Det rådnende lig
Nøgleord:
Økokritik, Nekro-kunst, Posthumanisme, Død, Zoe, Abjekt, Sally MannResumé
Kan billedet af rådden hud i en muldet skovbund overhovedet sige os noget? Med fokus på det abjekte og grænsen mellem krop og jord dykker artiklen ned i kvalmen og analyserer Sally Manns fotografi af et rådnende lig. Gennem filosofi og biologi undersøges døden ikke som ophør, men som en forandring i livets flow. Netop ligets opløsning udfordrer menneskets selvforståelse og peger mod en økologisk tænkning, hvor menneske og natur er dybt sammenfiltrede.
