Ecologies of Embodiment: Listening With Earth

This Companion Issue continues the collaborative work of problematizing the notion of the ‘more-than-human’, which began with the summer solstice of 2021, by bringing together different artistic, educational and cultural ways of belonging to earth. The editorial explores listening-with as a speculative and generative (eco)somatic practice for attuning to the situatedness of each article and sensing the impact of audiovisual work in our bones and nervous fascial tissues. Our process deepened into the relation between listening and voicing - listening until a voice emerges. Alongside video excerpts from the authors’ works, we offer poetic resonances which make tangible the connective tissues between them. We conclude by discussing how embodiment as an ecological experience can transform established academic modes of knowing and doing by allowing a different aliveness into the inquiry.
