In&nbsp;<em>Earth, Ice, Bone, Blood<\/em>, Charlotte Wrigley considers how permafrost\u2014and its disappearance\u2014redefines extinction to be a lack of continuity, both material and social, and something that affects not only life on earth but nonlife, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Earth, Ice, Bone, Blood<\/em>&nbsp;approaches the topic of thawing permafrost and the wild new economies and mitigation strategies forming in the far north through a study of the Sakha Republic, Russia\u2019s largest region, and its capital city Yakutsk, which is the coldest city in the world and built on permafrost. Wrigley examines people who are creating commerce out of thawing permafrost, including scientists wishing to recreate the prehistoric \u201cMammoth steppe\u201d ecosystem by eventually rewilding resurrected woolly mammoths, Indigenous people who forage the tundra for exposed mammoth bodies to sell their tusks, and government officials hoping to keep their city standing as the ground collapses under it. Warming begets thawing begets economic activity\u2014and as a result, permafrost becomes discontinuous, both as land and as a social category, in ways that have implications for the entire planet. Discontinuity, Wrigley shows, eventually evolves into extinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offering a new way of defining extinction through the concept of \u201cdiscontinuity,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Earth, Ice, Bone, Blood<\/em>&nbsp;presents a meditative and story-focused engagement with permafrost, emphasizing how much more it is than just frozen ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlotte Wrigley, postdoctoral fellow at the Greenhouse Center for Environmental Humanities, University of Stavanger (Norway), presented her book\u00a0Earth, Ice, Bone, Blood: Permafrost and Extinction in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2023-06-05-Wrigley.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2023-06-05-Wrigley_pod.jpeg","cover_image_id":"2805","duration":"54:48","filesize":"35.98M","filesize_raw":"37723772","date_recorded":"2023-06-05","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[17,18],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-2803","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","tag-books","tag-environment","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2023-06-05-Wrigley_pod.jpeg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/2803\/charlotte-wrigley-earth-ice-bone-blood","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2803\/charlotte-wrigley-earth-ice-bone-blood","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2803\/charlotte-wrigley-earth-ice-bone-blood\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2803\/charlotte-wrigley-earth-ice-bone-blood<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"RCNIBLZBOU\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/charlotte-wrigley-earth-ice-bone-blood\/\">Charlotte Wrigley &#8211; Earth, Ice, Bone, Blood<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/charlotte-wrigley-earth-ice-bone-blood\/embed\/#?secret=RCNIBLZBOU\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Charlotte Wrigley &#8211; Earth, Ice, Bone, Blood&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"RCNIBLZBOU\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
