ABSTRACT
Freya Mathews argues that we need to find ways to restore animals to our day-to-day urban reality and suggests ways in which we can increase the amount of urban habitat for wildlife. Mathews also recounts her own childhood, during which she learned to engage with the unknowable subjectivities of animals and found that this experience is “the principal bridge” to communication with the unknowable subjectivity of the wider world beyond human selfhood.
