Since the topic of common-being everywhere risks reification into metaphysics, I might as well begin in the spirit of Brecht with the body laid low in its mundane materials: consumption, digestion, waste in its singularity which is neither the opposite nor the same as its system but intermediated by it, from food miles to flush and beyond: plumbing, lights, action! Micro-organismic micro-needs are thus thoroughly historical in shape, content and form and this is the ground zero of power and politics: being in need as the docile body intermediated by common-being and by its prosthetic Herculean enclosure by urban-colonial-capitalist infrastructure. Thus this stall, not to mention the relief of getting something necessary done.
