Twelve Spills: From the Less-than-Human to the More-than-Material — Secreting Life through Secrecy and Secretion
Main Article Content
Abstract
The essay proposes an eruptive and embodied philosophy that takes femination as a vital form and speculative principle of thought. Emerging from the relation between the less-than-human and the more-than-material, the text experiments with modes of fabulation that traverse body, matter, and language — as secretions that erupt and think. It claims a critique of modern and phallogocentric reason by proposing fiction as both a philosophical and political gesture. Through twelve spills, the text performs a thinking-feeling that moves between myth, placenta, and volcano, outlining a hotter, more fabulatory, and undisciplined philosophy.
