Tenderness of the species

Questionable levels of intimacy between human and non-human bodies are being held responsible for the current pandemic. However, to prevent further catastrophes, it does not suffice to simply cloak our current anthropocentric actions in new, green robes. In his lecture, Amir refers to the interconnectedness and vulnerability of bodies to propose a more-than-human perspective.
