Ephemerality in personal memory travelTrdina, Andreja (Avtor) Pušnik, Maruša (Avtor) personal memory travelencountersenvironmentephemeraabsenceanthropocenememorytimetravelThis article approaches personal memory travels with the aim of investigating people’s encounters with the changing environment in relation to time. It centers on the intra-actions with perceptual ephemera as immaterial non-solid entities to argue that our relational reality is a cyclical, dis-continuous process of past and present encounters. The study is grounded in the post-humanist performativity approach and based on personal life histories of memory trips gathered in Slovenia with the help of in-depth interviews and photo-elicitation. Findings suggest that travelers’ engagements with ephemera at site illustrate complex entanglements between human and other (immaterial) entities as co-constituted in time and from within time, provoking the production of situated and temporally sensitive knowledge about the more-than-human world. The article endorses the significance of memory work and human engagements with absences and resonances, both allusions to other (past) contexts, as fundamental for cultivating post-anthropocentric attitudes and advancing the habit of timefulness.20242024-10-16 11:57:19Članek v reviji164061UDK: 159.953.3ISSN pri članku: 0149-0400DOI: 10.1080/01490400.2023.2269569COBISS_ID: 176502019sl
