Description: Hedgehogs, Killing, and Kindness by Laura McLauchlan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Hedgehogs, Killing, and Kindness explores the complex ways in which various human actors interact with hedgehogs and other species, and the multifaceted modes of care--sometimes violent, often ambiguous--in contemporary species conservation and wildlife rehabilitation"-- Publisher Description How our understanding of and relationship to hedgehogs reveals the complex interactions between culture, technology, bodies, conservation, and care for other animals.How our understanding of and relationship to hedgehogs reveals the complex interactions between culture, technology, bodies, conservation, and care for other animals.Across the globe, the bumbling hedgehog has been framed in a variety of ways throughout history-as a symbol of both good and bad luck, of transformation, of vengeance, and of wit and reincarnation. In recent years, it has also, in different parts of the world, been viewed as a pest for its predation on ground-nesting birds and has thus become a target for culling. In Hedgehogs, Killing, and Kindness, Laura McLauchlan explores how human actors have interacted with hedgehogs and other species through time and attends to the questions these interactions raise when it comes to ending and preserving life in the name of species conservation and wildlife rehabilitation.Grounded in rich empirical material and careful critique, Hedgehogs, Killing, and Kindness traces the authors own more-than-human transformative experience and elucidates how care is shaped by and shapes various cultural and material forces. McLauchlan urges us to rethink and reflect on how cares are normalized, and at what and whose expense; what it might mean to care in more responsive ways; and finally, whether it is possible to kill with kindness in this rapidly changing and conflicting world. A valuable addition to the understanding and practices of multispecies ethnography, environmental anthropology, and the broader environmental humanities, this book sheds a necessary light on the fraught space between caring for and killing to care for other-than-human animals on our one precious planet. Author Biography Laura McLauchlan is an anthropologist with expertise in both ethnographic illustration and more-than-human approaches. Her work focuses on the role of learned practices and cultural concepts in supporting generative connection. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow in anthropology at Macquarie University.
