This book critically investigates the pervasiveness of
anthropomorphised animals in popular culture. Anthropomorphism in
popular visual media has long been denounced for being
unsophisticated or emotionally manipulative. It is often criticised
for over-expressing similarities between humans and other animals.
This book focuses on everyday encounters with visual
representations of anthropomorphised animals and considers how
attributing other animals with humanlike qualities speaks to a
complex set of power relations. Through a series of case studies,
it explores how anthropomorphism is produced and circulated and
proposes that it can serve to create both misunderstandings and
empathetic connections between humans and other animals. This book
will appeal to academics and students interested in visual media,
animal studies, sociology and cultural studies.
