I argue for a drawing of the body that includes all beings — humans, plants, animals, and bacteria. This also means thinking about the *being of being*. It means acknowledging that everything that *is*, comes into being through both our bodies and not only ours.
To think of the drawing of the body is to acknowledge that everything is entangled in relations with humans and with nonhumans.
This understanding of the body is not just about human bodies, but also about animal bodies, plant bodies, and even alien bodies.
It also includes the other whose *being* is not like ours. The drawing of the body allows us to connect to what we might otherwise consider other beings, even other bodies, without knowing them as selves.
Our bodies are entangled with other beings in ways that exceed our immediate perception (that is, our sensory perception), and we can know these entanglements only through *affect*, not thought.
