Abstract
The authors of this article use the concepts of agrilogistics (Timothy Morton) and the Plantationo-cene (Anna Tsing, Donna Haraway) to trace the connections between the development of civiliza-tion and the labor of human and non-human actors. Using the example of wheat and its entangle-ments with human history, they show how agrilogistics has enslaved human and non-human bod-ies, harnessing them to work for the development of patriarchal civilization, private property, cap-ital accumulation, etc. The proposed way out of agrilogistics is queer ecology, which transcends the heteronorm and establishes a different, communal, interspecies, positive biopolitics based on intersectional entanglements of humans and non-humans. The authors co-think these issues with several poets and artists: Marcin Ostrychacz, Szymon Szwarc, Edward Pasewicz, Iga Szczepanska, Alevtina Kakhid, and Teresa Tyszkiewicz. Key-words: agrilogistics, Plantationocene, wheat, queer ecology, interspecies intersectionality
