This term was first used in [[Relationality]]. "*That which we have made*, we can unmake, then, *consciously* now, remake." – Sylvia Wynter > In the dominant story of biology, biology means the set of material laws within which all living beings, including human beings, live. In Wynter’s view of biology, biology means the material conditions that give rise to the human capacity for mythmaking and are in turn responsive to myths that are made. In the post-Darwinian, modern era, biology is also the name of one of the dominant myths. That is, seen from Wynter’s critical standpoint, Biology-the-Discipline is the dominant, expert discourse on life in the modern era. Human biology in this sense (a) enables the creation of myths, (b) is the substrate that is responsive to myths, and (c) today, is a dominant myth to which human beings are responsive. Said otherwise, humans as bio-mythological beings have created a story about ourselves as predominantly biological beings, and this story (which is called, simply, “the field or discipline of biology”) works on us biologically and cognitively. > Wynterian biology thus becomes a bridge for those of us who narrate ourselves as modern, secular humans: a means to get from here to there, from this ground to elsewhere, a transition. Wynter’s phrase “human being as praxis” suggests that human being is not a noun, an entity with properties and features that are basically static and able to be dissected by mechanistic explanation. Rather, being human is an active practice. “That which we have made, we can unmake, then consciously remake.” This offers the possibility of a different kind of biopolitical project: to change the embodied experience of being alive from one of scarcity, supremacy, and separation to one of ease, generosity, and belonging.
