What do I know about the prairie as long as I have no personal experience or interaction with it? Where does my knowledge, my ideas about the prairie come from, and how do they inform my reality? How do fictions shape my everyday life by being present in it, influencing my thinking and language practices, and shaping my actions? How are landscape narratives used to legitimize power structures and exploitation, to incite fear, grandeur, and heroism? And with what, including artistic, linguistic strategies can we counteract this? There should be (un-)simultaneity, (counter-)movement, agreement and disagreement, suspension. Elastic traces that expand from ears. Sanding, slurping, creaking, and squeaking. Fluid syntax. Plasticity. And gaps. Imbalances where erosion becomes visible. Where someone is oversensitive, where something is not yet understood. - Daniela Seel.
