We will describe the affinities between Morton’s concept of “mesh’’ and Haraway’s notion of “becoming-with”, showing that a close interaction between creatures and species lies at the basis of both concepts. We will deduce how, for both Morton and Haraway, it has become necessary to rethink the notion of “world” and the notion of “subject”, as they represent the basic entities conveyed by the anthropocentric view.
