These seemingly distinct phenomena, often analyzed and discussed separately, in fact share the same roots. The text introduces a cast of different animals, both fictional and tangibly real, whose personal opinions and experiences— informed by animal rights and ethics, biopower, geopolitics, and necropolitics—give credence to the hypothesis that the human colonization of the natural territory of the virus enabled the pandemic to spread in the first place. These animal voices seek for a type of worlding that provides an equal footing for humans and non-humans, starting by exchanging self-interest for empathic non-understanding and selfless reciprocity: from the isolation of thinking and acting in a vacuum, to a world continuum.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737418932497,"sku":"NGR9789493148314","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9493148319.jpg?v=1751319995"},{"product_id":"worlding-ecologies-book-niekolaas-johannes-lekkerkerk-9789493246348","title":"Worlding Ecologies","description":"How can art, science and institutional practices counteract the negative consequences of climate and ecological breakdown, as to further the need for systemic change? Worlding Ecologies serves as an anthology of examples and wayward navigational tool, assembling eighteen authors exploring this question from their diverse backgrounds-as scientists, artists, philosophers, activists, theorists and curators-to rigorously approach urgent ecological challenges, including climate breakdown, pollution, biodiversity loss, environmental and social justice. This reader emphasizes the fundamental role of art as a vehicle and support structure for intersectional ecological thought. Whilst navigating imagination, worlding-possibility, science fact, social justice and climate action, Worlding Ecologies prompts a fundamental role for art to create the blueprints for regenerative and sustainable more-than-human worlds. Structured alongside three sections- Science and Climate Truth, Activism and Climate Justice and Art and Institutional Ecosystems-this reader moves from field-work-taking to patchwork-making, unifying the arts with science, politics and ecology into a Held of synthetic thought.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51066818658577,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51066821083409,"sku":"NIN9789493246348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9493246345.jpg?v=1750808330"},{"product_id":"standard-book-of-noun-verb-exhibition-book-niekolaas-johannes-lekkerkerk-9789491677748","title":"The Standard Book of Noun-Verb Exhibition","description":"The Standard Book of Noun-Verb Exhibition Grammar is a partial compendium of the different modes of being that inhabit exhibitions.  These different modes of being, often placed outside the realm of art objects proper, are described and activated here as crucial players in the world of contemporary art.   Maximizing a poetic resourcefulness, this book proposes the exhibition as an ecology full of things that are infinitely more dimensional than their ascribed functionality would lead us to believe, and creates a space where species meet, where ontological and epistemological registers clash, overlap, and contaminate each other, where the living and inert, organic and inorganic exchange properties, qualities, and performances.   Ultimately this book aims to show that what revolves around, within, and beyond any given system, resolves to be just as serious and important as what that system aims to convey.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51067760836881,"sku":"NIN9789491677748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51552121291025,"sku":"NGR9789491677748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9491677748.jpg?v=1751385562"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-niekolaas-johannes-lekkerkerk.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
