A new approach to writing culture has arrived: multispecies
ethnography. Plants, animals, fungi, and microbes appear alongside
humans in this singular book about natural and cultural history.
Anthropologists have collaborated with artists and biological
scientists to illuminate how diverse organisms are entangled in
political, economic, and cultural systems. Contributions from
influential writers and scholars, such as Dorion Sagan, Karen
Barad, Donna Haraway, and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, are featured along
with essays by emergent artists and cultural anthropologists.
Delectable mushrooms flourishing in the aftermath of ecological
disaster, microbial cultures enlivening the politics and value of
food, and nascent life forms running wild in the age of
biotechnology all figure in this curated collection of essays and
artifacts. Recipes provide instructions on how to cook acorn mush,
make cheese out of human milk, and enliven forests after they have
been clear-cut. The Multispecies Salon investigates messianic
dreams, environmental nightmares, and modest sites of biocultural
hope. For additional materials see the companion website:
