“…Si bien los estudios animales han conseguido importantes avances para estudiar la animalidad como característica presente en lo humano y sus comportamientos, siempre tomando como base las reflexiones de Derrida 5 sobre la importancia de que el ser humano se sienta interpelado por la mirada animal (Boehrer et al, 2018;Calarco, 2008;Parry, 2017;Weil, 2012), todavía hay un largo camino por recorrer. Falta mucho trabajo por hacer para identificar e interpretar representaciones animales en la literatura que nos indiquen relaciones diferentes, solidarias, empáticas y con el potencial suficiente para acabar con el mito de la soberanía de lo humano sobre lo animal (Jensen, 2016).…”

“…La poesía en castellano no es la excepción a esta tendencia y por ello contamos con un buen número de autores, de distintas épocas y tradiciones, que han recurrido a los insectos para metaforizar o establecer comparaciones que ayuden a dilucidar valores, problemas, ideas o relaciones propiamente humanas 3 . Si bien la narrativa también ha abierto sus páginas a la representación de insectos, muchas veces dichas apariciones se dan bajo el paraguas de la ciencia ficción (Drouin, 2019;Parry, 2017) y su tratamiento tiende a ser negativo pues los animales aparecen como una amenaza al orden establecido (insectos monstruosos que por cuestiones de tamaño, mutación, etc., comienzan a atemorizar a una población).…”

Patitas de insectos en medio de las páginas: la zoopoética entomológica de Eduardo Chirinos en tres de sus poemas

La obra de Eduardo Chirinos (1960-2016), a pesar de la exigua atención crítica que ha recibido en los últimos años, es sumamente relevante al momento de aproximarse a la representación poética de todo tipo de animales, especialmente de los insectos. En este artículo, hago un repaso de las teorías y conceptos más importantes del campo de los estudios animales, para así proponer una lectura zoopoética de la obra del autor peruano en tres poemas pertenecientes a dos poemarios de 2013: 35 lecciones de biología (y tres crónicas didácticas) y Coloquio de los animales. El concepto de zoopoética, estudiado por Aaron Moe, Kári Driscoll y Eva Hoffmann, entre otros, sostiene que los animales no son solamente sujetos simbólicos que se prestan a metaforizaciones y otros recursos retóricos, sino que también son agentes de representación activos dentro del texto literario, donde su animalidad entra en diálogo con la desnudez animal del propio ser humano, en palabras de Derrida. Bajo esta perspectiva, la obra de Chirinos puede interpretarse como una compleja red zoopoética, donde los insectos contribuyen creativamente a la producción de su poesía, pensamiento y visión de mundo.

“…Researchers in HAS come to this work from multiple angles. The many conceptualizations of animals, their social meanings, and their cultural framings have been investigated, in part, by looking at the different places where animals and/or our symbols for them are present—for example, literature (McHugh, 2009; Morris, 2009; Parry, 2016), the animal poetry of a selection of Western writers (Lawrence, 1994; Malamud, 1998a), popular media (Luke et al 2002, Boyd et al 2009, Reiss et al, 2006), a museum exhibition (Pakeman, 2013), and zoos (Malamud, 1998b).…”

Using a constructivist grounded-theory framework, the present article is an investigation of popular news media reports of captive elephant escapes and attacks in the United States from the last quarter-century. The article looks at the ways elephants in such events are framed discursively to understand how they are regarded across a range of people and institutions. This article uses the "rogue elephant" as a lens through which to explore the human-animal relationship, interrogate the language that constitutes that relationship, and examine the place of the animal in an increasingly anthropocentric society. The article offers a theory, grounded in the data, that the human-animal relationship is an exercise in controlling the uncontrollable. Additionally, building on the concept of animal resistance, the article identifies an issue at the center of the ongoing ecological crisis as a failure of imagination and hints at the beginnings of a new animal ethics.

“…I had lived less than three miles from what I came to know as Moss Valley for over ten years and never considered it. I knew there was something I needed to write about, something about my frustrations when trying to talk about the environment, something about how this linked to the awkwardness and confusion relating to anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism in eco-critical writing (Clark, 2011) and something which drew upon the burgeoning work taking place in animal studies (Parry, 2017). I knew that I wanted to write about a variety of species in fresh ways and to write about species I would encounter regularly.…”

"Encounter before imagination": a more-than-human poetics from the Moss Valley

This hybrid creative/critical work of poetry and prose is laid out in three columns so that open form poetry, literary criticism and theoretical reflection can share the same page space. This enables the writing to embody tensions and entanglements in response to the following research questions: 1. How can avant-garde and experimental writing techniques be used to encounter the more-than-human? 2. Can experimental writing techniques enable a writer to point beyond language? 3. Does an open form poem enable writing about the more-than-human to be more ecologically minded? 4. What boundaries are crossed when trying to write about the more-than-human? The work argues for the importance of writing from a particular place or site as a way of exploring contemporary environmental issues by being based upon fieldwork in the Moss Valley, which is located on the border between South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. The poems are based upon particular encounters; criticism and theoretical reflections act as a poetics, enabling further thinking, research and contextualisation. It shows that avant-garde and experimental writing techniques can be used to encounter the morethan-human using the concept of chora to explore how writing can point beyond language, crossing disciplinary and cultural boundaries. Open form poems enable a more ecologically-aware approach to the more-than-human, situating the writer as part of a dynamic system. Chapter 1 explores characterisations of the Moss Valley as an edgeland. Chapter 2 engages with the Moss ValAbstract ley’s ancient woodlands whilst tracking various creatures. Chapter 3 is based at Troway Hall which is the home of a longstanding beekeeping concern. Chapter 4 considers the writer’s phobia of and encounters with horses to explore issues of classification and projection. Chapter 5 records an attempt to trace the Moss Brook from source to confluence. Chapter 6 is based upon mushroom recording walks in the Moss Valley and tries to write from the perspective of fungi. The writers Colin Simms, Maggie O’Sullivan and Helen Macdonald are considered as poets who model ways of entangling human and natural history when writing about the more-than-human. Rachel Blau DuPlessis long poem Drafts gives a model of hybrid writing
