Ep 42 - More-Than-Human Worlding: Analysis and Exploration of Farm Animal Sanctuaries, World-Building and Speculative Design, with Dr Madi Mañetto Quick, Part 2.In episode 42 of the Anthrozoology Podcast we join Dr. Madi Mañetto Quick, for the second part of a discussion on her PhD research which explored the narratives of farmed animals, focusing on farms and sanctuaries. In this episode Madi discusses her PhD research on speculative design in the context of farm animal sanctuaries and farms. She explained her use of a speculative co-design workshop that included humans, animals, and land, aiming to equalise beings in sanctuaries or farms. Despite not conducting pilot workshops, she explored imaginative scenarios with her supervisors. Her work emphasises multi-species design, highlighting human-animal relationships and the impact of design on non-human animals. She also touched on the challenges of captive freedom in sanctuaries and the complexities of balancing animal freedom with human convenience. Future aspirations include collaborative research in anthrozoology.Podlet GuestDr Madi Mañetto Quickm.manettoquick@gmail.comhttps://orcid.org/0009-0004-9859-0682Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!Follow us on X: @TheAnthrozoopodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthrozoopod/ Follow us on TikTok @anthrozoology_To access audio versions please our official Website: https://anthrozoopod.wixsite.com/anthrozoopod PodCrew Dr. Kris Hill PhD Candidate, University of Exetertinehill@gmail.com https://katzenlife.wordpress.com/ Dr. Michelle Szydlowskims835@exeter.ac.ukwww.internationalelephants.org@intl_elephants Sarah Oxley Heaney PhD Candidate, University of Exetersh750@exeter.ac.uk www.kissingsharks.com/References:Donna J.

More-Than-Human Worlding: Analysis and Exploration of Farm Animal Sanctuaries, World-Building and Speculative Design, with Dr Madi Mañetto Quick, Part 1.In episode 41 of the Anthrozoology Podcast we join Dr. Madi Mañetto Quick , for part one of two on a discussion on her PhD research which explored the narratives of farmed animals, focusing on farms and sanctuaries. In this episode Madi discusses how she explored the interpretive framework of equalising human and non-human characters in stories. Madi emphasises a non-black-and-white approach and “stays with the trouble” in conversations around vegetarianism, veganism and livestock farming. She introduced the concept of "necro care," where killing animals is seen as an act of care in sanctuaries. Madi also highlighted the importance of including global perspectives and visual analysis in future research. Her thematic analysis revealed themes on land depiction, killing methods, and individual vs. mass animal portrayals.Podlet GuestDr Madi Mañetto Quickm.manettoquick@gmail.comhttps://orcid.org/0009-0004-9859-0682Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!Follow us on X: @TheAnthrozoopodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthrozoopod/ Follow us on TikTok @anthrozoology_To access audio versions please our official Website: https://anthrozoopod.wixsite.com/anthrozoopod PodCrew Dr. Kris Hill PhD Candidate, University of Exetertinehill@gmail.com https://katzenlife.wordpress.com/ Dr. Michelle Szydlowskims835@exeter.ac.ukwww.internationalelephants.org@intl_elephants Sarah Oxley Heaney PhD Candidate, University of Exetersh750@exeter.ac.uk www.kissingsharks.com/References:Donna J.

Heise, einer Literatur-und Kulturwissenschaftlerin, die wir in der vorigen Folge vorgestellt haben. Sie befasst sich im Speziellen mit der Skulptur der „Hamburger Stadtmusikanten“, einem im Jahr 2019 in Hamburg errichteten Mahnmal, das an die in Tierversuchen verstorbenen Tiere erinnert. Zudem gehen wir näher auf die Begriffe „Umweltgerechtigkeit“ und „Stadtökologie“ ein, die interessante Einblicke in das Verhältnis der Menschheit zur Natur gewähren. Am 13.10.2021 wurde in einer Nacht und Nebelaktion, völlig anonym die Bronzestatue an der Schönen Aussicht an der Alster in Hamburg von Tierschützern aufgestellt. Ein schwerer Sockel hielt die 4 Figuren: Affe, Hund, Hase, Ratte mit Blick auf die Alster fast ein Jahr lang im Boden. Regelmäßig wurden dort Blumen abgelegt, viele Menschen besuchten den Ort und viele stimmten dafür, dass diese illegal aufgestellte Statue bleiben darf. Sie durfte über ein Jahr lang bleiben, bevor sie vorläufig abgebaut wurde. Tatsächlich wurde ein neuer Platz für sie gefunden, an dem sie legal und dauerhaft wieder errichtet werden sollte. Inzwischen steht sie in der Nähe des Altonaer Bahnhofes, an der neuen Großen Bergstraße 4-6, wo sie jederzeit besichtigt werden kann. Es gibt eine eigene Website, welche die gesamte Geschichte der Hamburger Stadtmusikanten erzählt. Dort steht: „Es ist den Mäusen, den Ratten, den Kaninchen, den Zebrafischen, den Hunden, den Katzen, den Schweinen, den Affen und allen Opfern der Tierversuche in Hamburg und weltweit gewidmet.“ Direkt vor der Statue liest man: „Gewidmet allen Tierversuchen weltweit“.

