Long abstractThese words you are reading, some of which I read aloud once upon a speculatively medieval afternoon in New York City—and which I find myself compelled now to rewrite—what arethey? What were they? And what have they become by their translation and so transformation from paper to essay, from colloquium to whichever media now hosts them? Perhaps, by their end, they will have the flavor of a manifesto. But if so, it will not be in the arch/modern sense that Bruno Latour sets to one side even as he attempts his own “Compositionist Mani-festo.” There will be no “war cries intended to speed up the movement, ridicule the Philistines, castigate the reactionar-ies.”1 Like his, the words I wrote and now rewrite “have some-thing in common” with such rallying calls, “namely the search for the Common.” “The thirst for the Common World is what there is of communism in compositionism,” he observes, “with this small but crucial difference: that it has to be slowly composed.” The compositionist has to entertain competing and divergent, wandering agencies. Her manifestos remain therefore subject to failure, deformation, and transformation by the “discontinuous pieces” they attempt to host, by the overflow of entities and agencies they register. What then do they produce? To what do they amount? “Prospects,” merely, boasts Latour—projections, speculative possibilities. Compos-ing “carries with it the pungent but ecologically correct smell of ‘compost’,” a scene of slow cooking, of fermentation, perco-lation,” the active ‘de-composition’ of many invisible actors.”
