New publication explores listening with mosquitoes across time and place
Our researcher Nicola Renzi has published a chapter “An Ode to Culex: Listening with Mosquitoes, from Virgil to Sápmi” in a collection that explorwa how more-than-human sounds have been narrated and understood across oral and written traditions throughout history.

We are delighted to highlight a beautiful new publication by our researcher Nicola Renzi (University of Helsink), entitled “An Ode to Culex: Listening with Mosquitoes, from Virgil to Sápmi.”
The contribution is included in an open-access volume that brings together diverse perspectives on the narration of more-than-human sounds across oral and written history. Through its exploration of mosquitoes, listening, and place, Renzi’s chapter invites readers to consider how human and non-human worlds are intertwined through sound, storytelling, and cultural memory.
The collection offers a rich interdisciplinary engagement with the ways sounds beyond the human have been perceived, represented, and narrated across different historical periods and cultural contexts.
Congratulations to Nicola on this fascinating contribution!
The publication is available in open access and can be read online here.
