Ce livre raconte une autre histoire de la vie, celle qui n'est pas prise en tenaille entre la compétition et la lutte pour l'existence, mais celle qui est faite de relations de prédation et d'exploitation certes mais aussi d'entraide, de coopération, d'altruisme et de sentiments entre des individus, humains et autres. Si le principe de l'évolution des espèces est la sélection naturelle, la vie, dans les histoires individuelles qui l'expriment, dans les relations et les interactions qui s'y tissent, est aussi régie par les facteurs de lien social que sont les émotions partagées: l'empathie, la sympathie ou l'amitié.

"This book draws together anthropological studies of human-animal relations among Indigenous Peoples in three regions of the Americas: the Andes, Amazonia and the American Arctic. Despite contrasts between the ecologies of the different regions, it finds useful comparisons between the ways that lives of human and non-human animals are entwined in shared circumstances and sentient entanglements. While studies of all three regions have been influential in scholarship on human-animal relations, the regions are seldom bought together. This volume highlights the value of examining partial connections across the American continent between human and other-than-human lives"-- Provided by publisher.

Comment des humains et des chiroptères forment-ils des communautés ? À l'échelle de la planète, les chauves-souris suscitent des sentiments ambivalents. Elles font travailler les imaginaires et les humains interagissent avec elles de multiples manières. Elles inspirent des mythes. Elles défient la pensée classificatoire. Leur sexualité intrigue et elles posent la question du genre de façon inédite. Elles alimentent la technologie, le biomimétisme. Leurs compétences et leur sensibilité ont été repérées par des collectifs humains qui les mobilisent pour se déplacer, anticiper les typhons, etc. Leurs chairs sont appréciées ou exclues des régimes alimentaires. Elles occupent une place de choix dans la pharmacopée. Furtives et invisibles, nocturnes et discrètes, la sorcellerie les sollicite. Elles incarnent des esprits et des divinités. Elles entrent dans la parenté au sein des clans comme des figures ancestrales.

"Every living thing has two bodies. To be an animal is to be in possession of a physical body, a body which can eat, drink and sleep; it is also to be embedded in a worldwide network of ecosystems. When every human body has an uncanny global presence, how do we live with ourselves? In this timely and elegant essay, Daisy Hildyard captures the second body by exploring how the human is a part of animal life. She meets Richard, a butcher in Yorkshire, and sees pigs turned into boiled ham; and Gina, an environmental crimiminologist, who tells her about leopards and silver foxes kept as pets in luxury apartments. She speaks to Luis, a biologist, about the origins of life; and talks to Nadezhda about fungi in an effort to understand how we define animal life. Eventually, her second body comes to visit her first body when the river flooded her home last year. The Second Body is a brilliantly lucid account of the dissolving boundaries between all life on earth"--Back cover.

" Ce livre se penche sur les discours et les pratiques des hommes à l’égard des animaux en milieu urbain dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux et la principauté de Liège aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Le monde animal, qui cohabite avec celui des humains dans une grande proximité au sein du milieu urbain de l’Ancien Régime — par le biais notamment des transports, du divertissement ou encore de la compagnie —, fournit de précieux renseignements sur l’être humain, ses sensibilités et son rapport à la nature en même temps qu’il constitue un excellent indicateur pour éclairer la gestion publique de l’espace urbain."

"Sharon Patricia Holland's an other brings a Black feminist analysis to thinking about human and animal relations. Specifically, Holland wants to know what relation animals have to Black humanity. For example, she studies MOVE-the communal organization advocating for nature laws and natural living in Philadelphia in the 1970s-and the way they lived alongside animals. She emphasizes the racial logics of this situation, especially in terms of the policing and white racist anti-MOVE protests that followed. What sets Holland's work apart from other books that think about human and animal relationality is her focus on cohabitation and being with each other. This focus challenges ways of thinking about ontology in post-continental philosophy, new materialism, and animal studies and also opens a new approach to these fields from the perspective of Black studies and Black feminist theory"--
