Postdoctoral Position in Erc Research Project

Utrecht Binnenstad, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

Postdoctoral artistic research position in ERC project RESPIRE to study intersectional power dynamics and socio-environmental in/justice through planetary breathing and suffocation.

**Your job**:
The Postdoctoral position is for an artistic researcher whose artistic practice focuses on non-representationalist, performative, and norm-challenging approaches to art and research. We are searching for an artistic researcher who focuses on nature-culture relations from an intersectional feminist perspective, whose approach is informed by posthumanist and agential realist approaches, and who aims to make critical, anti-imperialist, and decolonial socio-environmental interventions. Your artistic research will be a part of a research project RESPIRE: Planetary Breathing in Asphyxiating Times lead by Dr. Magdalena Górska, funded by the European Research Council. The position consists of 0,5 fte (50%) and lasts for 48 months.

The RESPIRE project focuses on how planet Earth breathes and suffocates at the current socio-political-environmental conjuncture. Breathing and suffocation are understood not as metaphors but as material processes of contemporary multispecies living and dying on this planet_._ RESPIRE explores their political dimensions by examining how power relations, climate change, and socio-environmental injustices are interconnected through the practice of planetary breathing. By addressing "planetary lungs" such as forests, oceans, and soil, RESPIRE investigates the crises of deforestation, oceanic dead zones, and peatland destruction as forms of multispecies breathing and suffocation. The multispecies approach mobilized in the project combines feminist posthumanist, decolonial, and abolitionist perspectives that enable to engage planetary breathing as a socio-environmental processes that are deeply embedded in geopolitical inequalities, colonial legacies and current (extractivist)colonialism, disparate impacts of climate change, and intersectional social inequalities that shape environmental and social in/justices.

The Postdoc position will entail both independent and collaborative work. Your independent work will take place within the framework of the RESPIRE project and you will receive support from the PI, Dr. Magdalena Górska. Your tasks will include:

- Two artistic interventions (with documentation)**:

- you will have freedom to craft your own artistic practice and artistic interventions according to your specific interests while your practices and interventions must address questions of planetary multispecies respiration and asphyxiation in relation to the fieldwork research site located in the Venetian lagoon in Italy, Bargerveen peatland reserve in the Netherlands, and Katrineholm forest in Sweden. These locations were selected for RESPIRE with specific criteria in mind: they are sites of specific breathing and suffocation (dead-zone, deforestation, peatland restoration - all with their not only environmental but also socio-political, local and geopolitical dimensions) and they are located in Western Europe. While it might be tempting to investigate planetary respiration by conducting research at sites across the globe, the project will be carried out in Europe to limit RESPIRE’s carbon footprint (as the project is located in Utrecht, the Netherlands). In the context of decolonial criticism of West-centrism of academia, Western Europe serves in the project as a case study for a planetary, yet site-specific, situated, non-universalist, analysis which works critically with Europe’s inner socio-environmental differentiations and global geopolitical positioning. As part of the project, the team members (you, PhD student, and Magdalena Górska) will develop respiratory socio-environmental approaches embedded in a critical attention to the local, national, and geopolitical dimensions of power relations at the research locations and work with decolonial and abolitionist criticism and interventions towards Europe itself. In examining situated planetary breathing, you will focus not only on human but also on more-than-human relations and multispecies assemblages that constitute planetary breathing. These are the frameworks in which you will work on your artistic interventions while you will have freedom to develop the project through your own unique perspective.
Your first artistic intervention will be a part of the exhibition-conference that will take place in the project’s 3rd year. The second artistic intervention will be exhibited in an art space selected by you. The goal is for both artworks to circulate in artistic and academic contexts beyond the duration of RESPIRE.
- You will write one article**in the medium of your choice that focuses specifically on your artistic research.

You will be a part of the RESPIRE research team that consists of you, a PhD student, and Magdalena Górska. The teamwork will include yearly fieldwork visits (three months of fieldwork per year for four years), knowledge e
