chimeric writing / daniela cascella
My Chimera, a text which merges and rewrites excerpts from my two forthcoming books Nothing As We Need It (Punctum Books / Risking Education, 2022) and Chimeras (Sublunary Editions, 2022), is now published in The Yellow Paper n.2, edited by Laura Haynes for the Art Writing Programme at the Glasgow School of Art.
Fields of Heaven and Meteorites is a text I wrote in 2016 in response to an installation by Signe Lidén, for The Imaginary Reader anthology pubished by VOLT in Bergen. It is now available online on VOLT’s new website. You can read it here.
‘A Bell for Cristina’ was an early attempt, three years ago, at writing around the work of Cristina Campo (a fundamental presence in my reading and writing, thinking and being) avoiding the monographic study – thinking of transcelation as hearing in reading – writing a cadence rather than a topic, holding the confusion of sources in reading across languages.
It is published in Glossator 11, Cristina Campo: Translation / Commentary, edited by Nicola Masciandaro and Andrea di Serego Alighieri.
My essay ‘Volumes’ is published in Firmament Vol. 1, No. 3, edited by Jessica Sequeira for Sublunary Editions.
A version of this text will be included in Nothing As We Need It, forthcoming on Punctum Books / Risking Education in 2022 – this is the first of two books (and future projects) around the idea and the form of chimeric writing.
My text Voices, Subjects, Chimeras is included in A Table Made Again For the First Time, a collection of responses to Kate Briggs’ This Little Art published by Juan De La Cosa and edited by Paul Becker and Francesco Pedraglio.
With contributions by P. Becker, K. Briggs, D. Cascella, Sophie Collins, Renée Gladman, Nadia Hebson, Rubén Martín Giráldez, Arno Renken, Alejandro Zambra.
My text ‘Ah, the Violet.’ Or Was It a Bell? is published in Setting A Bell Ringing, a new volume by The Roland Barthes Reading Group on MA Bibliothèque.
