In Breathing Aesthetics Jean-Thomas Tremblay argues that difficult
breathing indexes the uneven distribution of risk in a contemporary
era marked by the increasing contamination, weaponization, and
monetization of air. Tremblay shows how biopolitical and
necropolitical forces tied to the continuation of extractive
capitalism, imperialism, and structural racism are embodied and
experienced through respiration. They identify responses to the
crisis in breathing in aesthetic practices ranging from the film
work of Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta to the disability
diaries of Bob Flanagan, to the Black queer speculative fiction of
Renee Gladman. In readings of these and other minoritarian works of
experimental film, endurance performance, ecopoetics, and
cinema-verite, Tremblay contends that articulations of survival now
depend on the management and dispersal of respiratory hazards. In
so doing, they reveal how an aesthetic attention to breathing
generates historically, culturally, and environmentally situated
tactics and strategies for living under precarity.
