Presetended by Professor Elizabeth A. Povinelli. Juxtaposing two projects, on the one hand, a film centered on a set of precolonial rock fish traps and their nonhuman ancestral relations in emmi karrabing lands, and, on the other hand, Alice Henry and the collapse of the western plateau, a graphic novel set in the debris fields of the future, this talk focuses on how western epistemologies differentiate between creative fiction and nonfiction and the mythic.
