Episode Synopsis


This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Jaime Landinez can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2023/04/birding-in-ruins-multispecies-encounters-and-the-ecologies-of-evidence/. About the post: This piece explores the life forms that emerge in the ruins of capitalist dreams and the production of modest forms of evidence that seek to render them visible. It sees the sensorial practices prevalent among birdwatchers, such as long walks, careful listening and observation, and close attention to seemingly trivial acts (feeding, nesting, mating) as forms of evidence-making in the ruins of a once prosperous aquaculture farm.
