@article{Braune_2020, title={The Connectivity of All Things: On Speculative Bonds}, volume={16}, url={https://cosmosandhistory.org/index.php/journal/article/view/858}, abstractNote={<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria, serif;">What makes things<em> </em>connect to other things? Do things connect to other things? This essay will present notes towards a speculative theory of connectivity that is focalized through the philosophical concepts of the bond in Giordano Bruno and the concept of suture in Alain Badiou. It will also offer a counterargument to object-oriented ontology’s rejection of a theory of relations; this will be accomplished, in part, by situating withdrawal, which Graham Harman highlights as an essential component of a theory of objects, as the essence of any bond that connects humans and non-humans together.</span>}, number={2}, journal={Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy}, author={Braune, Sean}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={369–390} }
