Violently meeting in the emptiness: Drafting sharing skins

Abstract

This artistic contribution has to do with the open debate (and "drafting of positions") on current changes in the legal protection of wolves in Spain as an expression of: The deep conflict (sometimes violent) between the rural interests and the urban fascination for these animals who kill other animals.-How wolves symbolise our capacity to share the world with other forms of life, also dangerous, beyond consumption, and to change our habits.-And how initiatives for deep listening and understanding between different human and non-human animals in conflict, perhaps in the intersections of knowledge between rural and green criminologies, can be done through critical thinking, avoiding humilliation or urban superiorities. At the same time, as explained in the final note, we play with the socio-legal notions of "emptied Spain", glocalisation and "pack" in violence against women. All these different ideas are wrapped within a final vision of restorative justice. The work combines three illustrations by three different artists and a text envisaged as poetic prose.
