of vegetables, minerals, and pharmaceutical, bacterial or viral agents. It presents nonhuman matter as merely the environment for the means to human action. But does there not exist, as the notion of a viral agent suggests, a form of agentic capacity not restricted to the human actor, a potentiality within materiality per se? This material agency would include the negative power to resist or obstruct human projects, but it would also entail the active power to exert forces and create effects.”

Bennett, “Edible Matter,” New Left Review no.45 (May-June 2007): 133
