Abstract (summary)
The modern human is performative. If we consider modernity as ritual process, a set of performance technologies that organize the intensive energies of the homo sapien into the extensive coordinates of the modern human, then perhaps altermodern rituals biogram something else. We might see the recent propositions of posthuman, metahuman, transhuman, and ahuman (amongst others) as a confirmation that the modern human is only one set of extensive coordinates for Homo sapien, and perhaps no longer even the most influential. This study folds ethnography, performance studies, and feminist technoscience in a developing cyborgraphic practice called CineWorlding, a mode of cinematic research-creation. The contribution of this chapter is to experiment with a method of transmedia study with emerging xhumans to investigate the role of technologically mobile transmemory in its biogrammatic formation.
