Worlding Waters with the Dead

• This paper deals with the deposition of artefact and bodily remains in watery places, such as lakes, rivers and bogs. The research draws on critical feminist posthumanist theory and engages in questions on how necropolitics were linked to the subject formation of the killable, thereby examining changing human-animal relations and their links to situated environments. The paper traces the critical cartographies of the dead and how the dead co-worked in generative and lively worlding practices. This is done by investigating some of the relations that were tied together and undone through such deposition. It deals with questions around sacrifice and the personhood of waters and matters around how ecologies become alive or dead.
