• “All that was solid melted into air long ago”
• “The human-metal assemblage is a collective one in which humans act through metal and metal acts through humans”
• “Kinetic structures are not reductive, or total either, because what is primary is not the kinetic structure itself but the flows of matter that compose, decompose and recompose the emergent patterns”
• “Kinetic structures are not anthropocentric because what is in motion are matters both human and nonhuman, with their own kinetic agency”
• “Political theory, in particular, cannot go on as if humans and human social structures were not entangled in much larger regimes of motion and material agencies: climate change, mass migration, landscape and environmental transformations, and the agencies of the matters and critters that populate and suffuse all political events.”
