metamorphosis as kinship

the forgetfulness from the cocoon of Emanuele Coccia

Abstract

From the work Metamorfoses by Emanuele Coccia, published in 2020 by Editora Dantes, we write this review as someone who takes refuge in a cocoon. Facing the author’s thought within us, we present the five chapters between births, cocoons, reincarnations, migrations and associations through the search for our metamorphosis as a cycle that began in the repetition of life itself. Thus, we believe that the central argument of the Italian philosopher’s work weaves paths of being together through the forms of kinship through the metamorphosis. By thinking of the future as the pollen that can be infinitely appropriated, we make of the reading a reflection on the to come, above all, by the fact that our flesh will never stop changing while we are a multispecies encounter. We write to forget, we review to remember. After all, we live fast and die often in the return of one. Like insects, in Coccia’s reading, we make our postnatal egg.
