The memory of plants: about the future atmosphere

Abstract

This article deals with memory, but not as historical memory, the one inscribed in spaces predetermined by State Institutions. It proposes to see memory as something capable of streteching temporalities from the past towards the future, capable of carrying with it polyphonies, textualities and languages, as well as different matters and states. It is a nomadic memory that opens up posibilities to think of a post-human memory, that existed in the past and that existits in the present, but that proyects itself to a future beyond the Anthropocene, a future without humans.
