A Tree of Intra-active Intentions – Theories and Methods of Popular Organizing in New Frameworks of Thought.
China Social Sciences Press, Beijing.
Drawing on physicist Karen Barad’s theory of agential realism the authors analyze a case of the emergence and functioning of a popular (non-governmental) organization in the People’s Republic of China. Using the tree as a metaphor for the inseparability of the involved actors, they develop a theoretical framework for understanding organizing from below as a process of intra-action between activists, domestic party-state and international development aid entities.
