Joe Gasowski

I am interested in understanding what kinds of bodily response-abilities are needed in times of rupture and transition. My work is drawn to weird and uncanny—often watery—ecologies, and to re-imagining how we might live and navigate within damaged landscapes. In these environments, I follow haunted trails, pathways, and prints as methods for reconsidering our assemblages and our own corporeal bodies, seeking other ways of becoming through processes of dismembering and restructuring.

Currently, I am focused on how fugitivity, understood as an ongoing process, can function as a counter-cartographical tool—one that teaches us how to inhabit more precarious and liminal spaces by repositioning and restructuring bodies in the Anthropocene.

My creative writing engages in speculative fabulation to explore other ways of desiring and being human by entering into relations and imaginaries shaped by more-than-human beings.

Fields of interest: Extinction studies, Posthuman studies, Blue Humanities, Postcolonialism, Ecofeminism, New materialism, Queer studies
