One of the medullary aspects of Ana Hatherly’s poetics is its interest in the materiality of language, subjected to continuous investigations in the most varied forms. Each work seems to be a piece of the same incessant research and shows an attention to the performativity and physicality of writing, to the search for its most uneasy or suspensive – essayistic? – voltage. If the essayist, eminently experimental, sets up an “infinite game” and textualizes a “tactile tought” (Jean-Christophe Bailly), it is worth speculating on the configuration of an essayism in many of Hatherly’s poetic and visual experiences. Although the author also collects explicitly reflective texts, this essay starts from the hypothesis.

Abstract The recent controversy about the possibility of defining a new geological era called ‘Anthropocene’ has far-ranging consequences. The new notion forces us to rethink the dichotomy between the entities formerly referred to as men and nature and to conceive of their relation as an interrelation. The relevance of these considerations for literary studies is not limited to the anthropocene as a subject matter of literature, or to the possible use of literature as a means of enhancing the reader’s awareness of climate change. Rather, what is at stake is the relation of language to the new interrelation between man and nature, including the poetical and metalinguistic functions that emphasize the materiality of language. The present article explores the relation between the materiality of language and the materiality of things by way of a close reading of a single poem written by Marcel Beyer. Devoted to the cultivated plant rape, the literary traditions which this poem invokes reach beyond nature lyrics into georgic. An excursus recalls this genre of agriculture poetry and distinguishes it from pastoral, especially with regard to its use of language.

For any A ⊂ R, the Banach game B(A) is the following infinite game on reals: Players I and II alternately play positive real numbers a1; a2, a3, a4,… such that for n > 1, an < an−1. Player I wins iff ai exists and is in A.This type of game was introduced by Banach in 1935 in the Scottish Book [15], Problem 43. The (rather vague) problem which Banach posed was to characterize those sets A for which I (II) has a winning strategy in B(A). (There are three parts to Problem 43. In the first, Mazur defined a game G**(A) for every set A ⊂ R and conjectured that II has a winning strategy in G**(A) iff A is meager and I has a winning strategy in G**(A) iff A is comeager in some neighborhood; this conjecture was proved by Banach. Presumably Banach had this result in mind when he asked the question about B(A), and hoped for a similar type of characterization.) Incidentally, Problem 43 of the Scottish Book appears to be the first time infinite games of any sort were studied by mathematicians.This paper will not provide the reader with any answer to Banach's question. I know of no nontrivial way to characterize when player I (or II) wins, and I suspect there is none. This paper is concerned with a different (also rather vague) question: For which sets A is the Banach game B(A) determined? To say that B(A) is determined means, of course, that one of the players has a winning strategy for B(A).

Drawing on fragments from the performance Plastika (2013), this article explores the relationship between text and voice, between a text and its voices. The voice that it deals with is both textual and oral, even though it reaches us in written form or as grafts, and it allows us to listen to more than just the materiality of language, the sonority of the words, and the grain of the voice, In this textual voice, which can be both poetic and performative, we can hear the uniqueness of a voice that exceeds meaning, escapes the body, and begins interating with other singular bodies, drives and disruptions of the transformative power of the voice and of language.
