the proliferation of new materialisms since the 20th century indicate a radical turn in the social production of reality away from object-oriented ontologies and toward body-oriented ontologies
been thinking in a similar direction recently, coming from dissatisfaction with object-oriented approaches to qualia - qualia are not objects, they lack critical properties of objects, e.g. permanence

object-oriented approaches are useful when dealing with consensus reality because they map neatly to symbols. Symbolic thought and language are natural tools for negotiating the contents of consensus reality. But they fail when it comes to the contents of minds

whatever happens in (at least) a human mind is grounded in experience, and through that in the body and its agency, so yeah, the best ontology for one's mind's contents is going to be body-oriented
