Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This is part 1 of 6 of the dossier What Do We Talk about when We Talk about Queer Death?, edited by M. Petricola. The contributions collected in this article sit at the crossroads between thanatology and queer theory and tackle questions such as: how can we define queer death studies as a research field? How can queer death studies problematize and rethink the life-death binary? Which notions and hermeneutic tools could be borrowed from other disciplines in order to better define queer death studies?The present article includes the following contributions: – MacCormack P., What does queer death studies mean?; – Radomska M., On queering death studies; – Lykke N., Death as vibrancy; – Hillerup Hansen I., What concreteness will do to resolve the uncertain; – Olson P., Queer objectivity as a response to denials of death; – Manganas N., The queer lack of a chthonic instinct.

More-than-human humanities : A Focus Book Series
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- BOOK SERIES More Than Human HumanitiesThe More-Than-Human Humanities focus series aims to attend to human differences entangled with environmental justice, information technologies, AI, synthetic biology, surveillance systems, species extinction, and drastic ecological change. It draws attention not only to the creativity and potentiality of this reinvention of arts and humanities, but also to that which limits or wounds conditions of life on earth. It addresses the question of how we may learn to live with those wounds and limitations in everyday practice. The titles in the series provide insight into the state-of-the art humanities research in a changing world.First book of this series, Extracting Reconciliation (out Sep 2023), is written by Myra Hird and Hillary Predco. Extracting Reconciliation: Indigenous Lands, (In)human Wastes, and Colonial Reckoning (full title of book 1 in this series) argues that reconciliation constitutes a critical contemporary mechanism through which colonialism is seeking to ensure continuing access to Indigenous lands and resources.Series Editors: Cecilia Åsberg and Marietta Radomska, Linköping University, Sweden

Between Crisis Imaginaries and Arts of Eco-Grief
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the Anthropocene, the epoch of climate change and environmental destruction that render certain habitats unliveable and induce socio-economic inequalities and shared ‘more-than-human’ vulnerabilities, death and loss become urgent environmental concerns. As climate scientists indicate, in order to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), a much more radical transformative action is needed from all stakeholders: governments, the private sector, communities and individuals (Höhne et al. 2020). Simultaneously, climate change, wars – as it is painfully manifested through the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine – and unsustainable living conditions contribute to the mortality and suffering of humans and nonhumans, destruction of entire ecosystems and populations, loss of biodiversity, the sixth mass extinction, and ‘slow’ – as well as very abrupt – environmental violence (Nixon 2011; Neimanis 2020; Åsberg & Radomska 2021). All of these evoke feelings of anger, anxiety and grief, manifested both globally and locally in popular-scientific narratives, cultural and artistic expressions, and environmental activism.This paper explores crisis imaginaries linked to more-than-human death, dying and extinction, as well as questions of ecological grief (or eco-grief), which the former are inherently entwined with. After unpacking the genealogy of the concept of eco-grief and its interlinked notions, I briefly sketch out the theoretical framework of Queer Death Studies, which this presentation is grounded in, and subsequently I look at several examples of contemporary bio-, eco-and media art that mobilise and – at times – subvert the notions of and mourning the more-than-human.

Between Terminal Ecologies and Arts of Eco-Grief: A Queering Reflection
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- While the notion of bereavement linked to the death of a human or to the loss of that which hasalready passed are societally accepted or even expected, the mourning of nonhuman death andecological loss has a rather different status. It is frequently described as ‘disenfranchised grief’(Doka 1989): not openly accepted or acknowledged in society. Simultaneously, in the presentanthropocenic context, where planetary environmental destruction generates unliveable spacesand amplifies ‘more-than-human’ vulnerabilities, the killing of nonhuman populations, annihilationof entire ecosystems and species extinction catalyse discussions among scientists, legal experts,activists and general society. Yet, it is not only natural-scientific and legal, but also philosophical,artistic and cultural understandings of death and eco-grief that are urgently needed. Grounded inQDS, this talk zooms in on the imaginaries and engagements with more-than-human death, as theyare interwoven through the tissues of select contemporary artworks, where ecological ontologyof death is being exposed and where ethical territories of eco-grief and mourning the more-thanhuman unfold.

Deterritorialising Death: Queerfeminist Biophilosophy and Ecologies of the Non/Living in Contemporary Art
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the contemporary context of environmental crises and the degradation of resources, certain habitats become unliveable, leading to the death of individuals and species extinction. Whilst bioscience emphasises interdependency and relationality as crucial characteristics of life shared by all organisms, Western cultural imaginaries tend to draw a thick dividing line between humans and nonhumans, particularly evident in the context of death. On the one hand, death appears as a process common to all forms of life; on the other, as an event that distinguishes human from other organisms. Against this background, this article explores how contemporary art—in particular, the series of works The Absence of Alice (2008–2011) by Australian new-media and bioartist Svenja Kratz—challenges the normative and human-exceptionalist concept of death. By employing queerfeminist biophilosophy as a strategy that focuses on relations, processes and transformations instead of ‘essences’, the article examines the ways Kratz’s works deterritorialise the conventional concept of death. In this way, it hopes to attend to the intimacies between materialities of a human and nonhuman kind that form part of the processes of death and dying, and what follows, to reframe ethico-ontology of death as material and processual ecologies of the non/living.

Ecologies of Death, Ecologies of Mourning: A Biophilosophy of Non/Living Arts

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the present condition of planetary environmental crises, violence, and war, entire ecosystems are annihilated, habitats turn into unliveable spaces, and shared “more-than-human” vulnerabilities get amplified. Here and now, death and loss become urgent environmental concerns, while the Anthropocene-induced anxiety, anger, and grief are manifested in popular-scientific narratives, art, culture, and activism.Grounded in the theoretical framework of queer death studies, this article explores present grief imaginaries and engagements with more-than-human death, dying, and extinction, as they are interwoven through contemporary art. It is there where an ecological ontology of death is being exposed and ethical territories of eco-grief unfold.
