Thinking Through the Living World.

Tracking does not only generate experiences in the field, it also raises questions. Questions about knowledge, about perception… about history, about society… It brings together perspectives from philosophy, anthropology, ecology, ethology...

Rather than treating these disciplines separately, the aim is to let them resonate around a shared question: how do our ways of speaking, observing and imagining shape our relationship with animals and the living world? This line of inquiry belongs to a small but growing field in the environmental humanities described as ecocriticism, where scientific observation, philosophical reflection and artistic forms meet to explore how humans perceive and narrate the more-than-human world.

We hope to connect with thinkers, researchers, writers, poets and artists working across ecopoetics, ecofeminism, ecophenomenology, ecology, anthropology and other embodied thinking practices.

These essays, of course, do not aim to establish a definitive theory of tracking, but to enter in dialogue with the broader ecocritical field. We imagine a form of writing that remains porous: to field experience, artistic practice, to other ways of knowing, and to whatever the world brings into the inquiry !
