A Brief Introduction

Welcome, dear readers, to a new blog focusing on the messy, generative entanglements that are underlined through contemporary multispecies scholarship.

After many discussions of the potential of a blog centered on multispecies literatures, we are excited to embark on this project. Follow along over the upcoming weeks and months to see how this space evolves, check out the “About Us” section to learn more about Creature Contours, and please reach out if you are interested in collaborating.

This blog highlights the myriad ways that scholarship of nonhuman animals addresses multispecies injustice, retheorizes social phenomena, and illuminates the political contours of species and animality. Using ethnography, literary theory, archival methods, artistic practices and more, the scholars highlighted throughout this blog illustrate the multi-disciplinary and multi-modal possibilities of engaging with the non-human world.
