"How do we understand the boundaries of individual creatures? What are the systems of interdependency that bind all living creatures together? Plants were among thefirst to colonize the planet. They created the soil and the atmosphere that made life possible for animals. They are some of the largest and oldest life forms on Earth. In spite of their primacy, Western cultures have traditionally regarded plants as the lowest life forms, lacking mobility, sensation, and communication. But recent research argues that plants move and respond to their environment, communicate with each other, and form partnerships with other species. Art, poetry, and essays by cultural anthropologists, experimental plant biologists, philosophers, botanists and foresters expose the complex interactions of the vibrant living world around us and give us a lens through which we can explore our intertwined histories."--

The domestication of plants and animals is central to the familiar and now outdated story of civilization's emergence. Intertwined with colonialism and imperial expansion, the domestication narrative has informed and justified dominant and often destructive practices. Contending that domestication retains considerable value as an analytical tool, the contributors to Domestication Gone Wild reengage the concept by highlighting sites and forms of domestication occurring in unexpected and marginal sites, from Norwegian fjords and Philippine villages to British falconry cages and South African colonial townships. Challenging idioms of animal husbandry as human mastery and progress, the contributors push beyond the boundaries of farms, fences, and cages to explore how situated relations with animals and plants are linked to the politics of human difference—and, conversely, how politics are intertwined with plant and animal life. Ultimately, this volume promotes a novel, decolonizing concept of domestication that radically revises its Euro- and anthropocentric narrative.Contributors. Inger Anneberg, Natasha Fijn, Rune Flikke, Frida Hastrup, Marianne Elisabeth Lien, Knut G. Nustad, Sara Asu Schroer, Heather Anne Swanson, Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, Mette Vaarst, Gro B. Ween, Jon Henrik Ziegler Remme

"The author aims to point out how intimately man is linked to the plant biosphere, even though the vast fields of food and pharmaceuticals were consciously not considered. He has endeavored to explain the properties of plant materials and their processing as thoroughly as possible but in terms that are understandable to the interested layman. This information is of vial importance: the quality of our lives, our long-term survival critically depends on protecting the sources of plant materials that must be used in an intellgent, sustainable way. This book addresses all those interested in our natural environment and the plant products nature supplies" -- Back cover

La 4e de couverture indique : "Ils sont omniprésents dans nos corps et notre environnement. Sans eux, nos forêts, notre climat et même l'histoire de notre espèce ne seraient pas les mêmes. La médecine et la gastronomie s'intéressent à leurs vertus et à leurs méfaits depuis plus de treize mille ans. Ni animaux ni végétaux, les champignons forment un règne à part, un univers fascinant de plus de 100 000 variétés. Robert Hofrichter nous dévoile l'écosystème le plus mystérieux du vivant. Dans la lignée de "La vie secrète des arbres" de Peter Wohlleben, l'auteur nourrit son livre de références scientifiques et d'anecdotes étonnantes. Il nous fait découvrir un monde insoupçonné. Vous ne cueillerez plus jamais des girolles, des cèpes, des  pleurotes ou des chanterelles comme avant !"