How do artists engage living bodies as creative material? How do they engage our ideas and assumptions of what we consider a body to be and what a body can do? How do they challenge the principles of what life is and the relations we take for granted? For this podcast, we invited philosopher, researcher and labour organizer Mijke van der Drift to engage with Agnieszka Anna Wołodźko, lecturer and researcher teaching contemporary philosophy and art-science at AKI Academy of Art and Design ArtEZ. Thinking through the lens of contamination, Agnieszka's recently published book Affect as Contamination: Embodiment in Bioart and Biotechnology uses bioart projects as provocative case studies to rethink affect and bodily practices. Departing from her book, they reflect upon the desire for transformation and the need for its control in our daily infrastructures, ranging from biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to food production and healthcare. What ethical frameworks are needed to organize and guide our actions when confronted with hard questions and uncomfortable situations that come up when engaging living matter as a creative material? How do we recognize what needs to change and for whom? Can ethics and art prompt us to become more joyful and accountable to transformative processes of justice? We invite you to listen to this conversation and reflect upon the risks involved when artists experiment with bodies and living matter, and to think through which ‘anchors' can orient us through the transformation that life inevitably begets.

At AKI, Artez she has founded a biolab space where she runs a BIOMATTERs, an artistic research programme that explores how to work with living matters through hands on engagement, where difficult philosophical, ethical and ecocritical questions are not only discussed but also tangibly faced. Her research focusses on post-humanism, ecocriticism, affect theory and new materialism at the intersection of art, ethics and biotechnology. Her book Affect as Contamination. Embodiment in Bioart and Biotechnology is thus a result not only of her PhD research, but also her work as an experimentative educator, where next to analytical discussion on embodiment she reveals personal, intimate and often difficult because risky implications of being a body outside the possibility of innocence. Contamination equally in her writing and work as an educator, becomes a way of thinking as well as a way of being that implies reimagination of not only what it means to be a body in the age of biotechnological manipulation, but also how to care and feel responsible when practicing embodiment. Mijke van der Drift Mijke van der Drift is a philosopher and educator working on ethics, trans studies, and anti-colonial philosophy. Mijke is a tutor at the Royal College of Art, London. Mijke's work has appeared in the Journal of Speculative Philosophy, the Journal of Aesthetics and Culture, in various independent publications as well as chapters in The Emergence of Trans (Routledge 2020), and The New Feminist Literary Studies Reader (Cambridge UP 2020). Van der Drift is founding member of the art collective Red Forest. They have made work for the Milano Triennale (2022), the Helsinki Biennale (2023) as part of their research into Extractivism, Fossil Fascism, and cultures of resistance. With Nat Raha, Mijke is writing Trans Femme Futures.
This episode navigates this question using an associative method which links stories and sounds, forming a non-linear audio collage. Listeners are invited to tune in to their affective and embodied responses to end time stories including Lulu Miller's podcast and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's horror film, and stories of endurance, with Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner's poem and Tanya Tagaq's audiobook.Nadège Paquette (she/they) is a white settler living in Tiotià:ke/Montréal, on the lands and waters of the Kanien'kehá:ka Nation, where they are completing a master's degree in English Literature at Concordia University. Their research interests aggregate around the relationship between human and nonhuman forms of life and nonlife. They are drawn to narratives of the future extrapolating present troubles and delving into already-existing Indigenous, decolonial, queer, and non-anthropocentric alternatives to a colonial and capitalist world. For them, some of those alternative worlds take the form of collective gardens where they love to work with plants, soil, water, animal, and human neighbors.*Show NotesMusic:Tom Bonheur https://www.instagram.com/dj.g3ntil/Kovd, Kvelden, Tell What You Know, Ivory Pillow, and Fever Creep by Blue Dot Sessions https://app.sessions.blue/Podcast:“The Wordless Place” Lulu Miller https://radiolab.org/podcast/wordless-place“Why Podcast?” Hannah McGregor and Stacey Copeland https://kairos.technorhetoric.net/27.1/topoi/mcgregor-copeland/index.htmlShort Film:Anointed, Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and Dan Lin https://www.kathyjetnilkijiner.com/videos-featuring-kathy/Film:Pulse, Kiyoshi KurosawaAdditional sounds from:“Interview with Tanya Tagaq,” Alicia Atout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FupatQbcTeM“Open Dialogues: Daniel Heath Justice,” Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrBN8_IGuuw“Monster 怪物,” United for Peace Film Festival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8OJulGi1Rg*Works CitedBouich, Abdenour. 2021. “Coeval Worlds, Alter/Native Words.” Transmotion 7 (2). https://doi.org/10.22024/UniKent/03/tm.980.Butler, Judith. 2003. “Violence, Mourning, Politics.” Studies in Gender and Sexuality 4 (1): 9–37. https://doi.org/10.1080/15240650409349213.Chion, Michel. 2017.

