Emergence Magazine PodcastThe Aquarium – Daisy Hildyard read by Colin SalmonEnglish novelist Daisy Hildyard envisions the deep time evolution of the coastline of Scarborough, North Yorkshire: from a prehistoric meteor strike, to a 19th-century seaside aquarium devoid of fish, a present-day spate of dead tides, and a future where part of the human population has evolved into a hybrid marine species, drawn back to the cradle of the sea to care for its degraded waters.

Toekomst voor Natuur47 – Wolf, raaf en de grens tussen cultuur en natuur – met Kristof Smeyers en Glenn LelieveldWolven zijn terug in de Lage Landen. Ze trekken zich niets aan van onze protocollen en scheidslijnen en poepen zelfs keurig op de stoep in een dorp. De relatie tussen mens en wolf was in de afgelopen eeuwen beladen en ronduit ambigue. Historicus Kristof Smeyers schreef er een boek over: Wolf – wildernisgeschiedenis. In deze aflevering spreekt Anthonie met Kristof en wolvenkenner Glenn Lelieveld van de Zoogdiervereniging. Wat leren wolven ons over de grens tussen cultuur en natuur? En hoe ontwikkelde de relatie tussen mens en wolf zich in de afgelopen eeuwen? We verkennen de nieuwe roofdierwerkelijkheid waarin de Lage La...2023-12-091h 24

Undead Matter has emerged through intersecting discussions with artists, poets, dancers, writers and m...2022-08-2003 min
