“…4 Such "denied dependency on a subordinated other" in the words of Val Plumwood (1993, p. 41), relates here as well as to other pairs where one aspect becomes dominating rather than complimentary or in partnership. Compare with McGilchrist (2009) and Eisler & Fry (2019). 5 This reiterates the perennial opposition in western thought between philosophy (discourse, truth) and rhetoric (style, pathos, the ability to persuade).…”

Human music and language are two systems of communication and expression that, while historically considered to overlap, have become increasingly divergent in their approach and study. Music and language almost certainly co-evolved and emerged from the same semiotic field, and this relationship as well as co-origin are actively researched and debated. For the sake of evaluating the semiotic content of zoomusicology, we investigate music from a ‘bottom-up’ biosemiotic functionalist account considering iconic, indexical, and symbolic forms of meaning not in a hierarchy but according to their effects on agents. Such an approach avoids overintellectualizing the representational aspects of music, and instead inverts, as it were, the traditional hierarchy of semiotic categories to produce illocutionary effects. Understanding aesthetics and action not as a priori separate but rather fundamentally co-arising elements of the same events. The focus of musicality again returns to interpretation and how semiosis precipitates expression.

“…We also include Eastern cultures and sciences (Coll, 2021) in this cluster, with their emphasis on nondualist philosophy and a more integrated view of the mind-body-spirit relationship. Other theories include the feminist notion of partnership over dominance (Eisler & Fry, 2019); economic models such as management of the commons (Nordman, 2021); democratic ownership (Next System Project, n.d.); and the ecological ceiling (Meadows et al, 1972;Raworth, 2017;Stockholm Environment Institute, n.d.). These areas of scholarship-grounded in legitimate science-expand greatly upon the fundamentals of living systems.…”

“…Social-ecological systems that are grounded in the ecology-based system paradigm are often less developed and/or less recognizable than those which are grounded in the machine-based system paradigm (Eisler & Fry, 2019;Nordman, 2021). At the same time, they are ubiquitous throughout human society and nature and can be mobilized.…”

Social and ecological systems shape the extent to which humans and the rest of nature live together in a state of well-being. In this article, we work with two intertwined paradigms (i.e., worldviews) that underlie our social and ecological systems. We describe these paradigms, their historical roots, and their differing connections to clusters of system science concepts. We then explain how we are using these paradigms and system science concepts as the basis of an evaluation design process to support systems transformation toward a just and ecologically healthy civilization. The connection of this evaluation orientation to the decolonization and Indigenization of our social and ecological systems is woven throughout the article.

“…20 Michèle Salmona (59, pp. [93][94][95][96][97] emphasises the importance to animal welfare of life-long apprenticeships in peasant societies: Whether speaking of the Peul or the French, the transmission of animal knowledge from one generation to the next necessitates the selection of those with an aptitude for this work and the development of a slow, gentle, patient disposition and fortitude in the face of hardships and isolation. This transmission and, in particular, the affective component, is lost when children go away to school or attend college later in life to learn about the technical (I-It) aspects of animal production (59, p. 97).…”

The appearance of the mule in the remote villages of the Toubkal National Park in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco can be traced back to the early years of the twentieth century. The mule population’s subsequent growth in numbers accompanied the shift away from a subsistence economy that was made possible by the appearance and growth of the mining and mountain tourism industries. This paper reviews this early history, drawing on the accounts provided by early explorers and anthropologists, before developing a mixed methods approach to evaluating the welfare of pack mules in two villages within the National Park. The first village is part of the main access route to the Toubkal, the principle summit of the National Park and therefore much visited. The second is a much more remote, under visited and less developed village. Ethnographic work, studying muleteering practice and undertaken over several years is reported here and supplemented by findings from a detailed survey of the mules of both villages. This allows the work undertaken and the lived realities of the working mule across several generations of inhabitants to be presented together with data about the primary welfare concerns identified on clinical examination. In village one, 72 mule owners and their mules were surveyed and examined. Many of these mules worked in tourism, providing a source of revenue for their families. This work was often undertaken by teenagers/young adults working their father’s mules. Tethering was widely practised and evidence of tethering injuries were identified in most mules. In the more remote village, 18 owners and their equids were surveyed and examined. In this population, mules were more likely to be worked locally in agriculture, building and to collect firewood. Bitting injuries associated with the use of the traditional bit were a significant concern in both villages. The universal use of a closed shoe was also in evidence in both villages; this was associated with atrophy of the frog and hoof imbalances. The reasoning for the use of the traditional bit and closed shoe are presented and alternatives discussed.
