Through Infante’s polyvocal monologue, acted with impetus by Marcela Salinas, plants are charged with an agency capable of uprooting culturally grounded conceptions of the world in the face of incommensurable trauma and loss. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This first book dedicated to Infante’s plant-focused performance features eight essays by scholars, poets, and artists whose practices draw from research fields as disparate as new materialism, anthropogenic feminism, queer studies, and speculative realism. Including an interview with Infante, the full playscript, and stills from the performance, \u003ci\u003eEstado Vegetal: Performance and Plant-Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the roles that plants in art can play in productively reconfiguring human–nonhuman relations within current anthropogenic perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Infante’s performance is a perfect case study and reference point for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of plant-thinking through alternative and experimental avenues. Furthermore, this book is at once a critical plant studies primer and an artistic problematization of the philosophical questions that have been central to the latest multidisciplinary discussions on plant-being. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Contributors: Maaike Bleeker, Utrecht U; Lucy Cotter, Portland State U; Prudence Gibson, UNSW Sydney; Michael Marder, U of the Basque Country; Dawn Sanders, U of Gothenburg; Catriona Sandilands, York U; Sibila Sotomayor Van Rysseghem, colectivo LASTESIS; Mandy-Suzanne Wong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Giovanni Aloi \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Right of the Other: Interpretation in Four Acts \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Michael Marder \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Thinking in the World: \u003ci\u003eEstado Vegetal\u003c\/i\u003e as Thought-Apparatus \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Maaike Bleeker \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Theatre as Thinking, Art as Nonknowledge \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Lucy Cotter \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Vegetal Mythologies: Potted Plants and Storymaking \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Giovanni Aloi \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Attending to “Plantness” in \u003ci\u003eEstado Vegetal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dawn Sanders \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “I Can’t Move”: Plants and the Politics of Mobility in \u003ci\u003eEstado Vegetal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Catriona Sandilands and Prudence Gibson \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Feminist Structures: Polyphonic Networks \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sibila Sotomayor Van Rysseghem \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Soledad: After \u003ci\u003eEstado Vegetal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Mandy-Suzanne Wong \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In Conversation \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Manuela Infante and Giovanni Aloi \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEstado Vegetal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Manuela Infante with Marcela Salinas \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Contributors \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Index \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Univ Of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619256758552,"sku":"9781517913076","price":66.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/estado-vegetal-performance-and-plant-thinking-hardback-9781517913076","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
