Norwegian HAS anthology: Revised book project description

The Norwegian HAS anthology I an involved with, with co-editors Ragnhild Sollund and Guri Larsen and in contact with the publisher Spartacus, has gotten a new work title: Hvem er villest i landet her? Dyr som objekter i en menneskedominert tidsepoke [Who's the wildest one in the country here? Animals as objects in an era dominated by humans].

We have further written an all new book project description - concise one, 1 page only, with an Anthropocene theme. Currently awaiting feedback from the publisher.

Brief update on Norwegian HAS anthology

While I have been travelling abroad, my two fellow editors, Ragnhild Sollund and Guri Larsen, have been in a meeting with our prospective publisher, Spartacus. The work title has on the suggestion by our publisher-editor been changed from "Der natur møter kultur" to "Vill, villere, villest". During the summer we will rework the project description so as to focus more consistently on instrumental approaches to nature which are typical for our time. We still depend on getting funding to make the publication happen.

Update on Norwegian HAS anthology

The publisher Spartacus has responded to our book proposal for a Norwegian Human-Animal Studies anthology (entitled Der natur møter kultur - mennesket og andre dyr) that they might be interested, given a) a sharper focus and b) 100.000 NOK in funding.

We are considering our options...