In the imaginations of some folks, movements towards food sovereignty live primarily in idyllic community gardens, small-scale organic farms, local farmers' markets, and farm-to-table restaurants. But the work of sovereignty lives within spaces of deeper complexity – spaces woven together by the seeds of joys, suffering, commitments, creativity, and resilience.

We are hosting Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas (artists and educators, born in Lithuania). They work together as Urbonas Studio, with an artistic practice that combines new media, urbanism, social science, ecology, and pedagogy to transform civic spaces and collective imaginaries. We'll start off the conversation focusing on their work on Swamps, that disregarded wealth of organic complexity; and together unpack questions around ecology, technology, and artistic practice. You'll also get to hear about their mode of operation within often contested social and political realities.This Episode includes sound samples that act as interludes from the work:The Swamp Observatory.

Marina Otero Verzier is an architect, researcher and curator, who is also the current Head of the MA in Social Design program at Design Academy Eindhoven. Until very recently, she was the director of research at the Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam. Her work touches on many socio-political and environmental dimensions of design and cultural production; as well as the emergence of new paradigms for institutions. Together with Marina we unpack what designing the social might mean, and we explore the outer reaches of architectural research; both in the political and ecological realms. I think her particular mix of cautious optimism and her introspective openness allows us to reflect on how culture can be put to work, both in everyday life and in the sites of knowledge production, whether it's the museum, the school, or the archive.EPISODE NOTES & LINKSMarina Otero Verzier is an architect.

It focuses on architecture, design, and digital culture.https://hetnieuweinstituut.nl/homeThe term “canon” pops up quite often, it refers to cultural works (books, buildings, etc) that come to be accepted as exceptional and set the criteria for good work. Canon has the same root as Kanun, or Qanun, which means the rule, or the law. So in a way, these works become unquestionable. Cartesian Grid refers to grids often used in architecture as the basis for organizing spatial form, as composed of squares (or cubes) aligned with the Cartesian coordinate axes. Cartesian coordinate axes exist in a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, measured in the same unit of length. Conceived as a spa resort, the exhibition Lithium took place in 2020 at Het Nieuwe. It delved into the beneficial and destructive aspects of the eternal human search for energy and reflected on the role of the chemical element lithium in powering today's economy. https://lithium.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/enMore-than-human is an edited volume by Andres Jacque, Marina, and our previous guest Lucia Pietroiusti. https://research-development.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/en/morethanhumanCoauthored by Marina, Drone: Unmanned.

This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Donna Haraway, originally aired in August of 2019. Since her 1985 essay, “A Cyborg Manifesto,” scholar Donna Haraway has transformed how theorists, academics, and artists think about humans' deep and entangled relationships with technology, beyond-human kin, and each other. Through an ongoing practice of thoughtful and curious investigation, Donna continues to unravel the myth of human exceptionalism, the hyper individualism of capitalist culture and Western traditions, and the rigid binaries we so often construct between the self and others. Attending to the intersection of biology, culture and politics, Donna Haraway is a Distinguished Professor Emerita in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California Santa Cruz. She earned her PhD in Biology at Yale in 1972 and writes and teaches in science and technology studies, feminist theory, and multispecies studies. Haraway's most recent works include Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene; a feature-length film by Fabrizio Terravova, titled Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival; and Making Kin Not Population, a publication co-edited with Adele Clarke that addresses questions of human numbers, feminist anti-racist reproductive and environmental justice, and multispecies flourishing.

