An Eclectic Bestiary - Encounters in a More-Than-Human World
Author(s): Birgit Spengler (Editor); Babette B. Tischleder (Editor)
The essays, poetry, and visual art collected here consider the more-than-human cultures of our multispecies world. At a time when humanity's impact has put our planet's ecosystems into great jeopardy, the book explores literary, sonic, and visual imaginaries that feature encounters between and across a variety of living creatures: beetles and bisons, people and pigeons, trees and spiderwebs, vegetables and violets, orchards and octopi, vampires and tricksters. Offering a wide range of critical and creative contributions to human animal studies, critical plant studies, and the nonhuman turn, the volume seeks to foster new ways of imagining a more "response-able" coexistence on our shared Earth.
