“…This call is being answered. Recent work explicitly engages the political, through gender (Doubleday and Adams, 2019; Must and Hovorka, 2019; Patchin, 2020), justice (Brown et al, 2019; Pitas and Shcheglovitova, 2019), capital (Barua, 2019; Klein, 2019; Satizábal and Dressler, 2019), biopolitics (Margulies, 2019a; Wakefield, 2019; Wrigley, 2018) and the ongoing consequences of colonialism (Bluwstein, 2018; Isaacs and Otruba, 2019; Margulies, 2019a; Pratt, 2019; Wilson, 2019). Second, as in other fields of geography, relational approaches are being widely applied in animal geographies.…”

Humans kill and care for animals in a multitude of contexts. These themes – killing and caring – form the focus of this second report on animal geographies research. Most notably, killing and caring take place through conservation and the production and consumption of food. Other realms of recent research include killing through climate change, formal arrangements of care, how animals are made killable, and the significance of the individual and collective. Further to these two major themes, the review identifies other approaches to animal geographies research in recent years; namely, political and relational. Finally, the propensity for humans to kill and care for animals is highlighted by crisis. I open and close the review by considering connections between animals and two contemporary emergencies: the fires that burned south-eastern Australia over summer 2019–20 and the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…In this sense, it bears some similarity to conceptions of politics that emphasise receptiveness and 'response-ability' (e.g. Barad, 2007, Beausoleil, 2015Brown et al, 2019;Haraway, 2008;Joronen and Häkli, 2017). However, while these works connect the responding nature of politics to the ever-present prevalence of the other (Barad, 2014: 161), multispecies responsibilities (Haraway, 2008: 88-93), affective relations between bodies (Thrift, 2008: 175-176) or to the ontologising event (Joronen and Häkli, 2017: 572-573), our concept is connected to the existential condition of woundedness itself.…”

Vulnerability and its politics: Precarity and the woundedness of power

This article is an attempt to unwrite our current disciplinary enamourment with power. We begin from life’s woundedness, which we argue engenders a limit condition that both precedes power (vulnerability is the origin of power) and exceeds power (no power can ever resolve the problem of woundedness). To illustrate this, we introduce the ‘politics of the wound’: a perspective on politics that begins, not from a pre-existing ontology of forces and relations, but from the condition of striving, in infinitely generous and yet fragile ways, to claim sovereignty against the incurable wound of being a living being.

“…In this regard, we have much to learn and gain from Indigenous frameworks, practices, and protocols of MSJ, and ways of co‐becoming with (e.g., Country et al, 2019; Winter, 2020), predicated as they are on genealogies of deep relationality (Stewart‐Harawira, 2020). These are palpable, for instance, in the co‐agency between reindeer and Sami herders when negotiating mobility and spatial justice in Norway (Brown et al, 2019) and in the “affective ecologies” and grounded ways of knowing ecological interdependencies among Indigenous and ethnic‐minority migrants in Darwin, Australia (Lobo, 2019). Such learning will require deep examination of the ethical‐episto‐ontological foundations of MSJ and a humble orientation of theory to avoid perpetrating the harms of appropriation (Todd, 2016), while cultivating the conditions for inclusive flourishing.…”

Multispecies justice: Climate‐just futures with, for and beyond humans

In 2019, the climate emergency entered mainstream debates. The normative frame of climate justice as conceived in academia, policy arenas, and grassroots action, although imperative and growing in popularity across climate movements, is no longer adequate to address this emergency. This is for two reasons: first, as a framing for the problem, current notions of climate justice are insufficient to overcome the persistent silencing of voices belonging to multiple “others”; and second, they do not question, and thus implicitly condone, human exceptionalism and the violence it enacts, historically and in this era of the Anthropocene. Therefore, we advocate for the concept of multispecies justice to enrich climate justice in order to more effectively confront the climate crisis. The advantage of reconceptualizing climate justice in this way is that it becomes more inclusive; it acknowledges the differential histories and practices of social, environmental, and ecological harm, while opening just pathways into uncertain futures. A multispecies justice lens expands climate justice by decentering the human and by recognizing the everyday interactions that bind individuals and societies to networks of close and distant others, including other people and more‐than‐human beings. Such a relational lens provides a vital scientific, practical, material, and ethical road map for navigating the complex responsibilities and politics in the climate crisis. Most importantly, it delineates what genuine flourishing could mean, what systemic transformations may involve (and with whom), how to live with inevitable and possibly intolerable losses, and how to prefigure and enact alternative and just futures.
