It is precisely this extended and non-static body, the tentacular, becoming the condition of possibility to be crossed by the performativity of matter, moving us beyond mere individuality, performing science through collective doings. Starting from the review of evolutionary biology in the contemporary context, the origin of life is understood here as a turbulence of fluids, a metaphor of the new biosophies of collision, friction and symbiosis of entities. One of the biotranslab proposals is to think of us as a constantly changing subject, multiple existences that are no longer defined and do not focus on the division between object and subject. A configuration of other possible narratives that no longer conform to the binarism inherited from modern Western culture. @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ We flow and become, change and tans-form (c) tion, we are the constant re-articu # Open Science Friction -Affections that propose an Open Science Friction as Pin feel it as a set of noises, a sound disturbance against the systemic reductionism of the science, the collective articulation of a degenerated existence. +Affections that propose an Open Science Friction feel it as a set of noises, a sound disturbance against the systemic reductionism of the science, the collective articulation of a degenerated existence.
