If there are territories that are bound by song, or, more precisely, territories which insist on being sung, if there are territories which are bound by the power of a simulacrum of presence, territories which become bodies and bodies which expand to become living spaces, if there are living spaces which become songs or songs which create a space, if there are forces of sound and forces of smell, there are undoubtedly many other ways of being, many other ways of inhabiting a territory, all of which may give rise to many different worlds. What verbs could we find to evoke these forces? Might there be danced territories (the power of dance to bring together)? Loved territories (territories bound by love? The power of love), disputed territories (bound by contention), shared, conquered, marked, known, recognized, appropriated, familiar territories? How many verbs might there be and which verbs constitute a territory? And what practices will enable these verbs to proliferate? I am convinced, along with Haraway and many others, that this multiplication of worlds can make our own world a better place to live in. Creating such worlds means learning how to respect different ways of inhabiting a given space, identifying and itemizing what animals do and ~~ how each of them has developed its own way of being.
