Abstract
Abstract:This essay investigates the ambiguous relationship between humans and bears, especially in light of the catastrophic fate of the latter in the Anthropocene. Their demise correlates to the loss of any cultural, political, and economic sense of our kinship with them. The consequences of this growing ontological gap include the ongoing extinction of "humanimal culture."
