2023 (English)In: Pluriversal Conversations on Transnational Feminisms: And Words Collide from a Place / [ed] Nina Lykke, Redi Koobak, Petra Bakos, Swati Arora, Kharnita Mohamed, London: Routledge, 2023, 1, p. 155-171Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

The conversation reflects upon indigenous-centred, feminist and decolonial methodologies, based on a story of a poetic co-writing and co-publishing practice, unfurling across borders, marked by difference – between Hema’ny Molina Vargas, an indigenous activist and poet-philosopher with Selk’nam ancestry from Tierra del Fuego, Chile; Camila Marambio, a Chilean curator, scholar, and eco-activist and Selk’nam ally; and Nina Lykke, a white queerfeminist professor from the Global North, and also Selk’nam supporter. Through insightful questions, the interviewer, Kharnita Mohamed, a black Muslim feminist, teaching anthropology at the University of Cape Town, and grappling with the contradictions of living in post-apartheid South Africa, prompts the three co-authors to tell the story of their passionately loving transnational feminist relationship – from its start at a writing workshop in Chile to the co-authoring of an article "Decolonising Mourning" in Australian Feminist Studies (2020). Sustained by playful English/Spanish translations by Fernanda Olivares Molina, Hema’ny’s daughter, also a Selk’nam activist, Hema’ny, Camila and Nina reflect upon their shared commitments to trusting transversal relations, loving friendships, ancestrality, bodily materialities, embodied story-telling, poetry writing,  ongoing relations to the dead, and ethico-political passions for decolonization and a planetary ethics of sustainability. They discuss how these commitments became key methodologies for shared decolonial feminist writing engagements.
