https://phaidra.bibliothek.uni-ak.ac.at/o:40962 What´s easier to train, a cat or a human? Benn-Squire, Rosie Simone Rosie Simone Benn-Squire Widrich, Virgil Virgil Widrich 137243774 dataset Dear Reader, this was a story of critical reflection and fantasy. An enquiry into the micro-politics of raising cats. Primary sources such as sketches, interviews, sound and film recordings derived during on-site research at interspecies alliance making projects, as well as various secondary sources manifested themselves in this story. Entities that revealed themselves from my collages, sketches and narratives prodded and surprised me with contradictions that I had not foreseen at the beginning. A pin-board way of making sense of things, in which a hunch, perennial time and fish-shaped biscuits negotiate. Your five zones are already at work. The fifth in a deep slumber. The hunch, speedy girl, and perennial time are making a plot. In the garden by the orange house storytelling and wild accusations will be brought into practice. A pin-board way of trying to making sense of things. A look into the micro-politics found in living with cats. There may be enactments of mutual appreciation and we might encounter a series of rude interruptions. As we graze over the trials and tribulations of crisis and kinship in the animal kingdom. The work enquired into the experience of mutual struggle and re-training; interrelating to others via ones own habits, contradictions and dependencies. Observations of ecosystems within the garden, as well as representations within imagery on cat food packaging; toyed with the question of how cultural and legal constructions affect critters within formats of so-called pet and animal contextualizations, as well as how these can be a catalyst for the politics of negotiating symbiosis within wider zones and human interrelations. Props were used as cues to trigger the live analysis of everyday artefacts, elements of strain and contradiction were embraced rather than hidden in order to expose complexities when delving into this personal interpretation of the current ecological and social crisis. Sehr geehrte Leser*innen, dies war eine Geschichte kritischer Reflexion und Fantasie. Ein Blick in die Mikropolitik des Lebens mit Katzen. Ja, es gab Handlungen. Primärquellen wie Interviews, Skizzen, Ton- und Filmaufnahmen, die während der Vor-Ort-Forschung bei Projekten zur Herstellung von Interspezies-Allianzen stammen, sowie verschiedene Sekundärforschung zu ökologischen und ethischen Untersuchungen; manifestierte sich in dieser Geschichte. Entitäten, die sich aus meinen Collagen, Skizzen und Erzählungen ergaben, stießen mich an und überraschten mich mit Widersprüchen, die ich am anfang nicht vorausgesehen hatte. Eine Pinnwand, um die Dinge zu verstehen, in der eine Ahnung, eine mehrjährige Zeit und fischförmige Kekse verhandeln. 2020 Sommersemester summer term 2020 https://phaidra.bibliothek.uni-ak.ac.at/api/object/o:40962/download https://phaidra.bibliothek.uni-ak.ac.at/o:66331 https://phaidra.bibliothek.uni-ak.ac.at/o:66378 https://phaidra.bibliothek.uni-ak.ac.at/o:66482 https://phaidra.bibliothek.uni-ak.ac.at/o:66864 2022
