Summary/Abstract: Introduction to the first part of the scientific monograph, focusing on the performative and nature-cultural dimension of narratives about the world. The text discusses scientific articles that, based on the theories of Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, or Patricia MacCormack, among others, analyze the ecological potential of religious language, ahumanism, the subjectivity of the river, and a new definition of instinct. The theoretical issues explored here intertwine with the raw paintings of Maria Mencwel presented in this section, which touch upon the problems of the climate crisis and interspecies relations.
