Perspectives and event A study on modes of existence & the more-than human. Perspectivism and process philosophy

What if a thing seen is not the same thing, or cannot even be seen in different perspectives, ontologically so? This simple proposition, called “ontological perspectivism,” turns on its head the common conception of what a perspective is and what shifting in perspective would be. Following this proposition down the rabbit hole, this thesis on perspectivism studies certain scenes, from discursive to filmic, to learn to interpret and evaluate– what Nietzsche calls the plural art of interpretation – lived experience as real in its affects and not in some way lesser. From a Yanomami Amerindian seeing an evil being and not a construction truck, to a child seeing an invisible creature under the table, to a racialized person experiencing the threat of a police car policing, the aim of the study is to contrast these perspectives with the given Eurocentric modern worldview based in good and common sense, problematizing its order of rank and opening thought to more-than human modes of existence.
