"Histories of Predation" is a book about active mythic thinking and scientific storytelling, about fright, trauma, and potentials for transformation. It traces Marie Kølbæk Iversen's critical reimagining of subjectivity and cultural history, from "Mirror Therapy" (2015-16) and "Io/I" (2015-19) to "Histories of Predation" (2022-) and the performance project Donnimaar (2017-). Interrogating the demographic and aesthetic homogenization of the mid-nineteenth-century Danish nation-state and the ensuing forced forgetting of divergent identities, the book offers a deep-time view on processes of nation building by probing the geopolitical "mythologics" they hinge on. "Histories of Predation" is part of the Podere Trafonti notebook series.
