Avian Aesthetics in Literature and Culture: Birds and Humans in the
Popular Imagination closes the gap between ornithological and
humanities knowledge. This book contains fifteen innovative essays
that bridge various environment-focused perspectives and
methodologies in order to include birds in current conversations
within the field of animal studies. This collection challenges
species centrism, advances a biodiverse ontology, and embraces
bird-centered topics as diverse as gaming, comic strips, window
collisions, conservation literature, youth birding, mourning
theory, and the "Birds Aren't Real" movement.
Misfits are often confused with outcasts. Yet misfits rather find
themselves in-between that which fits and that which does not. This
volume is interested in this slipperiness of misfits and explores
the blockages and the promises of such movements, as well as the
processes and conditions that produce misfits, the means that
enable them to undo their denomination as misfits, and the
practices that turn those who fit into misfits, and vice versa.
This collection of essays on misfit children produces transmissible
motions across and engages in scholarly conversations that unfold
betwixt and between in order to make rigid concepts twist and
twirl, and ultimately fail to fit.
