After our textual encounters with Donna Haraway during the seminar, we will gather to watch Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival by Fabrizio Terranova. Everyone is invited to join us!

The film features Haraway in a playful and engaging exploration of her life, influences, and ideas. A passionate storyteller, Haraway guides us through a series of conversations held in her self-built California home, touching on topics such as capitalism and the Anthropocene (a term she “uses but finds troubling”), science fiction as philosophical text, unconventional partnerships, Catholicism’s role in her upbringing, human–canine relations, the suppression of women’s writing, the unexpected history of orthodontic aesthetics, and the need for post-colonial and post-patriarchal narratives.

Terranova visualizes Haraway’s rebellious and hopeful universe – filled with living beings and transspecies relationships – through green-screen projections and archival footage. The result is a vivid portrait of a thinker with a nimble and curious mind.
