“…The relational approach championed by Latour, Callon, Law and others has had an immense influence on the theoretical and methodological development of animal geography since the start (Emel et al, 2002). ANT in particular, as a more-than-human ontology, has become widely used within the field, as a way of destabilizing established fixities and divisions (notably between culture and nature, human and non-human), of emphasizing relational practice and non-human agency (Sayes, 2014) and of revealing multiplicities (Bear and Eden, 2008;Davies, 1999;Jones, 2003;Law and Mol, 2008;Lulka, 2008;Nimmo, 2011;Rodger et al, 2009;Taylor, 2011;Taylor and Carter, 2013;Whatmore and Thorne, 1998). The animal -be it sheep (Law and Mol, 2008) or lobster (Johnson, 2010), octopus (Bear, 2011) or dinoflagelate (Shrader, 2010) -is not only redefined as a component of the social (Latour, 2007), but the very process of definition is fundamentally altered.…”
