Abstract [en]

While the notion of bereavement linked to the death of a human or to the loss of that which hasalready passed are societally accepted or even expected, the mourning of nonhuman death andecological loss has a rather different status. It is frequently described as ‘disenfranchised grief’(Doka 1989): not openly accepted or acknowledged in society. Simultaneously, in the presentanthropocenic context, where planetary environmental destruction generates unliveable spacesand amplifies ‘more-than-human’ vulnerabilities, the killing of nonhuman populations, annihilationof entire ecosystems and species extinction catalyse discussions among scientists, legal experts,activists and general society. Yet, it is not only natural-scientific and legal, but also philosophical,artistic and cultural understandings of death and eco-grief that are urgently needed. Grounded inQDS, this talk zooms in on the imaginaries and engagements with more-than-human death, as theyare interwoven through the tissues of select contemporary artworks, where ecological ontologyof death is being exposed and where ethical territories of eco-grief and mourning the more-thanhuman unfold.
