Explorations of the constitution of the sea – what it comprises, where its borders are, how it incorporates novel entities – offer meaningful insights into the nature of boundaries and identity that are as relevant for humans as they are for the imperilled oceans. At the advent of the post-Anthropocene, when global processes perceptibly react to human impacts, this article elaborates on watery artistic investigations inspired by the mutability and permeability of seas. Anchoring its arguments in wide-ranging examples from transdisciplinary artistic practices, the article challenges conventional notions of boundaries and identity, proposing a new way of conceiving of the self, inspired for and by the seas: The Constitution of the Sea. date: 2024-10-01 date_type: published publisher: Intellect official_url: https://doi.org/10.1386/tear_00130_1 full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2357494 doi: 10.1386/tear_00130_1 lyricists_name: Austen, Katrina lyricists_id: KFAUS65 actors_name: Jayawardana, Anusha actors_id: AJAYA51 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted publication: Technoetic Arts volume: 22 pagerange: 183-196 issn: 1477-965X citation: Austen, Kat; (2024) The Constitution of the Sea: New boundaries and identity through watery, transdisciplinary artistic practice.
