  • Salamander encounters [Elektronski vir] : a feminist approach to infrastructural dimensions of animal-water relations
    Puncer, Mojca
    This essay pursues the idea of a world that leaves behind the model of modern humanist thought, according to which man is the creator of the world, while the animal is deprived of it. In this way, ... the author attempts to break with the distinction according to the measure of man and to avoid anthropocentrism. In doing so, she takes into account the current crisis situation of the so-called “Anthropocene water” (Neimanis) or Aquatocene (Šebjanič) in relation to water infrastructure issues.These tendencies have been emphasized in recent decades by environmental studies and the new realisms and materialisms in the humanities and arts, with particular attention also paid to the conceptual tools and practices of feminism. For feminist theorizing, the author focuses on the philosophical thinking of Malabou and Neimanis: These two positions are of great help in rethinking certain artistic practice that deals more or less explicitly with the problems of the existing water infrastructure from the perspective of posthumanism, which links the human and animal worlds. The main artistic reference is a series of works, Lygophilia (2017–2020), by Slovenian artist/researcher Robertina Šebjanič about two endangered aquatic animals – the “Mexican salamander” or axolotl and the “Slovenian proteus.” Interpreted through a feminist filter, her work is addressed through the posthuman phenomenological approach of feminist (art) theory and critique. This approach is linked to the common pursuit of a transformative thinking of posthumanism in relation to the infrastructural dimensions of animal-water relations. The author’s aim is to critique infrastruc-ture through posthuman feminist phenomenology and to explain why this strand of philosophy provides a good basis for developing feminist infrastructural critique through the analysis of artistic practice.
