Abstract
Abstract The water’s voice is tetchy, angry even. It is something to do with measurements and enclosures. Or perhaps with humanity in general. The water speaks to no one in particular. A gargling monologue about vastness and death, its exoplanetary itineraries and its chthonic hideaways, its elements and qualities, even its lack of voice. Even so, the water’s voice enters a subaquatic communication with two other bodies, genderless, formless, in constant becoming. These are both human and non-human bodies, their ways of touching require no skin, moving along primordial confluences and elemental conflicts.
期刊介绍:
Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities was established in September 1993 to provide an international forum for vanguard work in the theoretical humanities. In itself a contentious category, "theoretical humanities" represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies. The journal is dedicated to the refreshing of intellectual coordinates, and to the challenging and vivifying process of re-thinking. Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities encourages a critical engagement with theory in terms of disciplinary development and intellectual and political usefulness, the inquiry into and articulation of culture.
