The Abyss Stares Back -...

Stacy Alaimo

As we see the catastrophic effects of the Anthropocene proliferate, advanced technologies also grant us greater access to the furthest reaches of the world's oceans, facilitating the discovery of countless new species. Stacy Alaimo explores the influence this newfound intimacy with the deep sea might have on our broader relationship to the nonhuman world. While many images of these abyssal creatures circulate as shallow clickbait, aesthetic representations can be enticing lures for speculating about their lives. 
 
The Abyss Stares Back analyzes a diverse range of scientific, literary, and artistic accounts of deep-sea exploration. As she focuses on oft-overlooked creatures of the deep, Alaimo shows how depictions of the deep seas have been enmeshed in long colonial histories and racist constructions of a threatening abyss. 
 
Drawing on feminist environmentalism, posthumanism, science and technology studies, and Indigenous and non-Western perspectives, Alaimo details how our understanding of science is fundamentally altered by aesthetic encounters with these otherworldly life forms. She argues that, although the deep sea is often thought of as a lifeless void, our increasing devastation of this realm underscores our ethical obligation to protect the biodiverse life in the depths. When the abyss stares back, it demands recognition.

ENTANGLED REALITIES - The...

Govind Pathak

In the beginning, there was wonder. 
Before mathematics had its symbols and before physics had its laws, humanity looked up at the stars and asked the oldest questions: What is this universe? Why does it behave the way it does? What governs the rising sun, the falling apple, or the arc of a thrown spear? 
Out of this awe, two great languages of understanding were born. One used precision and abstraction. The other used observation and experimentation. Mathematics and physics siblings in the search for truth grew side by side, sometimes in harmony, sometimes in tension.
