Queer Flora, Fauna, And Funga

Description

• Reflects on and reconsiders the relationships between humans and their more-than-human companions

• With more than 40 contributions from, among others: Daisy Hildyard, Melissa Faliveno, Giovanni Aloi, and CAConrad 

Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga is an eclectic and transdisciplinary anthology, highlighting the sexual and gender diversity in nature. Queer theory and natural history intersect through visual art and creative writing.

This publication gives attention to roughly forty case studies, which inspire us to reimagine the world and our place in it. Each contribution dives into questions such as: How does acknowledging the queerness of nature inspire us to compose the world otherwise? How can we rewrite history to make a place for ourselves in the story? And what is the role of an individual in a symbiotic community? The arts, poetry, scientific and speculative writing spark this imagination, and give readers tools to shape the world differently.

Queer Flora, Fauna, and Funga asks to expand our knowledge about sexual and gender diversity, and to reconsider our relationships with each other and our more-than-human companions in the natural world.
