Ficcionar la biodiversidad en dinámicas del cocinar y el comer

Abstract

Fictionalizing biodiversity in the dynamics of cooking and eating is a creative research project inscribed within the emerging field of artistic studies. Methodologically, it starts from autoethnography, where through the constant use of the writing tool, I find a way of doing my own for analysis. In this way, I work with the relationships that I have forged throughout my life with non-human species from the urban, experiences crossed by numerous fields. Going through the family nucleus, friendships, education, work, religion, among other aspects. There, in a transversal way, cuisine and ecosystem services are always present, at the time of fictioning.

Through this action (fiction) we reveal possible worlds, which challenge us as living beings infinitely related within network systems with millions of species that claim their right to exist. It is in the recognition of these conditions that we can dialogue with thousands of other different ways of living, in the face of conceptions imposed and inherited from the current world system.

In this way, I work on the creation of a series of short writings of two types, some I have called stories and others fictions. These writings connect with each other and with my being from the past, present and possible futures, where from my concrete experiences with the non-human, I seek to enter into a dialogue with the reader, in order to recognize ourselves as part of a group where it can be understood. the importance of our ecosystem relationships, especially in contemporary cities.
