"Elements in Place: More-than-human Resistance and Other Forces of the Earth" by Cymene Howe

Iceberg in the fjord at Kapsillit, Sermersooq Municipality, in southwestern Greenland

In "Elements in Place," Cymene Howe's commentary extends interspecies intersectionality by elaborating how the elements, in place, shape cases of more-than-human resistance. First, elemental forms – as non-biological entities – are shown to perform acts of more-than-human resistance. Second, the Commentary demonstrates how place features in resistance as a site of both ontological composition and epistemic possibility.
