El género en disputa. Los trabajos de diversas autoras feministas como Teresa de Lauretis o Judith Butler han venido a desestabilizar desde la década de los noventa la noción de género manejada por los movimientos feministas décadas atrás. Una revolución conceptual y política con implicaciones centrales para entender las prácticas transfeministas y los movimientos queer que apuntan hacia un movimiento feminista que profundiza en las luchas interseccionales y contra la precariedad.

Suely Rolnik designa como “inconsciente colonial-capitalístico” a la política del inconsciente dominante. Así, “el insurgir o el sublevarse en este terreno implica diagnosticar el modeo de subjetivación vigente y el régimen de inconsciente que le es propio”.
En esta sesión nos detendremos junto a Suely Rolnik en profundizar en la revolución que se debe producir bajo la piel, aquella que sabe que no vale con la apropiación de los medios de producción sino que incluye y se basa -como señala Paul B. Preciado en el prólogo al libro-, “en una reapropiación de los medios de reproducción, reapropiación por tanto del “saber-del-cuerpo”, de la sexualidad, de los afectos, del lenguaje, de la imaginación y del deseo. La auténtica fábrica del inconsciente y por tanto la batalla más intensa y crucial es micropolítica.”

wi watt’heure #36

Carte blanche à Méryll Ampe
sur la notion d'inattendu dans l'improvisation et la composition 

Par Elena Biserna & Carole Rieussec
Graphisme et mise en ligne : Lionel Palun

wi watt’heure #36 est une carte blanche à l’artiste sonore Méryll Ampe. Formée en sculpture et en arts visuels, Méryll explore la plasticité et la matérialité du son via des expérimentations empiriques et des questionnements de mise en espace. Les jeux rythmiques de percussions, le silence, la résonance, les matières (plâtre, terre…) ou autres phénomènes sonores sont les matériaux à la base de son travail, qui prend la forme de performances sonores, installations, sculptures, volumes et dessins. 

Nous avons invité Méryll à rentrer en résonance et répondre à notre observatoire des différences à partir de sa connaissance de la scène électronique et expérimentale et de son positionnement social. Dans ce numéro #36, elle partage avec nous un moment de recherche  et propose une forme singulière, entre le journal intime et le carnet radiophonique :

« Pour wi watt’heure, j’imagine une trame, un circuit empirique dont le support sera un journal sonore. Un espace en mouvement, dans une dynamique intérieure/extérieure. Des enregistrements de mon quotidien seront orientés sur mes recherches actuelles qui font apparaître des questions sur la manière d'appréhender le médium sonore ainsi que le processus de composition et d’improvisation » (Méryll Ampe).

Dans son atelier, elle convoque trois autres artistes – Michèle Bokanowski, Valérie Vivancos et Nina Garcia – à venir dialoguer avec elle, en distanciel, de la notion d'inattendu dans l'improvisation et la composition. Ces conversations sont entrelacées avec les musiques dans un va et vient entre l'espace de l’atelier, les entretiens, et le concert.

Large wildfires are once again uncontrollably threatening much of the intermountain west in North America. Just 5 miles/ 8 km from the oncoming edge of the Cub Creek fire here in Washington is one of my most favorite places to record  anywhere. Thirtymile Meadows is one of the very few places I know of in the continuous 48 United States that is neither rainforest nor remote island where I can set up my microphones, press record, and expect a soundscape free of human-generated noise for at least 4 hours to be the result. Sometimes it can be up to nearly a day.
This was a little more than a month ago, the morning of Summer Solstice. It’s merely an excerpt.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to record there again, at least not a soundscape such as this, filled with birdsong. It’s highly likely my next trip with be filled with the whistling winds that wind around burned snags, the creaking of swaying barren trunks, perhaps the snapping and falling of dead wood.

Stands up on soapbox:
These forests depend upon fire for their very survival, but the rejuvenating fire that feeds their growth is low-level, fuel-consuming, and under-story burning. It cracks open seeds for hardy conifers. It clears room for new seedlings. It brings down larger diseased trees, returning their nutrients to the soil.
The fires we see raging now are not those fires.
For decades we have managed these forests by preventing fire without clearing the accumulating fuels. In the effort to keep “timber stock” available for logging and to protect the encroaching human settlements, all fire is suppressed. Weakened and dried by the advancement of climate change, trees age without replacement while dense, dry growth builds up beneath.
A simple spark (a lightning strike, an untended campfire, the hot under-carriage of a vehicle, a cigarette butt) is all that is needed to start a conflagration that does not clear and rejuvenate, but destroys.
With both the understory and tree cover gone, the ground becomes loose and rocky. The Autumn rains, Winter snows, and Spring melts wash away the fertile soils that nurse future growth.
We lose forest, and it doesn’t grow back. Not all of it. The interiors are safe for now, and can slowly re-grow over the ensuing decades if left un-molested. The edges are gone, however, and each successive fire and monsoon season scales them back farther.
Thirtymile Meadows is at a unique interface of interior, edge, and wet meadow. The meadow will survive, as should the deep forest to its Northeast. The Southwest edge, though, will disappear if the Cub Creek Fire reaches it. Already scarred by human-caused fires nearly twenty years ago, the Southern edge is dry, fuel-filled, and loose.

I don’t have an answer. I don’t have a plan. I just want to make people aware.

I also want to share the beauty of soundscapes that are in danger of disappearing, whether from noise pollution or ecosystem loss.
