The creative works examined in this volume feature real and fictional archaeologists, museum curators, botanists, and taxidermists and explore subjects such as the catalog, the cabinet of curiosities, and the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this volume include leading scholars within Latin American studies and the environmental humanities, and the materials they study span diverse media, geographies, historical periods, and linguistic traditions, including Indigenous and Latinx cultural productions. They show how Latin American writers, artists, and critics provide a way of reckoning with the realities of climate change and the Anthropocene, as well as with the conceptual and aesthetic challenges that such realities pose to them. Through the perspectives of these artistic and literary practices, the natural history collections of anthropological museums, herbaria, and laboratories become explorations into the current climate predicament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel Giorgi   Gisela Heffes   Nicolás Campisi   Antonio Gómez   Carlos Fonseca   Florencia Garramuño   Ignacio Veraguas Caripan   Valeria Meiller   Luciana Martins   Jerónimo Duarte-Riascos   Ignacio Pastén López   Florencia Malbrán   Joanna Page   Lucas Mertehikian   Matylda Figlerowicz   Nathaniel Wolfson   Emily Hind\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397879152876,"sku":"9781683405696","price":108.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9760233482787.jpg?v=1773729886","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/imagining-a-new-natural-history-9781683405696","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
