Plants, animals, fungi, and microbes appear alongside humans in this singular book about natural and cultural history. Anthropologists have collaborated with artists and biological scientists to illuminate how diverse organisms are entangled in political, economic, and cultural systems. Contributions from influential writers and scholars, such as Dorion Sagan, Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, are featured along with essays by emergent artists and cultural anthropologists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDelectable mushrooms flourishing in the aftermath of ecological disaster, microbial cultures enlivening the politics and value of food, and nascent life forms running wild in the age of biotechnology all figure in this curated collection of essays and artifacts. Recipes provide instructions on how to cook acorn mush, make cheese out of human milk, and enliven forests after they have been clear-cut. \u003ci\u003eThe Multispecies Salon\u003c\/i\u003e investigates messianic dreams, environmental nightmares, and modest sites of biocultural hope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor additional materials see the companion website: www.multispecies-salon.org\/ \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors.
