Shape-shifting is the capacity to change one’s physical form, whether as a result of innate superhuman abilities, divine intervention, demonic control, sorcery, spells, or genetic predisposition.
Ancient types of totemism and shamanism, as well as the earliest known literature and epic poetry like the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Iliad, all contain references to shape-shifting. The idea is still used frequently in contemporary fantasy, children’s literature, and popular culture.
Although shape-shifting representation is frequently used in practice, theoretical and empirical analysis rarely uses it. This article revives, defines, and investigates shape-shifting as well as related ideas and behaviours like shape-retaining.
It makes the argument for putting this crucial phenomenon front and centre in the research of political representation by generating new notions of representative positioning and patterning to enhance our comprehension.
The idea that shape-shifting representation is not inherently bad is examined, along with other significant factual and normative consequences for our understanding of representation. The process of developing the theory of shape-shifting representation might lead to a new degree of analytical engagement with the problem of describing and assessing the life and complexity of representation.
The Global Shape-Shifting EV market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
There are several firms who want to present us with tiny EVs with an innovative design twist called shapeshifting as electric microcars slowly start to become a thing.
The Triggo EV and the City Transformer are two of these intriguing shapeshifters that are slated for release later this year. The Triggo EV’s front wheels, which are 148 cm and 86 cm wide, may be expanded or contracted horizontally.
The iEV Z, however, is a different electric microcar that actually advances shapeshifting. There is no wheel or track extension on the miniature four-wheeler.
Instead, it actually grows in the middle of the vehicle to make room for an additional passenger or piece of baggage. Speaking of battery life, the iEV Z also uses power from built-in solar panels and can be fully charged in three hours with a standard charger, or in fifteen minutes using a fast charger.
