The creative works examined in this volume feature real and fictional archaeologists, museum curators, botanists, and taxidermists and explore subjects such as the catalog, the cabinet of curiosities, and the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this volume include leading scholars within Latin American studies and the environmental humanities, and the materials they study span diverse media, geographies, historical periods, and linguistic traditions, including Indigenous and Latinx cultural productions. They show how Latin American writers, artists, and critics provide a way of reckoning with the realities of climate change and the Anthropocene, as well as with the conceptual and aesthetic challenges that such realities pose to them. Through the perspectives of these artistic and literary practices, the natural history collections of anthropological museums, herbaria, and laboratories become explorations into the current climate predicament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel Giorgi Gisela Heffes Nicolás Campisi Antonio Gómez Carlos Fonseca Florencia Garramuño Ignacio Veraguas Caripan Valeria Meiller Luciana Martins Jerónimo Duarte-Riascos Ignacio Pastén López Florencia Malbrán Joanna Page Lucas Mertehikian Matylda Figlerowicz Nathaniel Wolfson Emily Hind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolás Campisi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683405552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683405559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Florida Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Nicolás Campisi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136857518335,"sku":"9781683405559","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89131152-249d-4757-9ba3-aaf0d7444ccb.jpg?v=1770164937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagining-a-new-natural-history-nicolzas-campisi-9781683405559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