In May 2020, Laura Colomban and Florence Peake have started first of all talking about assumptions in a white-based somatic world, and through the topic of vibrating materials, we talked about the idea of penetration and infection of bodies as a place of desire.We continued exploring assumptions around audience participation, intentions as felt vibratory matter in the room, telepathy as technology, sexuality and flesh, channelling concerns as a way to process with the audience in a performative platform.I met her during the MFA Creative Practice at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, and she touched me deeply as a person and artist, I hope you will enjoy our talk.BIO:Florence Peake is a London-based artist who has been making solo and group performance works intertwined with an extensive visual art practice since 1995.Presenting work internationally and across the UK in galleries, theatres and the public realm, Peake is known for an approach that is at once sensual and witty, expressive and rigorous, political and intimate. Peake produces movement, interactive sculpture, paintings that use the whole body's physicality, text, film and drawings which respond and intercept each other to articulate, extend and push ideas. Peake's work explores notions of materiality and physicality: the body as site and vehicle of protest; the erotic and sensual as tools for queering materiality; the subjective and imagined body as a force equal to those that move in our objective flesh-bound world.Have a look at her work:http://www.florencepeake.comDonna Haraway:Haraway, D.

This episode of the 'Research @ OU Graduate School' Podcast is an informal introduction of the OU's Posthuman Collective research group. In the podcast the Posthumanist Collective members, students and academics, will talk about how and why the group started and how the weaving, thinking, and becoming with each other, their PhD experiences and their research led to different, positive, and productive ways of working and researching in the academia. The group will discuss several key Posthumanist and New Materialist concepts and modes of inquiry, such as diffraction or the processes of making-with, to provide a window into and start a discussion around these significant theories. More importantly, they will talk about what Posthumanist/New Materialist concepts do for our daily struggles, in the academic and personal life and at times of a pandemic, and how they can be harnessed towards rebuilding and rethinking what next in relation to academic career and personal life. The following content therefore engages, entangles, and thinks-with Posthumanist and New Materialist theories as they are lived and enacted by a group of OU researchers in their personal and academics contexts. To contact the group please email Posthumanist.Collective@gmail.com or reach them individually through their respective institutional emails. AUTHORS Petra Vackova is a fourth-year PhD student at the Open University and a member of a Children's Research Centre. She has recently completed her PhD thesis that engages feminist new materialist theories to explore socio-material interactions in and around artmaking beyond processes of social inclusion and exclusion and towards educational justice to come in early-years settings working with historically disadvantaged children and families. Donata Puntil is studying for a Doctorate in Education at the Open University as part of the Language Acts and Worldmaking Project. She is also the Programme Director for the Modern language Centre at KCL, and she has an extensive teaching and research experience in Second Language Acquisition, Intercultural Studies and Applied Linguistics, with a particular focus on using cinema and literature in language teaching. Carolyn Cooke has recently, successfully completed her PhD at the University of Aberdeen focused on music student teachers' experiences of 'living' pedagogy. She has worked as a music teacher, a head of music in a large secondary school, and is now working as a Lecturer at the Open University with particular responsibilities for the music PGCE course and generic aspects of PGCE courses for six secondary subjects. Emily Dowdeswell is a second-year PhD student at the Open University and her doctoral research explores the role of fun in learning. In her research she focuses on the perspectives of primary schools pupils to learn how they understand fun and learning to develop and build an innovative model for the role of fun in learning in primary education.

