[-empyre-] Introducing Special Guest Joan Haran -- On Cyborgs and Goddesses: the work of Haraway and Starhawk

[joanharan at gmail.com]

I'm hoping this doesn't fankle the threading, as I'm not getting my own
posts to reply to. I will eventually get to the discussion about cyborgs and
Goddesses, but first I'd like to ramble a little more about the foregoing
ruderal witchcraft thread, mainly to express my joy at the work that you are
all doing. I've been fascinated by Oliver's work since I first heard him
talk about it in Oregon in 2013, and as I've been wandering about on my own
research journeys since I've been delighted to discover we're caught up in
the same cat's cradle as Margaretha and Beverly Naidus, as well as other
research friends like Michelle Bastian at the University of Edinburgh who I
just had to email about WhiteFeather's exploration of lichenological time.
WhiteFeather, I found myself reacting with visceral horror when you
described the Norwegian government's policy of waterblasting as I so quickly
became invested in their tenacious lifespans. I also found the comparison
between your artistic poetic inoculation and the "industrial scale
bioremediation" that usurped it very striking. I'm thinking of Rob Nixon's
work on slow violence and wondering about different paces of harm and
remediation.
