Jinn, Nature Spirits, and Ecological Thought

Once again we are in a knot of species co­shaping one another in layers of reciprocating complexity all the way down. Response and respect are possible only in those knots, with actual animals and people looking back at each other, sticky with all their muddled histories…It is a question of cosmopolitics, of learning to be ‘polite’ in responsible relation to always asymmetrical living and dying, and nurturing and killing.

— Donna Haraway, When Species Meet