Ainsi l'exposition Drawing Power – Children of Compost connaîtra plusieurs échos : d'abord au Frac Picardie à Amiens et pendant DRAWING NOW Alternative, à partir du 10 juin (jusqu'au 4 juillet 2021), puis au Drawing Lab à Paris à partir du 26 juin (jusqu'au 30 septembre 2021).L'exposition Drawing Power – Children of Compost, imaginée par Joana P. R. Neves, directrice artistique de DRAWING NOW Art Fair, et réalisée en partenariat avec le Frac Picardie, explore la façon dont les artistes se saisissent du dessin pour représenter, agir et réfléchir sur les enjeux écologiques actuels. Du rassemblement de données à des interventions sur des sites, le dessin prend le rôle d'interface pour nous sensibiliser aux questions climatiques, pour proposer de nouvelles façons de vivre ensemble et même pour construire des philosophies d'interaction au sein d'écosystèmes.Le dessin crée des formes et des représentations, des diagrammes et des motifs, des scènes et des figures. Nous avons besoin de ces nouvelles représentations pour imaginer autrement, et ainsi changer notre rôle sur la planète : la façon dont on conçoit la vie est la façon dont on la réalise.Pour ce faire, des auteurs engagés dans la lutte de l'urgence climatique tels que les anthropologues Philippe Descola et Eduardo Khon, et les philosophes des sciences Isabelle Stengers ou Donna J. Haraway, proposent de dépasser le binôme nature/culture (1) qui place « la nature » au service des humains et de leurs besoins, comme un « produit » auquel ils ne sont liés que comme consommateurs. En 2010, la « déclaration de diversité bio-culturelle » de l'Unesco a clairement affirmé l'interconnexion de la diversité biologique et culturelle (2).Ainsi, dans les arts plastiques, des notions héritières de cette séparation comme le paysage, le jardin, le sentiment bucolique, le sublime, sont naturellement revus par les artistes. Le besoin de se nourrir de savoirs immersifs et connectés autres que notre humanisme issu d'une période impérialiste est manifesté par la reconnaissance de l'art indigène comme art contemporain, mais aussi par l'immersion dans les écosystèmes combinés de l'art et de l'environnement. Ces nouvelles perspectives formulent des conceptions multiples du corps, de la science, de la sexualité, du travail et du temps en parallèle aux systèmes de production ultra-capitalistes.Ainsi, du rassemblement de données à des interventions sur des sites, le dessin prend le rôle d'interface pour proposer de nouvelles représentations du vivre ensemble. Ceci implique un dialogue avec des humains et des non-humains, pour citer Donna J. Haraway, à qui nous empruntons le sous-titre « enfants du compost » désignant une ère future de vie régénérée par de nouvelles conceptions du vivant (3). C'est ce futur que Drawing Power – Children of Compost propose de construire sur les difficultés du présent.Nous explorons le vivant dans la période de transition où nous vivons (avec des matériaux polluants sans lesquels il serait difficile de travailler). Nous nous engageons dans un futur déjà compromis, mais dont le destin est à faire si nous employons de nouvelles représentations pour interroger les conceptions défaillantes de nos cultures. Le dessin aide à édifier ces conceptions, dans sa capacité à schématiser des lois complexes, des frontières géopolitiques, à activer certains aspects des cultures ancestrales au même titre que la technologie moderne, à imaginer la temporalité de la création plutôt que de la « productivité », bref, de comprendre notre présence sur la planète comme compost – une présence génératrice plutôt qu'usurpatrice.Léger, élémentaire, parfois langagier, le dessin apporte un territoire de réflexion et d'action unique. Les artistes invités à participer à cette exposition incarnent un spectre large de pratiques. Elles vont de l'activisme au travail éloigné des grandes métropoles, aux expériences performatives, socio-politiques ou politico-poétiques. Certains artistes, comme le duo Hipkiss se placent en marge de la vie urbaine et défendent une vue éco-féministe ; d'autres, comme Jaanika Peerna, engagent le public dans le devenir de l'oeuvre représentant des glaciers en fonte ; des artistes du peuple Kwoma en Nouvelle-Papouasie, Agatoak Kowspi et Kowspi Marek, ont emprunté les outils de dessin occidentaux pour dessiner leur cosmogonie jusqu'alors orale ; certains partent en reconnaissance de zones intenses de combats éco-sociaux comme Marcos Ávila Forero et Noémie Pérez ; tandis que d'autres contribuent à une sensibilisation en amont de préoccupations écologiques comme Emily Lazerwitz, qui a relu la Bible en iconoclaste, n'en gardant que les « sémantiques premiers », à savoir des mots élémentaires, comme de nouvelles semences.Joana P.

