Argument

The EKES (EarthKeeping EarthShaking) research programme and its eponymous collection hypothesise a renewal of the world’s habitability from the perspective of artists in a convergent perspective of political history, environmental humanities and art history. It calls for a more collaborative than separative relationship with the living world, considered no longer as a whole but as a multitude. Although ecofeminist schools of thought emerged at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, their contemporary influences are the subject of this first issue of the EKES collection. Today, can we speak of a common language for artistic practices and ecofeminist concerns? What connections can be established? What are the ethical, political and aesthetic issues and what artistic forms and new narratives can they lead to?
