Toward geographies of co-dwelling: weaving more-than-human places

Abstract

Geographical space arises from the existential affordances of multiple terrestrial relations and the forms through which they are correlated to the dwelling of human and non-human entities. Thus, the present study aims to problematize the analytical potentialities of more-than-human co-dwelling in places. To achieve this, it follows a dialogical contact between cultural and humanistic geographies and ecophenomenological philosophy. This intersection discloses the ways in which places are co-dwelled by flows of multiple forms of terrestrial sentience. The more-than-human worlds that weave together geographical reality reveal that the experience of being-in-and-of-the-Earth is based upon co-dwelling dynamics that intertwine intersubjectivities and intercorporealities. It is concluded that co-dwelling in places involves the emergence of conviviality amongst telluric cycles and rhythms of reversibility.
