Book Overview

by Rainer Hanshe (Author), Dejan Lukic (Contribution by)

Lithogenesis: A Choral Poetics of Accretion, Rupture, & Becoming announces a radical reconfiguration of writing - not as expression, but as mineral formation, as geophonic resonance. It begins from the conviction that language is not a human construct but an elemental process through which matter listens, dreams, and becomes. Against the anthropocentric myth of linguistic mastery, this work proposes a choral poetics wherein stone, soil, water, and stellar plasma each sound through the human sensorium.

​Drawing upon Hölderlin's seismic attunement, Nietzsche's solar metamorphosis, Artaud's telluric scream, and Deleuze and Guattari's planetary becomings, this poetics unfolds as a living continuum between geologic & cosmologic consciousness. From Empedocles to Baudelaire to Carmelo Bene, lithogenetic poetics listens to a subterranean lineage - the poets of pressure, fracture, and resonance - who wrote with the earth rather than upon it.​Central to its proposition is the concept of allogenic writing - writing that originates elsewhere, transported like a stone across strata, containing alien inclusions. This notion emerges in explicit opposition to automatic writing, whose psychical automatism remains confined within the human nervous system. Lithogenesis moves far beyond such limitations: it is not the unconscious that writes, but the earth itself, the cosmic forces inscribed through us.
