A few weeks ago, we read Chapter 3 of Jane Bennett’s book Vibrant Matter<\/strong><\/a>, <\/em>entitled “Edible Matter.” This chapter applies to food many of the same ideas as Chapter 2<\/strong><\/a> applied to electricity. Bennett wants us to see food as an assemblage composed of many points of connection between or with other assemblages that are constantly in the process of becoming–becoming themselves and becoming other. That is, when we eat something, it becomes a part of us, but we also become a part of its history–the potato passes through us, but perhaps we also can be said to have passed through the potato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
