The processes and imaginaries of what is commonly framed as ‘the Anthropocene’ combine and expose the erasure, consumption, oppression, colonisation, and exploitation of different kinds of bodies: human and nonhuman, organic and inorganic, individual and multiplicitous. Some of them are always already rendered ‘bare life’ or commodities to be consumed. While death as both an event and a process underpins the questions of the current environmental crisis and the accompanying cultural imaginaries, its understanding remains fashioned and arranged very much according to the conventional Western idea of the autonomous human subject. By bringing select philosophical perspectives and new-media/bioartworks into dialogue, this paper aims to focus on the possibilities of moving beyond the hegemony of the human, ‘deterritorialising’ death, and exploring ethical potentials such a deterritorialisation may open up.
