In Loss and Wonder at the World's End, Laura A. Ogden brings
together animals, people, and things—from beavers, stolen
photographs, lichen, American explorers, and birdsong—to catalog
the ways environmental change and colonial history are entangled in
the Fuegian Archipelago of southernmost Chile and Argentina.
Repeated algal blooms have closed fisheries in the archipelago.
Glaciers are in retreat. Extractive industries such as commercial
forestry, natural gas production, and salmon farming along with the
introduction of nonnative species are rapidly transforming
assemblages of life. Ogden archives forms of loss—including
territory, language, sovereignty, and life itself—as well as
forms of wonder, or moments when life continues to flourish even in
the ruins of these devastations. Her account draws on long-term
ethnographic research with settler and Indigenous communities;
archival photographs; explorer journals; and experiments in natural
history and performance studies. Loss and Wonder at the World's End
frames environmental change as imperialism's shadow, a darkness
cast over the earth in the wake of other losses.
