Centre for Irish Studies at CU FAinvites you to the discussion of A Line Made by Walking that will take place on 29th March 2023, 15:50 – 17:25, Room 111,
Faculty of Arts, Charles University, nám. Jana Palacha 2, Prague 1. 

In the discussion, we will investigate how Sara Baume’s novel establishes nonhierarchical relations across species, organisms, and the division between the organic and inorganic to create deep interdependency in a fully-wrought fictional ‘universe.’ The theoretical approach borrows from Timothy Morton’s “The Mesh”: “Mesh can mean both the holes in a network and the threading between them. It suggests both hardness and delicacy … a complex situation or series of events in which a person is entangled.”
