For much of human history, actively sensing and being in resonance witheach other was part and parcel of social cohesion, was part of play, produc-tion, and reproduction. Such ways of deeply listening and attending to eachother have been significantly reduced or changed by contemporary modes ofdaily life and social organisation.Moving from the deep tissues of our humanbodies, this book suggestsTensional Responsivenessas a quotidian impulse to-wardssensitively organising in relation to others. In writing about this quality oftensional responsiveness, fourpropositions, understood as impulses with thepotential to generate a curious response, emerged and became the structureof the book. What you are reading is an invitation to become alive with thesepropositions, and to find your response to them. All four are offers and con-tributions towards putting together the contemporary pieces of our humanpuzzle in novel ways. The propositions concern:1.How we can perceive our bodies as vibrant potential for being social, forliving in sensitive community with humans and all beings and qualitiesbeyond-the-human2.The future of work as continuously sharing in the joys and pleasures ofrelating3.Fine-tuning singing and dancing together as practices for generating andmaintaining good health and social happiness, and for circulating power4.How attention to relational ecosomatic aliveness and non-violence offersdifferentqualitiestoourstorytellingonfutureworldsandhumansurvivalOne of the main inspirations for my storytelling around tensional responsive-ness originates from my time of living with the egalitarian Baka.The Baka area cultural group from the tropical forests of Central Africa, and I spent oneyear with Baka groups along the River Ivindo in Gabon. From observing and sharing in their lives, the Ivindo Baka are a group of humans living life in-volving the usual joys and struggles with health, family, and economic issues.But there was also that special quality,the uniqueness and power of theirlivedegalitarianism Baka style. Moreover, it was not only the Baka, but just as muchthe aliveness of the tropical forests, the diversity of plant species, the infinitesounds, smells and hues of vibrant green, which enchanted me into sensingwhat living as part of healthy (eco)systems really involves. The intensities ofthis continuity of vibrating greens interwoven with Baka polyphonic singing-dancing, shapes my desire for sharing the wonders of egalitarian sociality.
