Abstract
In Animate Literacies, Nathan Snaza offers productive alternatives to literacy, literature, and being that avoid disciplinary institutions while allowing space for the human and nonhuman to experiment and move together. The distortion of statist control, argues Snaza, requires the redirection of attention to include situations of literacy that are more affective than conceptual or symbolic. Animate Literacies is a work of refusal whose broad theorizing and engagement with classic works generates a politics of collective energies not to be foreclosed by anthropocentric logics and mandates. The argumentative nuances of more-than-human collisions, of erotics, and of pleasures demonstrate Snaza’s imaginings of how to renegotiate, bewilder, and animate understandings of literature and living.
