Queering Interspecies in Critical Theory and Polish Performance Art
Queering Interspecies in Critical Theory and Polish Performance Art

Summary/Abstract: There are queer climate scientists and environmental advocates, biologists, performance artists, eco-sexuals, radical faeries and environmental educators, who describe feelings of cultural resistance or healing associated with reflecting on or experiencing queer intimacy and interspecies relations. In the queer ecological imagination, new options are emerging through reflection on interspecies kinship. They develop as an opposition against conservative biopolitical appeals to ‘nature’ and the ’natural’ that cast queer bodies and subjectivities as deviant, morally wrong, unnatural and at the same time less human. From this transgressive position, subversively some queer theorists, activists and artists have created personal narratives connecting their human otherness with nonhuman otherness. Many projects draw attention to queer relations with the more-than-human environment.
