AB - This study is a re-reading of Donna Haraway’s The Camille Stories as a feminist storytelling for living in this era of climate catastrophe. The severity of this climate problem is increasing exponentially from year to year that even the prudent report of the IPCC, in which more than 200 countries participate, calls for urgent measures for this. Thus, although there are discourses that call for ‘emergency power’ to cope with this ‘emergency situation’ or discourses that present science and technology as saviors, they are mostly stories of apocalypse and salvation in a linear time, and stories of heroes. In Haraway’s The Camille Stories, on the other hand, what unfold in a multi-layered time are radical kin-making that breaks with the necessity of reproduction, cooperative practice of cross-species work and play, becoming-with the souls of the dead, mourning for irreparable loss, and affirming the precarity of life. This is not a story about a hero going to war but a story about a carrier bag that even a hero on the road must carry. This climate catastrophe is an event where our habitability on this planet is being called into question, and the fight to protect our habitat is important. But Haraway’s feminist storytelling tells us that the fight is not everything, and not even the most important thing. It is about resisting the reduction of history to the story of fights between master and slave and raising the voices of nonhuman and human that have been silenced by the fight narratives. The Camille Stories is about reshaping our everyday lives when we can no longer hope for a savior and when the promise of progress becomes unreliable, and it is not a story of immortal posthuman but a compost story where dying is as important as living.