In this episode, Jacks and Sascha interview Pınar and So Sinopoulos-Lloyd from Queer Nature. We discuss everything from mythological remediation, challenging the colonial psychopharmaceutical system, and experiencing parallel realities to mystery as a primary need, ecological ancestral co-regulation, and that true identity can only be found in the collective. It’s a really exciting interview! About Queer Nature: Queer Nature is an education and social sculpture project that actively dreams into decolonially-informed queer ‘ancestral futurism’ through mentorship in place-based skills with awareness of post-industrial/globalized/ecocidal contexts. Place-based skills include naturalist studies, handcrafts, “survival skills,” and recognition of colonial and indigenous histories of land, and are framed in a container that emphasizes deep listening and relationship building with living and non-living earth systems. Queer Nature designs and facilitates nature-based workshops and multi-day immersions intended to be financially, emotionally, and physically accessible to LGBTQ2+ people and QTBIPOCs. We carry the story and hope that these spaces create resilient narratives of belonging for folks who have often been made to feel by systems of oppression that they biologically, socially, or culturally don’t belong. Bios of featured interviewees PINAR (THEY/THEM) Pınar is an Indigenous multi-species futurist, mentor, consultant and trans eco-philosopher; co-founder of Queer Nature, an “organism” stewarding earth-based queer community through ancestral skills, interspecies solidarity and rites of passage. Enchanted by the liminal, Pınar is a future transcestor with Huanca Quechua, Turkish and Chinese lineages. A central prayer that guides them is envisioning decolonially-informed queer ancestral-futurism through interspecies accountability and the remediation of human exceptionalism in the Chthulucene. Their relationship with queerness, hybridity, neurodivergence, Indigeneity and belonging guided their work in developing Queer Ecopsychology with a somatic and depth approach through a decolonial lens. As a survival skills mentor, one of their core missions is to uplift and amplify the brilliant “survival skills” that BIPOC, LGBTQ2SIA+ and other intersectional systemically targeted populations already have in their resilient bodies and stories of survivance. They are a member of Diversify Outdoors coalition. Follow their work on IG via @queerquechua + @queernature SO (THEY/THEM) Sophia ("So") Sinopoulos-Lloyd (they/them) is a white queer Greek-American who grew up in the northern hardwood forests of Alnobak territory (central Vermont). So is a nature-based educator, wilderness EMT, and writer. So worked as a seasonal shepherd throughout college and considers their life path(s) to be deeply inspired by the resilience and tenderness of cloven-hooved beings, who inspired them to study the earth more closely. In 2015 they founded Queer Nature with their spouse Pınar which offers nature-based programming for LGBTQ2SIA+ people with a focus on nature-connection, place-based skills, and transformative experience through queer and decolonial prisms. The soul of So’s work is animated by studies of identity, place, notions of the sacred, and interspecies relationship within contexts of colonization, globalization, migration, and climate crisis. So holds an MA in Religious Studies from Claremont Graduate University, and has had their writing published in The Wayfarer and Written River. Their special interests are being a spouse to their beloved, wildlife tracking, practicing survival skills, emergency medicine, dogs, and helping preparing their communities for uncertain futures.

Donna Haraway's work defies disciplines, combining insights from both biology and feminist thought, and drawing on her own involvement in political projects organized around feminism and radical science. Haraway’s most recent book, Staying With the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene, takes up these questions as the fragility of earth’s webs of life is becoming frighteningly and increasingly apparent. What are the ethical and political demands in the face of the most pressing threat of our era—catastrophic climate change? To stay with the trouble, Haraway argues, is to reject technofixes that will save us from doom on the one hand, and on the other, to reject the pessimistic idea that “it’s too late” to make the world better. The book outlines a view of what Haraway calls “multispecies flourishing” and the obstacles to achieving it through theoretical insights and speculative fiction imaginings.

