The notion of Endangerment stands at the heart of a network of
concepts, values and practices dealing with objects and beings
considered threatened by extinction, and with the procedures aimed
at preserving them. Usually animated by a sense of urgency and
citizenship, identifying endangered entities involves evaluating an
impending threat and opens the way for preservation strategies.
Endangerment, Biodiversity and Culture looks at some of the
fundamental ways in which this process involves science, but also
more than science: not only data and knowledge and institutions,
but also affects and values. Focusing on an "endangerment
sensibility," it encapsulates tensions between the normative and
the utilitarian, the natural and the cultural. The chapters situate
that specifically modern sensibility in historical perspective, and
examine central aspects of its recent and present forms.This timely
volume offers the most cutting-edge insights into the Environmental
Humanities for researchers working in Environmental Studies,
History, Anthropology, Sociology and Science and Technology
Studies.
