Recenzii

“Nurturing Alternative Futures engages in uniquely creative and critical ways with the situatedness and interconnectedness of more-than-human entanglements in an age of planetary unravelling. Centring the dynamics of proximity and distance in the (un)making of biocultural lifeworlds, its richly textured and varied contributions offer urgent avenues for nourishing alternative futures, anchored in an atmosphere of multispecies care, concern, and justice.” – Sophie Chao, author of In the Shadow of the Palms (2022)
“This critical and imaginative collection invites us to embrace futures that are teeming with probiotic viruses, Indigenous companion species, donkeys, peccaries, microbial cultures, aquatic multispecies assemblages, and forested ecotones. As market forces destroy cherished lifeways, this collection invites us to make worlds with new generative stories.” – Eben Kirksey, author of Emergent Ecologies (2015)
