This paper experiments with the functional and imaginal possibilities of Deleuzian “fabulation” as a strategy and methodology for ontological resistance and speculative world-building. Like many Indigenous communities around the world, the Khoisan people of South Africa grapple with the contemporary precariousness caused in part by historical erasure. The present study utilizes John L. Jackson Jr.’s notion of “sincerity” to re-conceptualize identity as relational rather than essential, incorporates Sara Ahmed’s “stickiness” to explain the circulation and anchoring of emotions within collective memory, and demonstrates how “fabulation” serves as a pragmatic approach to navigating marginality. “Fabulation” is framed as a method of speculative ontology that reconfigures reality rather than escaping it. Critical analyses of performances, digital expressions, and quotidian rituals focus on ecologies where official histories, legal structures, and institutional classifications fail to represent lived experiences adequately. These practices, illustrating how small, repeated acts of defiance and creativity can lead to a restored existence, are linked to broader discussions in Indigenous studies, Black studies, and speculative theory.
