Abstract

This co-authored chapter draws on our diverse experiences of time spent in the presence of cows: Mark’s years-long performance work with cows (2004–ongoing), following a childhood growing up on a dairy farm; Lucy’s collaboration with Mark to make the film Winterage: Last Milk (2019–2024 ongoing); Leonie’s fieldwork into the language of cows (2019–ongoing); and Louis’ ongoing collaborations with Leonie, bringing her work into conversation with fields such as posthuman critical theory, new materialism and performance philosophy. In what follows, we develop a carefully scored conversation, speaking in the different tongues of performance, cinematography, multispecies ethnography, philosophical thought, auto/biographical memory, choreographed movement, etymology, poetry, dreams and more. Our approach to writing has been relational, process-oriented, non-linear, risky and receptive to multiple voices both human and nonhuman.
