Abstract: | The article focuses on more-than human relations and the role of narration. What are possible ways to improve the quality of relations that manage to keep up with the speed and problems brought about by the quantity of relations in a globalised world? By following the traces of a bear in Nastassja Martin’s book In the Eye of the Wild (2021), I draw attention to a specific aspect of more-than-human relations. Martin’s text creates a specific form of relationality and tells a story of how to narrate the relation between different worlds. It is precisely this kind of relationality we can think of as a common ground; a new, minor form of universality beyond Western Logocentrism, without denying differences or falling into a relativism that does not do justice to the material implications of the relation and the narration. |
