Just across the bay there’s a decommissioned North Sea oil platform, sawn off at the knees and propped up in the sprawling scrapyard of Able Seaton Port to decay in the sun and salt air. It looks like a mirage, a hallucination, crash-landed spaceship. This is Teesmouth. Between me and the platform, a work party of oystercatchers is busily processing the broad, dark sands of the bay. A dozen or so seals have hauled out a bit further along, and lie torpid in the hazy sunshine.

A late walk along the clifftops to where the fulmars nest. It’s mildish for a north-east April evening, but a purposeful sort of southerly is blowing hard up the coast. The fulmars, dropping and rising from their nesting ledges, show me what they can do, riding the back of the wind, wings stiff like Stuka bombers: zoooom, they go, in raking diagonals across the parallel of the cliff edge.

Winter is letting go its grip – for now, anyway. The hard freeze of early January relented somewhat this week; here in the wetlands of the Dearne Valley, the ice sheets drew back a little, if only a little, and a streak of dark clear water opened up by the far shore. A crowd scene developed: wigeons, tufted ducks, shelducks, a chorus of cormorant families on the bank, and, beyond them, on the grass, the heavy black bodies of coots, grazing in a herd like miniature water buffalo.

Diogenes the Cynic (c.412-323 BC) provides not only the title but the guiding spirit for this book about people who use their bodies as sites of resistance or protest. The Greek philosopher also known as “Diogenes the Dog” slept, masturbated and defecated in the public square as a way to protest against political corruption. “Other dogs bite their enemies”, he said.

On the sunlit chalk downlands of southern England, a flitting bright-blue butterfly poses an identification puzzle. Could it be an adonis blue? A chalkhill blue? A common blue? I am not on the sunlit chalk downlands of southern England. I am among brambles, in a sloping reach of untended land that separates the train station from the waters of Bradford Beck, at one time the most polluted river in England.
