A Shifty Island, or How We Learned to Stop Worrying About Mosquitoes and Love Partial Knowledge
This article examines knowledge produced during an interdisciplinary field trip to Persin Island, a politically charged and ecologically dynamic fluvial island on the Danube. Our collective of environmental humanities and sciences scholars came to describe Persin as shifty: an environment where spatial, temporal, and categorical boundaries never fully stabilize but are continually reconfigured by ecological processes, political projects, and huma…

El surgimiento de la etnografía multiespecie
Los antropólogos se han dedicado, al menos desde Franz Boas, a investigar las relaciones entre la naturaleza y la cultura. En los albores del siglo XXI, este perdurable interés se ha visto influido por algunos giros nuevos. Una cohorte emergente de "etnógrafos multiespecie" empezó a hacer hincapié en la subjetividad y la agencia de los organismos cuyas vidas están intricadas con las de los humanos. La etnografía multiespecie surgió en la intersec…
Mapping Microbial Selves
Microbes exist everywhere on, in and around us. They are both ubiquitous and largely invisible, at least until they make their presence, or absence, felt. Recent years have seen a heightened sensitivity to microbial threats in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to antibiotics. At the same time, there is also a growing interest in the microbiome as a source of 'wild immunology'. From this…

Impure Hopes
The experiment in China that produced the world's first babies with "edited" DNA comes out of an international research program aimed at producing an HIV cure. An atmosphere of secrecy surrounded this experiment at the edge of the law. Volunteers who signed up for the experiment were HIV-positive tonzghi-gay and bisexual "comrades" already living with closely guarded secrets and conflicted desires. Impure hopes-a mix of heterosexual dreams about …
Living Machines Go Wild
Every year thousands of young people exhibit designs for genetically modified organisms at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition in Boston. Regarding living creatures as "machines" is nothing new. Even still, life is being remade in novel and surprising ways as iGEM students use increasingly fast and cheap genetic engineering tools. Designs for living machines that seek to optimize biology are ironically generating n…

Chemosociality in Multispecies Worlds
Chemosocial communities have formed in Sydney, Australia, as a result of encounters with industrial pollution. If biosociality involves social relationships that emerge from biological conditions, then chemosociality involves altered, attenuated, or augmented relationships that emerge with chemical exposures. Some social groups have coalesced around place-based political action, while other chemosocial associations have proved to be ephemeral, ev…

Queer Love, Gender Bending Bacteria, and Life after the Anthropocene
The timeline of the Anthropocene - a geological epoch that Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer say began in the late 18th century with the invention of the steam engine - seems like a brief and inconsequential blip, against the time scales embodied by the microbial communities. Wolbachia bacteria predate Anthropos by some 150 million years, and will likely outlast us. Wolbachia bacteria are worthy of their own geological epoch because they offer a f…
Feeding the flock
Wildlife is persisting in urban areas of Australia even though white settler colonialism has resulted in the large-scale destruction of forested landscapes. While many bird species are in decline, the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo has found emergent opportunities for flourishing within the built environment. Cockatoos are actively generating relationally constituted spaces, drawing humans into urban ecosystems that are 'more-than-human' places, abunda…

Lively Multispecies Communities, Deadly Racial Assemblages, and the Promise of Justice
Indigenous people from West Papua, a territory under Indonesian rule, are foraging for food in spaces by the side of the road, in the ruins of recently logged forests. Living on the margins of market economies and transportation infrastructures comes with opportunities as well as risks. Emergent ecosystems are teeming with grasshoppers, katydids, praying mantises, and other edible insects, as well as marsupial game animals. Children are finding h…

TheXenopusPregnancy Test
There is an appreciable distance between the biochemistry of being pregnant and the experience of recognizing oneself as pregnant-a speculative gap that technology can serve to narrow or widen depending on how one chooses to choreograph an ontological state. Conducting an outmoded pregnancy test with live Xenopus frogs, we probed the contours of this gap. As we took an antiquated bioassay out of medical archives, we conducted a performative exper…
Multispecies Studies
Scholars in the humanities and social sciences are experimenting with novel ways of engaging with worlds around us. Passionate immersion in the lives of fungi, microorganisms, animals, and plants is opening up new understandings, relationships, and accountabilities. This introduction to the special issue offers an overview of the emerging field of multispecies studies. Unsettling given notions of species, it explores a broad terrain of possible m…

From 'Stone-Age' to 'Real-Time
There are probably no other people on earth to whom the image of the 'stone-age' is so persistently attached than the inhabitants of the island of New Guinea, which is divided into independent Papua New Guinea and the western part of the island, known today as Papua and West Papua. From 'Stone-Age' to 'Real-Time' examines the forms of agency, frictions and anxieties the
Species
Taxonomists, who describe new species, are acutely aware of how political, economic, and ecological forces bring new forms of life into being. Conducting ethnographic research among taxonomic specialists - experts who bring order to categories of animals, plants, fungi, and microbes - I found that they pay careful attention to the ebb and flow of agency in multispecies worlds. Emergent findings from genomics and information technologies are trans…

Hope in blasted landscapes
Insights about biocultural hope emerged at the Multispecies Salon, an art exhibit in New Orleans.

Living with Parasites in Palo Verde National Park
Bruno Latour has tried to bring a parliamentary democracy to the domain of nature. Wading through the swamps of Palo Verde, a national park in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica, and wandering onto neighbouring agricultural lands, I failed to find a central place where people were speaking for nature. Departing from a failed attempt to speak for another species (the fringe-toed foam frog), this paper considers how diverging values and obligati…

Freedom in Entangled Worlds
Eben Kirksey first went to West Papua, the Indonesian-controlled half of New Guinea, as an exchange student in 1998. His later study of West Papua's resistance to the Indonesian occupiers and the forces of globalization morphed as he discovered that collaboration, rather than resistance, was the primary strategy of this dynamic social movement. Accompanying indigenous activists to Washington, London, and the offices of the oil giant BP, Kirksey s…
Criminal Collaborations
US intelligence reports linked the Indonesian military to the August 2002 murder of two American schoolteachers and an Indonesian in Timika, Papua province. Restrictions on the US Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and International Military Education and Training (IMET) for Indonesia came to be linked to the investigation of this murder. However, a Jakarta court subsequently sentenced a Papuan villager, Antonius Wamang, to life in prison for leadi…
