But what exactly is domestication, and what does it tell us about ourselves? In this book, Marcus Baynes-Rock seeks the common thread linking stories about the domestication of Australias native animals, arguing that domestication is part of a process by which late modernity threatens to undo the world.In a deeply personal account, the author tells of his encounters with crocodiles and emus behind fences, dingoes and kangaroos crossing boundaries, and native bees producing honey in his suburban backyard. Drawing on comparisons between Aboriginal and colonial Australians, Baynes-Rock reveals how the domestication of Australias fauna is a process of unmaking. As an extension of late modernity, the connections that tie humans and other animals to wider ecologies are being severed, threatening to isolate us and our domesticates from the rest of the world. It is here that Baynes-Rock reveals a key difference between Aboriginal and colonial Australian modes of landscape management: while one is focused on a systemic approach and sees humans as integral to ecological integrity, the other seeks to sever domesticates from ecological processes. The question that emerges is: How might we reconfigure and maintain these connections without undoing humanity?Written in the authors characteristically frank, passionate, and humorous style, Crocodile Undone takes the reader on a journey across both physical and philosophical landscapes. This fascinating narrative will appeal to anyone interested in the vital connections between humans and animals....2959045Crocodile Undone683758https://www.gandhi.com.mx/crocodile-undone-9780271087467/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3403541/ba14d930-b8e3-47d0-bcf6-32f024357a9e.jpg?v=638385325080600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209780271087467_W3siaWQiOiJjMWY4NWYwNi0xMDE2LTQzNmYtOTI4YS02YzY5NGU5NTZhZjUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjc0MSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjc0LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjY2NywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780271087467_Across the world, animals are being domesticated at an unprecedented rate and scale.
