Book Description
Frag est une expérience limite. Ses personnages évoluent dans le théâtre du monde comme sur les niveaux d'un jeu de plateforme, sous le regard d'un Dieu indifférent et muet, figuré par un coq étêté. Trois hommes sont sur un bateau. Trois squelettes sur un autre. Un coq tombe dans l'eau. Qu'est-ce qui reste ? Au gré des courants, ces marins malgré eux subissent le monde, les vagues, les nuages, puisqu'ils ne peuvent être ailleurs. Ils ont faim parfois. Ils pêchent et s'ils ne pêchent rien, mangent la jambe de l'un d'entre eux. C'est un jeu de plateforme à trois niveaux : dans l'eau, à sa surface, et dans le ciel. Les interactions, dans ce microcosme, ne peuvent que nous en rappeler d'autres... On ne présente plus l'oeuvre singulière et exigeante d'Ilan Manouach. Après Les Lieux et les choses qui entouraient les gens, désormais, La Mort du Cycliste et Arbres en plastique, feuilles en papier... et les paysages sans ciel d'Ilan Manouach, on attendait impatiemment une expérience narrative et séquentielle qui promettait d'être radicale. Frag est cette expérience limite. Ses personnages évoluent dans le théâtre du monde comme sur les niveaux d'un jeu de plateforme, sous le regard d'un Dieu indifférent et muet figuré par un coq étêté, tantôt tête, tantôt corps.

E-Co-Affectivity
Author: Marjolein Oele
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438478623
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
E-Co-Affectivity is a philosophical investigation of affectivity in various forms of life: photosynthesis and growth in plants, touch and trauma in bird feathers, the ontogenesis of human life through the placenta, the bare interface of human skin, and the porous materiality of soil. Combining biology, phenomenology, Ancient Greek thought, new materialisms, environmental philosophy, and affect studies, Marjolein Oele thinks through the concrete, living places that show the receptive, responsive power of living beings to be affected and to affect. She focuses on these localized interfaces to explain how affectivity emerges in places that are always evolving, creative, porous, and fluid. Every interface is material, but is also "more" than its current materiality in cocreating place, time, and being. After extensively describing the effects of the milieu and community within which each example of affectivity takes place, in the final chapter Oele adds a prescriptive, ethical lens that formulates a new epoch beyond the Anthropocene, one that is sensitive to the larger ecological, communal concerns at stake.
