Bionic Communality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781931824941)

Poetry. Environmental Studies. BIONIC COMMUNALITY demonstrates floral, faunal and mineral consciousness as a cacophonous, all-encompassing intensity of being together, collaboratively holding a space of lived histories and emergent matrixes of meaning. In a terrestrial and cosmic forcefield of vibrant interconnectedness, emergent relational and positional engagements are negotiated. Taking cues from motile and audiovisual sensation, improvisations and choreographed dances performed throughout Iijima's hometown inform language as it becomes active in 360 degrees. Submerged social facts are laid bare: femacide, ecocide, genocide. This is a work of the intimacies of civic participation. Liberational struggles find coalitional power. Dying is attended to, as is living. BIONIC COMMUNALITY is a vibrant catalyst for social transformation.
