Compost Reader – Institute for Postnatural Studies

Presented by the Institute for Postnatural Studies, based in Madrid, ‘Compost Reader’ asks you to think of the world to come as a great compost, and the act of composting as our new relational ontology. Composting makes us a single planetary material (humans, beings, objects, technologies). It is the past and it is the future. It is space, place, and it is matter. It is a world as a whole rather than as composed of separate natural and social realms, where there are rituals of celebration, entanglements, and interrelationships. This book speaks about beginnings, new relationships, and unstable modes of doing, thinking, and being, allowing questions to spawn new questions.
