Affects and Reading Tree

Summary/Abstract: The author reads major authors of contemporary ecocriticism from a critical perspective. One of the strategies to discuss the views of Félix Guattari and others is to read them together and from the perspective of trees – and also in their dialogues with authors like Kathleen Stewart, Neill Campbell, Jane Bennett. The result is important in order to determine the validity and future of Guattari’s claims for “new collective assemblages of enunciation”. The author argues that there is a need to approach the question of ‘continually reinventing’ the world keeping alive the possibilities that there are processes of learning that should not necessarily focus on ‘new’ skills in a historical sense, but rather on more intensive resonances with objects and creatures of the planet – and turn these existing and newly acquired skills towards unexpected, previously unexplored directions.
