| Title: | Main Title: Conclusion: Situating multispecies relations in Southern Africa in their local historical and political contexts |
| Description: | Abstract: In this special issue we assess different multispecies relations in Southern Africa and bring together scholars from various disciplines to contribute to the still emerging field of multispecies ethnography and add our perspectives to the ongoing debate, which we situate in Namibia, South Africa and Zambia. In the following we shortly summarise the key aspects of the contributions to this special issue and give an outlook on how research about multispecies relations can also inform other debates on coexistence, multispecies justice and environmental (in)justice. Dealing with the characteristics and particularities of regional histories, we include various inhabitants of these ecosystems into our analysis and raise a multitude of questions around the notions of multispecies relations and coexistence — adding our perspectives to the hitherto rather few accounts with a multispecies focus from this region (see, for instance, Du Plessis 2019, 2022; Nathen 2016; Wels 2020; Wels and Kamsteeg 2023). We want to foreground three major themes that are particularly important in the analysis of multispecies relations in Southern Africa: (1) the precolonial, colonial and postcolonial histories that shape these relations (thus, the temporality of multispecies relations); (2) the locally specific perspectives of residents and their experiences with multispecies relations (thus, situating multispecies relations in specific culturally and socially embedded contexts); and (3) the political decisions made, especially with regard to the planning and implementation of environmental infrastructures and conservation in the region (thus, the political ecology of multispecies relations). |
