Habiter intensément

AUTHORS' WORKSHOP led by Pauline Peyrade.

"To inhabit intensely specific bodies and places is a way of cultivating the capacity to respond to earthly urgencies, together. " Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble 1. How to write ecologically? How to decenter, to complexify our gaze?

What do non-human presences disrupt, displace in forms, structures, constructions, fables, narratives? How to describe a fern as one describes a face? How to broaden the scope of theatre?

These are some of the questions that will accompany this writing workshop, which brings together five authors and four actors.

One of the fundamental stakes of contemporary ecological thought is to place humans on the same level as other species, no longer apprehending the natural world as a backdrop and resources destined for them.

This involves political decisions, but also the realm of imagination and representations. An ecological way of writing would be horizontal, conscious, and inclusive. It does not necessarily imply prescribed themes or subjects.

It is an experimental approach, a research that we will build together. 1. Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble, trans. Vivien García, ed. 15.
