Multispecies

“To acknowledge this predatory dimension of nature, to recognize both danger and fear, is no less critical to a multispecies perspective than is welcoming among our human world the multitude of worlds composed by our companions” (Davis and Turpin 2015, 13).

“Specifically, unlike either the Anthropocene or the Capitalocene, the Chthulucene is made up of ongoing multispecies stories and practices of becoming-with in times that remain at stake, in precarious times, in which the world is not finished and the sky has not fallen—yet” (Haraway 2016).

“This sense of self as part of the planetary Earth System, as opposed to guardian, protector and/or defiler of it, is precisely what many today have argued for as the beginning of a solution to the ecological problems facing us, ‘us’ conceived as multi-species, and ‘solution’ conceived as partial, and situated” (Ballard and Linden 2019, 143).
