Interspecies Communication and the Problems of Translation
Across law and science, interspecies translation has emerged as a consequential aspiration: from legal efforts to grant rights to animals and rivers, to AI-powered attempts to decode cetacean communication through bioacoustic machine learning. I examine the Cetacean Translation Initiative (Project CETI) as a case study in the constitution of such aspirations, arguing that AI-assisted interspecies translation constitutes the parties to the relatio…
Ecological Translation
What if humans could speak directly with nonhuman animals? Across law and science, interspecies translation is emerging as a key preoccupation: from legal efforts to grant ‘rights of nature’ to rivers and forests, to AI-powered attempts to decode animal communication through bioacoustics and remote sensing. This article argues these efforts do not merely represent nonhuman entities but actively constitute new forms of political subjectivity of hu…
Anthropocene angst
In March 2024, the Anthropocene Working Group’s proposal for a formal Anthropocene Series/Epoch of the Geologic Time Scale was formally rejected by the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy. What does the failed formalization effort reveal about the relationship between science and normativity under conditions of ‘climate crisis’? Drawing on four years of ethnographic observation of the Anthropocene Working Group, this article explains how the…
Law and Geology for the Anthropocene
The Anthropocene has been observed as an opportunity to generate new legal imaginaries capable of revising incumbent assumptions of legal and political thought. What opportunities do such ambitions afford for communication between geological and legal thought? Responding to Birrell & Matthews attempt to ‘re-story a law for , rather than of , the Anthropocene,’ I wish to describe some ways in which the Anthropocene Working Group, who are pursuing …
