<p style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The book reclaims the notion of alien encounters together with strange but queerly loved companions: Vulgar slugs, diatoms
(micro-algae), and familiars (spirit guides of witches). This playfully crafted mixed-genre book is informed by feminist posthumanisms and co-created with a spectral community of more-than-humans who are respectfully summoned to contribute with their perspectives.
In focus of the entangled artistic-philosophical-poetic investigations are questions of ethics, aesthetics, and methodologies to co-exist response-ably rather than based on modern human beliefs in exceptionalism and entitlement to sovereignty, control, and
conquest of more-than-human worlds.</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: Candara, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">During the launch event, the authors and book series editor will introduce the book, and perform
live readings from the poetic texts that together with philosophical reflections run through the book. Participants will also be invited to try out a creative writing prompt, perhaps leading you to a lovingly queer encounter with your own aliens.</span></p>
