In the Fall I went to Vancouver to read a paper at the joint American Anthropological Association / Canadian Anthropology Society conference, Changing Climates. I spoke alongside colleagues with whom I took a Medical Anthropology course taught by Dr. Kristen Bright. The title of the panel was The Extended Life of Things: Vitality, Materiality, and Justice at the Edges of the Person which was vague enough to allow us to speak about a wide variety of experiences including legal positivism, mental health, organ transplants, end-of-life care, and the dimensions of natural environments.

In 2009 two Canadian poets travelled to five different ecosystems within the borders of British Columbia. At each location, they left a copy of the canonical text of physical anthropology, Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859), open to the elements for one calendar year. The project, documented in the photographic book Decomp (Collis & Scott 2013) turned the poets’ usual mode of expression on its head: instead of manipulating words to create a final work of linguistic expression, the poets let nature dissolve the integrity of the book, leaving words and morphemes dangling in poetic fragments.
