Kin by Thom Van Dooren
The contributors to Kin draw on the work of anthropologist Deborah Bird Rose (1946-2018), a foundational voice in environmental humanities, to examine the relationships of interdependence and obligation between human and nonhuman lives.
“Deborah Bird Rose created an expansive scholarly field underpinned by interconnections, the affirmation of life, and love and responsibility as analyticsInvited to such a challenging field, the stories in this book carefully labor across a heterogeneity of forms of life and nonlife to reshuffle biological, political, and historical boundaries and creatively open possibility for a plethora of interconnected differences, pragmatic boundaries without a center. Caring for the Earth as Country, this artfully crafted collection meets Rose’s most urgent demand: becoming a witness of death that asserts life through an ethical practice that is always already ecological.” -- Marisol de la Cadena, author of * Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice across Andean Worlds *
"Rose’s thought is timely now more than ever. This collection is a testimony to the vitality of their work for the present and challenges ahead that will involve relearning to be one among lifescapes of other beings rather than a social atom." -- Christopher Blakley * Science as Culture *
"I was provoked and challenged by the diversity of this collection. . . ." -- David Moore * Indigenous Religious Traditions *
