In Multispecies Dialogues Eva Meijer develops a new understanding of the concept ‘dialogue’, which includes embodied, material and spatial interaction. Meijer does not do this alone: each chapter of the book is devoted to a dialogue, or set of dialogues – with street dog Olli, a community of former lab mice, amphibian neighbours, the North Sea, and many other beings. Taking multispecies dialogues seriously is a way to do justice to more-than-human agency and to become more worldly in a time dominated by humans. Rethinking the model of the dialogue also opens up new ways of doing philosophy in multispecies world, which is urgently needed to address the ecological, political and philosophical problems of our time.
Eva Meijer is a philosopher, writer, and artist. They write novels, philosophical essays, academic texts, poems and columns, and their work has been translated into over twenty languages. Recurring themes are language, madness, nonhuman animals, and politics. Meijer works as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), and is the co-chair of the Dutch Study Group for Animal Philosophy. They also write columns and essays for Dutch newspapers and are a member of the Multispecies Collective.
