In the film Something Must Break (2014) objects of nature, landscape, city, environmental pollution and waste are enacted in close connection to the gender non-conforming body. The human gender non-conforming body appears in this film to be 1) de-centered in the sense of a posthumanist destabilisation of taxonomies of life and 2) is the human subject placed in close-proximity of and in intra-action with a range of different non-human bodies, such as animals, trees, water, and waste. I would like to discuss in my presentation how the film enacts the human body in such a close connection with objects, living and non-living materailities that new forms of intimacy arise. The film produces a strong aestheticisation of waste and garbage and connects this always with the trans- body placed in connection with it. Via an intersectional discussion of class, whiteness, and trans embodiment will I being to begin to draw out what this proximity means for modernity’s dualisms, the deconstruction of notions such as pollution and purity as well as a transfeminist and eco-critical agenda. Ecofeminism has for many years been discarded as gynocentric and essentialising. I would like to elaborate how a new feminist materialist/posthumanist approach allows to theorise ecofeminist epistemologies that theorise and investigate nature, environment and gendered bodies without gender essentialism.
