Die individuellen Persönlichkeiten von Hühnern; ein Nashorn, das sein Leben lang immer wieder einen Menschen besucht, um gemeinsam Zeit zu verbringen; eine unerwartete Begegnung zwischen einer Katze und einem Vogel; Hunde, die in einer zukünftigen Welt ihre Gemeinschaft durch Geschichten strukturieren, die sie einander erzählen. Begegnungen mit (anderen) Tieren versammelt literarische, wissenschaftliche und essayistische Texte zu ungewöhnlichen Begegnungen zwischen Tieren und Menschen – mal in stärker interagierender, mal mehr in beobachtender Rolle –, denen gemeinsam ist, dass sie neue Formen der Wahrnehmung, von Offenheit und Empathie ermöglichen, einfordern und damit unser gewohntes Denken, unsere Ordnung der Dinge in Frage stellen. Tiere erscheinen als soziale Wesen miteinander und mit Menschen, die sie, wie die Autor*innen, als eigenständige Subjekte ernst nehmen. Die Texte geben Einblicke in das soziale und kulturelle Leben von Pavianen und Raben oder berichten von der sprachlosen Kommunikation mit Waschbären und Nabelschweinen, vom Lachen mit Delfinen, und nicht zuletzt davon, wie sich Menschen in diesen Begegnungen mit (anderen) Tieren selbst verändern. Die Anthologie versammelt Texte aus den letzten 30 Jahren von zumeist US-amerikanischen Autor*innen in der Übersetzung von Susanne Opfermann: Kurzgeschichten von Kij Johnson, Ursula K. Le Guin und Gregory Blake Smith; Erlebnisberichte von Craig Childs, Barbara Kingsolver, Anna Merz und Stacy Young; und wissenschaftliche Texte von Karen Davis, Toni G. Frohoff und Barbara Smuts. Die unterschiedlichen Genres ergänzen und kommentieren einander; verbindend sind die besonderen, unterhaltsamen und nachdenklichen Erfahrungen von Begegnung, die sie vermitteln. Sie schaffen ungewöhnliche Perspektiven darauf, was wir von anderen Tieren lernen und wie wir gemeinsam in unserer nicht-nur-menschlichen Welt (über-)leben können.

Shibori Recreated looks at the modern place of the craft and its use in art, design and fashion. Through interviews with designers and artists who are recreating and reinventing the ancient Japanese art of shibori in different ways, its adaptability and contemporary relevance will be understood, and the fine line between tradition and modernity appreciated. While the term 'modern shibori' is much a contradiction in itself, this book hopes to show you how a respect for a unique and amazing traditional craft can allow it to live on in a fast-paced, technologically advanced modern world. Modern shibori exists all over the world in wonderfully unique forms that designers and craftspeople have developed to suit their own art. This book is a platform to promote modern shibori on a world stage and its place in design today. Shibori contains interviews and a photographic journal of diverse artisans, designers, fashion identities and textile collectors and showcases the beauty of this unique craft and the journey the artist has taken with a simple piece of cloth. The book explores the various uses of the ancient craft and the versatility of fabric manipulation in the digital age. The ancient craft has not been lost, replaced or corrupted but reinvented and recreated to ensure its relevance and survival in the 21st Century.

The original edition of Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs became a blueprint for people seeking a coherent picture of the U.S. poultry industry, as well as a handbook for animal rights activists seeking to develop effective strategies to expose and relieve the plight of chickens. This new edition tells where things stand in a new century in which avian influenza, food poisoning, global warming, genetic engineering, and the expansion of poultry and egg production and consumption are growing concerns in the mainstream population.

An Inside Look at the Modern Poultry Industry

Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs

This scholarly and authoritative book examines the cultural and literal history, as well as the natural history and biological needs and concerns of turkeys. Davis explores how turkeys came to be seen as birds who were not only the epitome of failure or stupidity but also the suitable centerpiece of the celebration of freedom in America itself--Thanksgiving. She examines the many varieties of turkeys and uncovers the methods by which millions of turkeys are raised, fattened, and slaughtered on farms around America today. Davis takes us back to European folklore about turkeys, the myths, fairytales, and downright lies told about turkeys and their habits and habitats. She shows how turkeys in the wild have complex lives and family units, and how they were an integral part of Native American and continental cultures and landscape before the Europeans arrived. Finally, Davis draws conclusions about our paradoxical, complex, and "bestial" relationship not just with turkeys, but with all birds, and thus with all other animals. She examines how our treatment of animals shapes our other values about ourselves, our relationship with other human beings, and our attitude toward the land, nation, and the world.
