Animating the urban: Between infrastructure and encounter
Cities play an increasingly crucial role in addressing the accelerating planetary biodiversity crisis.In this special issue, the authors offer generative tools grounded in an other-than-human standpoint inviting us to "think cities" differently.They re-examine the right to the city and a more-than-human commons; evaluate why and when species become "killable"; and rethink territoriality, attending to the ways other-than humans make and remake cit…
Invisible Animals: Exploring Public Discourses to Understand the Contemporary Status of Donkeys in Britain
Established representations of donkeys in western literature and popular culture have often been negative, portraying the animals as stupid, inept, and bad tempered. To understand whether such representations are reflected in contemporary understandings of donkeys, we constructed a digitized body of texts (a corpus) from contemporary (public-facing) news articles and (public-produced) social media posts about donkeys, which we analyzed using quan…
Learning With Donkeys – A “More-Than-Human” Approach to Animal-Assisted Activities
The last twenty years have seen increased interest in animal-assisted therapy ( AAT ) and animal-assisted activity ( AAA ). However, there has been little research exploring these interactions as experienced by the animals themselves. In this paper, we bring a “more-than-human” lens to concepts and practices within AAA / T , synthesizing ideas about animal sentience and subjectivity that have emerged within animal geography scholarship and animal…
Resilience and the role of equids in humanitarian crises
In times of crisis, working equids can play a pivotal role in supporting vulnerable people in lower middle income countries. However, their contributions are rarely acknowledged in academic research, media reporting, international policy, and development initiatives. This paper explores the involvement of working equids in humanitarian emergencies, notably those pertaining to conflict, drought, climate change, and natural hazards. It presents 'cr…
Between Freedom and Abandonment: Social Representations of Free-Roaming Donkeys in the Brazilian Northeast
The presence of free-roaming donkeys on Brazilian Northeastern roads has significant welfare and safety implications for both humans and animals. Working donkeys have played an important historical role in regional development and are considered a cultural symbol of the Brazilian Northeast, as manifested in popular songs, tales, and other arts. Their replacement with motorized vehicles and machines has, however, led to their underuse and their pr…
Entanglement, autonomy and the co-production of landscapes: Relational geographies for free-roaming ‘feral’ donkeys (Equus asinus) in a rapidly changing world
More-than-human territoriality: The contested spaces and beastly places of Canada geese in Europe’s largest urban wetland
Late modern societies have seen a surge of interest in “urban nature”, with increased efforts to protect existing nature spaces as well as invite new natures into cities through restoration, renaturing and/or greening. However, to date, there has been little discussion on the kind of nature that gets promoted through these agendas and what the implications are for unwanted or “illegitimate” creatures. Through empirical work at Europe’s largest ur…
Auto-rewilding in Post-industrial Cities: The Case of Inland Cormorants in Urban Britain
The last forty years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) moving inland away from British coastlines. Britain's largest inland colony currently reside at Walthamstow Wetlands, a nature reserve and functional reservoir system in northeast London, recently branded ‘Europe's largest urban wetland'. Here, great cormorants are embroiled in contested ideas of nature. Celebrated by conservationists for th…
Feral Political Ecologies: The Biopolitics, Temporalities and Spatialities of Rewilding
In an era of escalating environmental change and degradation, rewilding has emerged as an\ninnovative, hopeful, and increasingly popular form of conservation capturing the imagination\nof both publics and professionals alike, but equally courting controversy (Lorimer 2015;\nJepson 2018; Pettorelli et al. 2018). Rewilding is aligned with restorative practices promoting\nlandscape fluidity, connectivity and non-equilibrium ecologies (Manning et al.…
