The landscape-prosthesis: Drifts of a feminist in burned territories

| Sumario: | Look/recognize the environment-landscape as a part of our body-territory: that ours, that body, that territory, that our_body_territory that extends to become landscape.
What surrounds me is landscape, it is my prosthesis, it is part of the body that I inhabit and that inhabits me, that I am… I learn to look at/us: learn to see at/our territory-body, landscape, in community. A new community with other humans, non-humans, environment, landscape. A common doing with others: species, worlds requires learning new ways of links, kinships, alliances.
I walk over burned territories, burned soils in Córdoba over 2020, a feminist comrade from the Isquitipe Forest Brigade guides me, teaches me to recognize what is no longer there, what is lost forever, what is new. The footsteps transform the ground, move the air, my hair gets tangled in the branch, pulls and breaks it. I listen attentively, I look at the spoils of this landscape-territory and its new entity. I think of Brigitte Baptiste (2021) talking about the ecological identities of each territory and which is constantly constructed in the collective conversation. I imagine possible ways of thinking and connecting with nature, with that surrounds us, reducing distances and intensifying the affections and effects that the landscape-territory has on our being_in_the_world.
I make a proposal, a small photo-speaking archive, a living cartography, a polyphonic record of this landscape-territory that inhabits me and that I am, of this prosthesis that I carry. |
