Summary:
Visual artist Ying Ang reimagines the mushroom as both a biological form and feminist metaphor – an emergent, generative force that challenges dominant narratives of fertility and the female body. She examines how the fetishisation of fertility shapes cultural perceptions of women, nature, and reproduction, questioning whether growth and abundance must always serve a reproductive imperative. The fungal model is a form of fertility that is rhizomatic rather than hierarchical, collective rather than possessive, disruptive rather than obedient. Just as mycelium persists unseen beneath the forest floor, connecting and shaping ecosystems, women continue to shape society in profound ways.

Over the centuries artists, writers, poets, and thinkers have each described, depicted, and designed the garden in different ways. In medieval art, the garden was a reflection of paradise, a place of harmony and fertility, shielded from worldly problems. In the eighteenth century this image tilted: the garden became a symbol of worldly powers and politics. The Anthropocene is forcing us to radically rethink the role we have given nature in recent decades. Through essays and an extensive abecedarium this book reflects on the garden as a metaphor for society.

Originally published in Swedish in 1992, this book examines the enigmatic relation of melancholia to an early kind of cannibalism, which psychoanalysis, in particular, stressed. It contains reading of, amongst others, Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard, Sigmund Freud, G. W. F. Hegel, and the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf. The authors also quote Goethe and Rabelais, for whom food is a cosmic principle, the soil of fertility, on which all creation is based. In a transferred sense, food also plays that same role for the melancholiac he who questions the normal order of things, who creates an other unknown food, with a variety of meanings. The authors trace the desire for this other food through the ages, and scrutinize its relationship to both primitive sacrificial rites as well as contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and linguistic theory.
