Winged Worlds : Common Spaces of Avian-Human Lives Paperback / softback
Edited by Olga Petri, Michael Guida
Part of the Routledge Human-Animal Studies Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This edited collection explores our often-surprising modes of co-inhabiting the cultural and aerial worlds of birds.
It focuses on our encounters with non-captive birds and the cultural geographies of feathered flight.
This book offers a timely contribution to the more-than-human geographies of flight, space and territory.
The chapters support an ethics of attention as a new basis for the conservation and cultivation of aerial habitats.
Contributions adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the patterns of intrusion and escape that shape our encounters with birds and unsettle our traditionally terrestrial concepts of space.
Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of our shared lives with birds, ranging from scientific observation to the social media-enabled spectacle of co-habitation and spatial competition. Written in a thought-provoking style, this book seeks to address a dearth of critical perspectives on the cultural geographies of flight and its implications for the ways in which we understand common spaces around and above us in the context of any effort at conservation.
