1 Story(telling) Thom Van Dooren , 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: Swamphen : A Journal of Cultural Ecology , no. 7 2020; 'Debbie taught me about stories. I was lucky enough to have her as my PhD supervisor, and then as a collaborator and friend. Over the fifteen years that we worked together, she slowly, sometimes painfully, taught me to tell stories. At the same time, she taught me that stories are more than a mode of expression, they are a means of understanding, of thinking, of attending, of relating, and so a profoundly important opening into responsibility.' (Introduction)

1 Ravens at Play Thom Van Dooren , Stuart Cooke , Deborah Bird Rose , 2011 single work prose travel
— Appears in: Cultural Studies Review , vol. 17 no. 2 2011; ''We were driving through Death Valley, an American-Australian and two Aussies, taking the scenic route from Las Vegas to Santa Cruz.' This multi-voiced account of multispecies encounters along a highway takes up the challenge of playful and humorous writing that is as well deeply serious and theoretically provocative. Our travels brought us into what Donna Haraway calls the contact zone: a region of recognition and response. The contact zone is a place of significant questions: 'Who are you, and so who are we? Here we are, and so what are we to become?' Events were everything in this ecology of play, in which the movements of all the actors involved the material field in its entirety. We were brought into dances of approach and withdrawal, dances emerging directly, to paraphrase Brian Massumi, from the dynamic relation between a myriad of charged particles.' (Publisher's abstract)
