A leading figure in the emerging field of extinction studies, Thom van Dooren puts philosophy into conversation with the natural sciences and his ethnographic encounters to vivify the cultural and ethical significance of modern-day extinctions. Unlike other meditations on the subject, Flight Ways incorporates the particularities of real animals and their worlds, drawing philosophers, natural scientists, and general readers into the experience of living among and losing biodiversity.Each chapter of Flight Ways focuses on a different species or group of birds: North Pacific albatrosses, Indian vultures, an endangered colony of penguins in Australia, Hawaiian crows, and the iconic whooping cranes of North America. Written in eloquent and moving prose, the book takes stock of what is lost when a life form disappears from the world-the wide-ranging ramifications that ripple out to implicate a number of human and more-than-human others. Van Dooren intimately explores what life is like for those who must live on the edge of extinction, balanced between life and oblivion, taking care of their young and grieving their dead. He bolsters his studies with real-life accounts from scientists and local communities at the forefront of these developments. No longer abstract entities with Latin names, these species become fully realized characters enmeshed in complex and precarious ways of life, sparking our sense of curiosity, concern, and accountability toward others in a rapidly changing world.

"The contributors to Kin draw on the work of anthropologist Deborah Bird Rose (1946-2018), a foundational voice in environmental humanities, to examine the relationships of interdependence and obligation between human and nonhuman lives. Through a close engagement over many decades with the Aboriginal communities of Yarralin and Lingara in northern Australia, Rose's work explored possibilities for entangled forms of social and environmental justice. She sought to bring the insights of her Indigenous teachers into dialogue with the humanities and the natural sciences to describe and passionately advocate for a world of kin grounded in a profound sense of the connectivities and relationships that hold us together. Kin's contributors take up Rose's conceptual frameworks, often pushing academic fields beyond their traditional objects and methods of study. Together, the essays do more than pay tribute to Rose's scholarship; they extend her ideas and underscore her ongoing critical and ethical relevance to a world still enduring and resisting ecocide and genocide.

Mais qui sont ces oiseaux qui disparaissent ? Van Dooren explore intimement ce qu'est la vie pour ceux qui doivent vivre au bord de l'extinction, en équilibre entre la vie et l'oubli, en prenant soin de leurs petits et en pleurant leurs morts. Il étaye ses études par des témoignages de scientifiques et de communautés locales à la pointe de ces évolutions. Ces espèces, qui ne sont plus des entités abstraites aux noms latins, deviennent des personnages à part entière, imbriqués dans des modes de vie complexes et précaires, qui suscitent notre curiosité, notre inquiétude et notre sens des responsabilités envers les autres dans un monde en mutation rapide.Chaque chapitre d'En plein vol se concentre sur une espèce ou un groupe d'oiseaux différent : les albatros du Pacifique Nord, les vautours indiens, une colonie de pingouins en voie de disparition en Australie, les corbeaux hawaïens et les emblématiques grues blanches d'Amérique du Nord. Ecrit dans une prose éloquente et émouvante, le livre fait le point sur ce qui est perdu lorsqu'une forme de vie disparaît du monde - les ramifications étendues qui se répercutent pour impliquer un certain nombre d'humains et d'autres plus qu'humains.Personnalité de premier plan dans le domaine émergent des études sur les extinctions, Thom van Dooren met la philosophie en conversation avec les sciences naturelles et ses rencontres ethnographiques pour vivifier la signification culturelle et éthique des extinctions modernes. Contrairement à d'autres méditations sur le sujet, En plein vol intègre les particularités des animaux réels et de leurs mondes, attirant les philosophes, les spécialistes des sciences naturelles et les lecteurs en général dans l'expérience de la vie au sein de la biodiversité et de sa perte.

Extinction Studies asks what extinction means to diverse global communities. Essays focus on the entangled ecological and social dimensions of extinction, exploring the ways in which this event catastrophically interrupts life's gifts of time, death, and generations, opening up important philosophical questions about our place in, and obligations to, a more-than-human world.
