Mourning the More-Than-Human: Somatechnics of Environmental Violence, Ethical Imaginaries, and Arts of Eco-Grief

• Theoretically grounded in queer death studies and environmental humanities, thisarticle has a twofold aim. Firstly, it explores the somatechnics of environmentalviolence in the context of Northern and Eastern Europe, while paying attention toongoing ecocide inflicted by Russia on Ukraine, and to the post-WW2 chemicalweapon dumps in the Baltic Sea. Secondly, the article examines the concept of eco-grief in its close relation to artistic narratives on ecocide. By bridging the discussionon environmental violence and artistic renderings of eco-grief, the article hopes tocontribute to a better understanding of the socio-cultural responses to more-than-human death and loss, and their accompanying ethical imaginaries and affordances.
