Blood Run Beech Read
This article discusses human–vegetal bonds in Kim de l’Horizon’s award-winning novel Blutbuch . With its transgender perspective informing the text’s botanical imaginary Blutbuch holds, the author maintains, an irreplaceable position in the ecological or phytographic literature. The autofictional tale develops a unique non-binary poetics by creatively working through the impact of individual, arbitrary, and, most importantly, structural violence …
Emotional Resistance to Decolonial Efforts
Improbable Intimacy
Improbable Intimacy:Otobong Nkanga's Grafts and Aggregates Katrin Pahl (bio) As part of a larger research project on treatments of gendered violence in contemporary performance art, theater, and multi-media art practice, this piece turns to Otobong Nkanga's installations and performances in order to probe those patterns of violence within the larger assemblage in which they participate, specifically colonial, racist, and ecological violence.1 Res…
Queer Procreation
At the intersection of two fields of inquiry that are highly imaginative and seek real change—the study of human-plant relations and the even less charted study of queer procreation—this article explores queer ways of procreating that humans may learn from plants. In particular, stolon (runner) formation and grafting are considered here because they are vegetal forms of procreation that are not rooted in sexual difference and create collective li…
What a Mess
What a Mess Katrin Pahl (bio) Rather than taking the side of either complexity or simplicity, and instead of describing certain approaches as (too) complex and others as (too) simple, this article embraces the mess of it all. In the face of the difficulty, which the editors describe, of pinpointing theoretical trends on the complex-simple continuum or of deciding between the appeal of simplicity and the appeal of complexity, I turn to an explorat…
Emotionality
Emotionality:A Brief Introduction Katrin Pahl (bio) The field of emotion studies is growing without an agreement on terminology. This issue of MLN proposes "emotionality" as the appropriate term of art for several reasons. While "emotion" designates a particular feeling that somebody has, "emotionality" refers to a quality or a potential. This difference has several implications. Emotionality, like rationality, can be a characteristic of non-huma…
Forging Feeling
The chapter on the war machine in A Thousand Plateaus reads like an encomium to Kleist as the inventor of the exteriority of feelings? even though his texts are mentioned only sporadically.1 Deleuze and Guattari observe that in work feelings become uprooted from the interiority of a 'subject,' to be projected violently outward into a milieu of pure exteriority that lends them an incredible velocity, a catapulting force. They call this Kleist's pe…
A Reading of Love in Hölderlin's “Andenken” 1
I Shudder to Think in Transition
And a child remembers the fear before being born, being born losing, before gaining in losing. But nobody there to tell the passion of birth, the expulsion and the joy, at the same time, the sudden fall and then the slow resurrection. Nobody there to tell the fairy tale. Not me either: the instant is too fragile to take into my hand. Yet behind my memory before I knew how to speak I feel a very first instant glimmering, a trembling offear. Helene…
