Ontopoetics refers to the communicative engagement of self with the world and the world with the self.[1] It is also described as a "poetic order" that unfolds alongside the "causal order" in the process of the communicative engagement with reality.[2] It addresses the perception of cues or signals, or the expression of actors, as well as "the construction of impressions on re-actors by the deliberate choice of attractive signifiers that communicate factual or illusory realities"[3].
Concept
Ontopoetics is derived from the Greek words ontos ("that which is" - "I am" or "being") and poiesis ("coming into being" - creation" or "bringing forth").[4] It is also noted that the poetic element to the concept connotes a complexity that embraces diversity of experiences so that those that do not lie within the bounds of one's tradition are not rejected or denied.[5] As a concept, ontopoetics looks into the creative relationship between things and focuses on the poetic infrastructure of creation (e.g. order of an insect, structure of a seed, or the composition of a bird song).[4] It also includes the manner by which humans respond to these symmetries. Aside from the cues, expressions, or signifiers made to communicate realities, ontopoetics also cover the "construction of imaginary situations by certain species" such as animal cheating, mimicking, and playing.[3]
