Feathered Entanglements: Human-Bird Relations in the Anthropocene
Editat de Scott E. Simon, Frédéric Laugranden Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iul 2025
As they migrated across great distances, ancient humans may have used birdsong and bird sightings to find food and water in unseen territory. Today, attending to birds helps scientists track not only avian migration but also environmental change. Birds remain our sentinels.
Feathered Entanglements offers a rich tapestry of human–bird relations across the Indo-Pacific. In this era of uncontrolled industrialization, we have grown increasingly disconnected from the natural world. This book examines how birds feature in the daily life, symbolic systems, and material culture of humans, from pigeon keeping on the rooftops of Amman to the rituals of Indigenous peoples in Taiwan. Through these examples, the authors reveal how we can learn to live with other species amid the challenges of the Anthropocene.
In a time of intensifying ecological crisis, we need, more than ever, to protect and appreciate nonhuman lives. Feathered Entanglements embraces the connection between humans, birds, and our shared world.

Recenzii
"A rich and varied exploration of bird–human relationships. . . . intellectually stimulating and conducive to reflection on one’s own relationships with birds. From the Ibaloy people’s belief that birds lack foreknowledge of human events yet serve as important messengers, to Hitchcock’s 1963 film The Birds, to the foundational theories of thinkers, such as Jakob von Uexküll and Tim Ingold, the book offers something with which every reader can engage."
