How does neurotypicality police how bodies move, think, and relate? And what happens when we shift our focus from individuality to relation itself? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Being of Relation\u003c\/i\u003e brings together Edouard Glissant's poetics of relation and Fernand Deligny's \u003ci\u003eerrant lines\u003c\/i\u003e to study the structures that hold whiteness and neurotypicality in place. Moving beyond the confines of pathology and psychological assessment, Erin Manning looks into how blackness and neurodiversity emerge at the very site of relation--where identity is not singular but constantly unfolding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This work examines how whiteness operates as a deeply ingrained social structure and introduces what Manning calls parapedagogies of resistance: alternative ways of learning and relating that challenge normative binaries.
