title: Becoming-bat: Bat-lovers’ values, practices and their role in bat conservation at the city of Groningen
creator: Caiza, Angelica
description: Moreover, bat-lovers are citizens who are dedicated to encounter bats learn about bats and work on bat conservation. A postmodern and feminist approach taken in this thesis attempts to understand the embodied knowledge of bat-lovers and their continued experiences through specific practices.     The human-animal relationships approach allows the reinterpretations of wild animals in urban areas within a new urban theory “Zoopolis a transspecies urban theory”. This theory serves as a platform where the “Biophilia” is explored through the “human values of nature” and the practices and encounters of “ Becoming-animal (bat)” converge in the overlapping of time, space, place and devises between human and bats, where feelings of empathy and proximity transgress the human borders to experience the live of a bat.    This research was carried out with 8 participants through qualitative approach by in-depth interviews and narrative analysis.
