Abstract
ABSTRACT This autoethnographic essay examines how life writing can engage with environmental accountability and human and animal relationships through the material and symbolic presence of the figurine. It considers the narrative potential of encounters with such objects in the light of ecological crisis, climate change and mass extinction, how this interrupts the aesthetics of cute and kitsch, and connects to literary, ecological, and philosophical narratives. Informed by posthumanism and vital materialism, this essay uses a ceramic figurine of an otter to investigate how life writing might address environmental crisis through everyday domestic details and encounters.
