Multispecies feminisms: ecofusion between body-territories: A critique of the colonization of nature from an "erotic poetics of relationship."

Abstract

This text explores the working relationships of interspecies care with the plant world, in order to question the ecocide that affects both the bodies / territories and ancestral knowledge. I wish to show the links between Ana Mendieta´s land art with her body as first territory to speak of an “erotic poetics of the Relationship”, inspired by Audre Lorde and Édouard Glissant. By strengthening our capacities of perception, using our body as a locus of constant experimentation it implies displacing ourselves from the descolonial struggles of human and non-human agencies (photophilia, love for plants), to appeal to a
multispecies justice (Haraway).
