Contents:
Prologue: The Pasture in the Metropolis -- Introduction: Nature and the City -- Constructing the Natural Order -- Nature as a Cultural System -- Anthropology and the Natural World -- Human-Animal Relations in the City -- Reproducing the Natural Order: The Domestic Domain -- Manufacturing the Natural Order: The Factory Domain -- Reordering the Natural World: The Civic Domain and the Invention of History -- Naming the Other in Western Culture -- Missing Metaphors -- Anthropology as Natural History -- Epilogue: A Dream in a City Park.
Review: "Reordering the Natural World is a account of the many and varied ways in which animals and humans interact in the urban context. In looking at these interactions, Annabelle Sabloff argues that the everyday practices of contemporary capitalist society contribute to our alienation from the rest of nature. At the same time, however, she reveals the often disguised affinities and sense of connection that urban Canadians nonetheless manifest in their relations with animals and the natural world." "With this text, Sabloff not only provides insight into the study of relations between humans and the natural world, she lays a cornerstone for building a new structure for the study of anthropology itself."--Jacket
