description Fungi Media positions performance art of bodily mutations as a form of corporeal philosophy. Examining ecologies of rot and fungal decomposition, it outlines a theory of fungosexuality beyond sexual reproduction and binary gender roles. This theoretical perspective repositions queer sexualities in the context of the original meaning of the term ‘queer’, which is ‘rot’ – and which stands for a fungi-induced process of decomposition. With this, Fungi Media explores the foundational importance of rot for both breaking down and sustaining bodies, relationships and life as such. "Bockowski’s book – like its decompositional protagonist, fungi – performs what it also examines: some intensive ways in which queer, networked and entangled bodies can break down complex and compromised entities to ‘enable new mutant fusions’. Fungi Media is a fecund new contribution to the emerging field – both figural and literal – of ‘libidinal ecology’; and the book’s exploration of ‘fungosexuality’ is as rich, gamey, provocative and risky as foraging hungrily in a toxic urban ecology full of unfamiliar toadstools" Dominic Pettman, University Professor of Media and New Humanities, The New School for Social Research
