Abstract

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. »Das ist ein Sammelband, der es in sich hat: Wahrscheinlich keine leichte Lektüre zum schnellen Überfliegen, aber dennoch sehr empfehlenswert.« Ulrike Schwerdtner, http://tierbefreiungsarchiv.de, 8 (2020) »Der Band besticht durch seine beeindruckende Bebilderung.« Kochen ohne Knochen, 38/1 (2020)
