Reviews

The volume is original, well-conceived, and highly relevant both academically and socially. Its main strength lies in its ability to combine multiple disciplinary perspectives—anthropology, legal studies, linguistics, and environmental humanities. Luca Battaglini, University of Torino

Description

Across the Italian Alps and Apennines, the return of large carnivores is reshaping relations among wildlife, pastoral communities, institutions and mountain landscapes. Drawing on ethnographic and interdisciplinary research in Molise, Trentino and Piedmont, Entanglements with the Wild examines these encounters as biocultural frictions, revealing how conservation, pastoralism, tourism, law, communication and environmental governance produce contested forms of coexistence. Moving beyond oppositions between wild and domestic, nature and culture, the volume explores the unequal distribution of risks, responsibilities and recognition, and considers how situated knowledge, collaborative research and multispecies relations can inform more inclusive forms of environmental mediation.

Letizia Bindi is a Full Professor at the University of Molise and Director of BIOCULT – Biocultural Heritage and Local Development Research Centre.

Roberta Raffaetà is Associate Professor of Socio-cultural Anthropology at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and Deputy Director of NICHE – Center for Environmental Humanities.

Lia Zola is Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the University of Turin.
