Field Journal: The Excluded Middle
No full textWhat does it look like to engage with organisms and landscapes at the periphery of anthropocentric value structures? How does one break the internalized myth that the “built” environment is excluded from the natural world? When does a hyper-mobile and hyper-commodified society confront the exponential crisis of animal death? Within this series of journal entries, field notes, collection observations, weird prose, and sensory musings, one will find questions on the nature of being human and the complex narratives of care we encounter in a world shared with more-than-humans. Each handwritten vignette and photograph from daily life weaves a non-linear and purposefully open-ended archive of the excluded middle, a space between definitions and exclusionary boundaries. The threads of this book are not intended to create finite conclusions, closed loops, or summaries of regurgitated research; rather, they are meant to fashion openings into an intimate process of attuning to ecological life outside and within human-centric systems. This archive remains intentionally incomplete as the process of constructing ecological thinking is always ongoing and cannot be developed in isolation. The sometimes absurd, empathetic, strange, beautiful, sad, and occasionally grotesque moments expressed within this journal reflect only a microscopic fragment of the infinitely complex existence of being a living organism. To attend to our porous, uncanny world is to see the breaks in logic and the gaps where things are not fully definable by appearance or data alone. By necessity, this work requires a porosity within our cognition, allowing the sensory body and our hyper-verbal, certainty-craving minds to find overlap between intuitive understanding and scientific reasoning
