Regenerating the future without reproducing it: Donna Haraway’s nature-cultural, multi-species kinship
Departing from questioning the generational character of recent environmental movements, this contribution explores Donna Haraway’s conception of a non-filial, unoedipal, non-blood-related form of kinship. It thus paves the way for questioning – from a feminist and environmental viewpoint – the notion of ‘generation’ understood as the continuation of something akin and ‘proper’ to someone. This contribution is a reworking of the lecture that followed the screening of Fabrizio Terranova’s film Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival (2016) in February 2019, part of the sound exhibition ICEmeltings of the CONA institute. The central concepts of Donna Haraway’s (particularly most recent) thinking are thus addressed in dialogue with the formally experimental strategies of the film.
