Sensoriographic Sensibilities

If two heads are better than one, then it is obvious how much more thinking can happen when six heads come together.

The latest issue of Ecozon@: European Journal of Literature, Culture, and Environment features a text with six authors, and I had the pleasure of being one of them. Maya Hey, Sevgi Mutlu Sirakova, Philine Schiller, Lena M. Schlegel, Penelope Volinia, and I take on one of the challenges of multispecies research: how to know others in multi-sensory ways and how to document and communicate them back to a human audience.

In response, “Sensoriographic Sensibilities: Immersing, Recording, and Storying the Senses in More-Than-Human Worlds” shifts the focus from singular encounters to recursively reliving experiences, asking researchers to synthesise the many partialities of knowing.
