Through innovative infrastructure design and by changing how we live, humans are becoming more attuned to nonhuman animals and are making efforts to live alongside them.Examining sites of loss, temporal orientations, and infrastructural mitigations, Nestwork blends rhetorical and posthuman sensibilities in service of ecological care. In this innovative ethnographic study, rhetorician Jennifer Clary-Lemon examines human-nonhuman animal interactions, identifying forms of communication between species and within their material world. Looking in particular at nonhuman species that depend on human development for their habitat, Clary-Lemon examines the cases of the barn swallow, chimney swift, and bobolink. She studies their habitats along with the unique mitigation efforts taken by humans to maintain those habitats, including building "barn swallow gazebos" and artificial chimneys and altering farming practices to allow for nesting and breeding. What she reveals are fascinating forms of rhetoric not expressed through language but circulating between species and materials objects.Nestwork explores what are in essence nonlinguistic and decidedly nonhuman arguments within these local environments. Drawing on new materialist and Indigenous ontologies, the book helps attune our senses to the tragedy of species decline and to a new understanding of home and homemaking. 410 0$aRSA Series in Transdisciplinary Rhetoric Series 606 $aBirds$xNests 606 $aHuman-animal relationships 606 $aBird declines 606 $aRhetoric 606 $aBarn swallow 606 $aChimney swift 606 $aBobolink 610 $aAnthropocene. 610 $aEndangered Species. 610 $aEnvironmental Rhetoric. 610 $aOntario:Canada. 610 $aPosthumanism. 610 $aRhetoric. 610 $aartificial chimneys. 610 $abarn swallow gazebos. 610 $abarn swallow. 610 $abobolink. 610 $achimney swift. 610 $afarming practices. 610 $ahabitat mitgation. 610 $ahuman-nonhuman interactions. 615 0$aBirds$xNests. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships. 615 0$aBird declines. 615 0$aRhetoric. 615 0$aBarn swallow. 615 0$aChimney swift. 615 0$aBobolink. 676 $a598.156/4 700 $aClary-Lemon$b Jennifer$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01430418 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739490603321 996 $aNestwork$93570135 997 $aUNINA
