In its eighth edition, the journal will receive academic essays that analyze the issues raised by artist and researcher Adriana Salazar (Universidad Autónoma de México), which will be its guest editor. In this issue, we call on those to whom “inert things” speak and invite them to destabilize the ontological division between the living and the inert.

How do we understand the division between the living and the inert? What voices currently occupy our listening? How could we listen again to the silenced voices of the inert?

post(s) 8 seeks to construct a polyphony of voices that enunciate the agency of that which, through systematic practices of erasure, has been considered inert. We wish to receive contributions from those who, from their own practices of life or research, are explicitly interpellated by what María Puig de la Bellacasa calls the worlds-more-than-human (2017): those worlds decentered from the capitalocentric regime that establishes and insists on the divisions between nature and culture, between humanity and non-humanity, between life and non-life.

We contemplate experimental and unusual ways of approaching this field of problems from the poetic potencies of text, sound, image and their different intersections. We seek approaches that come from different territorialized spaces whose materiality whispers, sings or shouts in a particular way. We invoke the voices of jungles, plains, forests, deserts, hills, rivers, lakes, springs, minerals, plants, animals, cities, artifacts and everything that from its own features, tensions or forces proposes alternatives to the hegemonic human voices.
