Abstract
Drawing from personal experience of loss following the death of my mother (Allegranti, 2005, 2011; Allegranti & Wyatt, 2013), this chapter explores how the entanglements of losing and loving are inevitable corporeal processes of kinship: a material discursive co-implication of biological and lived intersubjectivity “intraacting”1 (Barad, 2007) over intergenerational time.
