Plucking History with Andreia Farinha: The dead all have the same feathers.

"Plucking History  with Andreia Farinha: The dead all have the same feathers" is constructed as a reflection on the importance of birds in the political and historical landscape of humanity. It is an essay about subjugation, power relations and preservation, working from a cultural semiotics that is as comprehensive as possible, which includes both the everyday and the extraordinary, without any distinction as to its importance.
Urban life has always tended to produce a sentimentalist view of nature. Nature is thought of as a garden, a placidly free territory, with birds singing an endless spring. When Hitchcock stages a mutiny of birds in Birds (1963), he rescues the theme from its suprapolitical and bucolic aura to haunt us with the unusual complexity of our history, a history that is also very much interspecific.
