GUEST EDITORS’ INTRODUCTION Promises, Monsters and Methodologies: The Ethics, Politics and Poetics of the Monstrous Ingvil Hellstrand, Line Henriksen, Aino-Kaisa Koistinen, Donna McCormack, and Sara Orning This introduction is a promise to tell of this special issue’s origins and to speak of the hopes of this body of work. Even while we make this promise we know we will fail. Yet we see this failure, this gap between the promise and what remains, as precisely what the monster offers to our thinking. That is, the monster highlights the supposed divisions between the acceptable and conventional and their assumed opposites, drawing attention to the production of knowledge, including how knowledge comes to be embodied. While striving for coherence across our collective voices, so that the text may be readable for others, we want to underscore how collectives are easily rendered invisible, almost as if we are one, even while we are at least five editors of this special issue. Indeed, monstrous analyses aim to bring forth what may often be ignored, particularly the more than one in the one, the way the human is inhabited by, and made possible through, other beings on whom/which it is dependent for ongoing liveliness.
