In the midst of the climate crisis and the threat of the sixth
extinction, we can no longer claim to be the masters of nature.
Rather, we need to unlearn our species' arrogance for the sake of
all animals, human and non-human. Rethinking our being-in-the-world
as Homo sapiens, this monograph argues, starts precisely from the
way we relate to our closer companion species. The authors gathered
here endeavour to find multiple exit strategies from the
anthropocentric paradigms that have bound the human and social
sciences. Part I investigates the unexplored margins of human
history by re-reading historical events, literary texts, and
scientific findings from an animal's perspective, rather than a
human's. Part II explores different forms of human-animal
relationships, putting the emphasis on the institutions, spaces,
and discourses that frame our interactions with animals. Part III
engages with processes of "translation" that aim to render animals'
experience and perception into human words and visual language.
