Editat de Ana Paula Motta, Andrew Meirion Jonesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iul 2026
Chapters describe the nuanced engagements between humans, animals, plants and landscapes, challenging conventional anthropocentric perspectives and paving the way for a deeper understanding of multispecies relations. This volume navigates the contested territory of aesthetics, examines the intersections of art and anthropology, and sheds light on cross-cultural and cross-species interpretations. Through insightful essays and analyses, readers are invited to explore the theoretical and methodological challenges within multispecies worlds, while highlighting the influence of Indigenous knowledge on our perceptions and theories of non-human entities. It includes contributions from artists, archaeologists, historians and environmental humanities scholars.
This volume will be an essential resource for those seeking to expand their understanding of art, performance, and the intricate relationships between humans and non-humans. Whether exploring the complexities of nature/culture dichotomies or reimagining the boundaries of aesthetics, it offers a compelling journey into the vibrant tapestry of multispecies aesthetics.

Recenzii
"Sensing Multispecies Encounters is wonderful in its scope in terms of thinking across species, cultures, landscapes and temporalities. This volume also pushes disciplinary boundaries to include archaeology, anthropology and art, while allowing for different sensorial and multispecies conceptual and methodological approaches".
Natsha Fijn, Associate Professor, The Australian National University
“This volume re-evaluates long-standing debates on aesthetics from a post-humanist and multispecies standpoint, to offer a powerful and necessary intervention for scholars seeking to move beyond anthropocentric models. The collection senses out the groundwork for acknowledging the agency of non-human beings and shifting paradigms for knowledge production, a worlding characterized by generative relationships, alive with camelids, silver-fish and kangaroos. The book's strength lies in its diverse, intra-active, situated explorations, bridging disciplines including archaeology, anthropology, art, history, and environmental humanities.”
Louisa Minkin, Reader Senior Lecturer in Visual Art Practices – University of the Arts London, UK
“In the growing movement to extend ways of knowing other-than-humans within various modes of relationality, this theoretically grounded collection brings art, materiality, and performance into clear focus. Its interdisciplinary case studies provide fresh means of conceptualizing how aesthetics can be seen within unfolding relationships across species and among humans, landscapes, and materials. Extending models of (human) cross-cultural aesthetics to include multispecies interactions offers a welcomed and decisive way forward for scholars, educators, and students to explore sensing multispecies encounters.”
Gala Argent, Psychology/Animal Studies Faculty Emerita – Eastern Kentucky University, USA
“This interdisciplinary collection dismantles nature/culture dichotomies, offering powerful arguments that beauty and aesthetics are not just the purview of human cultural production but generative and relational inter-species contact zones. Complex webs of human-animal relations, art, archeology and storytelling are braided into culturally diverse and transtemporal case studies. From ancient rock art to contemporary artistic practices, these essays are your thinking companions in moving away from the anthropocentric and towards the ecocentric.”
