"Interspecies Negotiations: Literature and Human-Wildlife Conflict in Indian Literature brings together literary analyses that explore how contemporary Indian literature reflects and reimagines human-wildlife entanglements.
The escalation of human-wildlife conflict in India cannot be explained solely by species behaviour or environmental disruption. It is also deeply social and political, rooted in contestations over land use, governance, and resource distribution. Yet social science accounts often overlook wildlife's agency and responsiveness to anthropogenic change, where animals are portrayed as passive victims of development agendas. What might an alternative approach look like if we are to move beyond framing these encounters as conflict, recognize the agency of both human and nonhuman animals, and account for the ecological, political and ethical complexities of coexistence?
The essays in this volume cover a nuanced reading at the intersection of literature, ecology, and postcolonial critique by engaging with two key questions: What does it mean to live with wildlife in postcolonial India? And how do literary narratives illuminate the affective and ethical dimensions of interspecies encounters? The collection thus positions literary analysis as a critical site for reimagining coexistence in postcolonial India".

Ludic Fox Tales: Metamodern Hope, Biophilic Play, and Animal Fable Games - Paidia

This paper introduces the ‘animal fable game’ as a distinct mode of storytelling, which offers the human player a simultaneously didactic and whimsical opportunity to step into the paws of a non-human animal protagonist. Drawing on Edward O. Wilson’s idea that humans possess an innate urge to connect with the natural world (i.e. biophilia), it argues that such games function as biophilic playgrounds and engage players in what might be termed ‘biophilic play’. Focusing on ludic fox tales as animal fable successors to the long-standing vulpine narrative tradition, this paper demonstrates how animal fable games achieve this with the help of strategies shaped by the aesthetics of informed naivety characteristic of the presently dominant cultural mood of metamodernism.
