About this book

With their return to Germany, wolves leave their traces in personal feelings, in the atmospheres of rural landscapes and even in the sentiments and moods that govern political arenas. Thorsten Gieser explores the role of affects, emotions, moods and atmospheres in the emerging coexistence between humans and wolves. Bridging the gap between anthropology and ethology, the author literally walks in the tracks of wolves to follow their affective agency in a more-than-human society. In nuanced analyses, he shows how wolves move, irritate and excite us, offering answers to the primary question: What does it feel like to coexist with these large predators?

Media reviews

"Drawing from the natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities - including behavioural ecology, the human dimensions of wildlife, environmental anthropology and animal geography - this book is a great example of interdisciplinarity in practice. This book is an engaging, thought-provoking and stimulating read that is relevant not only for academics and practitioners but also for other interest groups as well as general readers interested in managing a shared (co)existence with non-human others."

-- Valerio Donfrancesco * Conservation and Society, 1-2 ( 2024) *
