"Camille & Ulysse", by Diana Toucedo
The philosophers Vinciane Despret and Donna Haraway join their voices in two fables that each of them had previously written: “The Camille Stories” in Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene, 2016 and Autobiographie d’un poulpe, Actes Sud, 2021. These stories raise the question about how we live together with absences, the effect on an assemblage of species when the fragments it is made up of disappear, and how we can expand our spectrum of thought to House interspecies relatinoships within it. They compose a story with múltiple interconnectin lines in which speculative fiction and the experimental essay merge like symbionts.
