Tales of Entanglement

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talkResearch

Description

Entanglement, and the way people and worlds ‘emerge through and as part of their entangled intra-relating’ (Barad 2007: ix), becomes nowhere more apparent perhaps than when we tell stories. In telling stories we invoke a listener, an audience, even if sometimes that audience is within what we call our selves. But stories do more. They draw out the complex and ambiguous mutual constitution of selves with others, of present with past, of person with place, and bring into sight worlds that academic argument sometimes seems to function to conceal. In this panel, storytellers weave tales in poetry and prose that reveal the deep-rooted entanglements of diverse histories and geographies, and awake other stories in the audience.