In this episode Emily, James, and John discuss Donna Haraway‘s When Species Meet (2008), a personal and at times intimate figuring/figuration of human-companion species relations. We plot this work within Haraway’s journey from her essay “A Manifesto for Cyborgs” (1985) to her recent book Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene (2016), as […]
In this episode of Radio Reversal, Nat, Amelia & Hannah explore new, messy imaginaries of what it means to be human and more-than-human in the Anthropocene and beyond. We tackle human exceptionalism, monism and vibrant matter, posthumanism, transhumanism, the Capitalocene and the Chthulucene and we try our hand (tentacles?) at what it would mean to Stay with the Trouble, as Donna Haraway implores. We consider what kinds of theories, politics, and practices are necessary for ethical lifeways when we’re no longer (if we ever were) simple, contained individual humans - but instead an entangled, composting, messy cyborgian assemblage in a precarious world. @RadioReversal @DrNatOsborne @AmeliaHine
Your co-hosts chat about hyperloops, hydrarails and that time Newt Gingrich flirted with Cymene. Then (16:54) renowned sociologist Saskia Sassen joins us to share her thinking about our contemporary environmental predicament. We talk about finance as the steam engine of our era, the reasons for its recent rise, and whether Saskia feels that finance can contribute to reversing environmental degradation. We then turn to her most recent book Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy (Harvard UP, 2014), in particular to her discussion of the impacts of mining, and explore her argument that we need new concepts to replace the American-centric categories of mid 20th century social science. Saskia shares her thoughts on the Anthropocene and the Chthulucene and why she is interested in the problem of the “systemic edge” where our categories of analysis cease to capture the intensity of contemporary social and environmental conditions. We turn from there to the current crises of liberalism, water, and immigration and Saskia explains why she thinks that political classes across the world seem so checked out now. She details the unremarkable instruments that have scaled to produce planet-wide environmental destruction and asks whether it's possible to imagine equally simple instruments for doing good in the world, perhaps by thinking and acting more like the biosphere itself. Finally we return to one of Saskia's favorite topics—cities—and how urban space contains our future frontiers of politics and life. What are the ethics of the city? What's it like to walk the city with Saskia Sassen? Listen on and find out!
The seventeenth episode of the Podcast for Social Research centers on recent work by Donna Haraway, whose newest intervention in the fields of feminist scholarship and science and technology studies is titled Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene. Danya Glabau and Ajay Singh Chaudhary discuss anthropocene logics, the trajectory of Haraway's Marxist feminism, anthropocentrism, detachable infrastructure, the politics of dieback fatalism, ethics at the level of the molecule, speculative fabulations, migratory subjectivity, human-butterfly hybrids, Navajo-Churro sheep, and the perennial Adorno on the shoulder. Notations for this episode may be found here.
On this week's podcast, Dominic and Cymene continue to process election aftermath and offer thoughts on how to escape the dungeon. Then (14:20) things get wavy when Stefan Helmreich from MIT—author of Alien Ocean (U California Press, 2009) and Sounding the Limits of Life (Princeton U Press, 2016)—joins the conversation and we talk about his recent work on waves and water. We start with the submarine trip that got him interested in the sound of fieldwork underwater and these strange entities known as “waves.” He then introduces us to the world of wave science and explains how it can be viewed as anthropology by other means given its constant attention to social concerns like coastal infrastructure, shipping, recreation, and insurance. Stefan discusses why the problem of the 21st century is the problem of the waterline—rising sea level, changing sea surface, and wavy dynamics that modulate sea level. He also explains that even though current models of wave action are based on northern ocean data, it looks increasingly likely that the future will belong to southern ocean dynamics. We visit the largest tsunami simulation basin in the world, learn what “rogue waves” are, and come to understand how, with the coming of wave energy, waves are being reimagined not as enemies but rather as allies whose labor can be harnessed in the struggle against climate change. Stefan offers some reflections on “blue humanities,” the shipwreckocene and Haraway's Chthulucene. Finally, we turn toward his current research in the Netherlands with its long and complex relationship to water. And, yes, Cymene asks him about surfing and his answer is the best. Listen on!
We were never alone. Before the first telescope, before the first written word, before the opposable thumb, the invasion happened. The viruses clicked into position to hitch rides in our DNA. The microbes possessed our insides to ferment food and instinct. Our fantasy of the self is a realism of micro and macro cosmoses. Our free wills are the by products of massive and systemic symbiosis. Let the tentacles unwind, the work is incomplete.
Ewen Chardronnet discusses the evolving myths and narratives about the anthropocene that he uncovered as he researched the special issue of the French MCD magazine Special Issue http://www.digitalmcd.com/mcd79-nouveaux-recits-du-climat/ . He discusses the artists residencies he is organising at the Roskoff Marine Biology Station. He also refers to Harrraway's concept of the Chthulucene http://environmentalhumanities.org/arch/vol6/6.7.pdf . In discussion with Roger Malina
