This volume explores the potential of the concept of the creaturely
for thinking and writing beyond the idea of a clear-cut
human-animal divide, presenting innovative perspectives and
narratives for an age which increasingly confronts us with the
profound ecological, ethical and political challenges of a
multispecies world. The text explores written work such as Samuel
Beckett's Worstward Ho and Michel Foucault's The Order of Things,
video media such as the film "Creature Comforts" and the video game
Into the Dead, and photography. With chapters written by an
international group of philosophers, literary and cultural studies
scholars, historians and others, the volume brings together
established experts and forward-thinking early career scholars to
provide an interdisciplinary engagement with ways of thinking and
writing the creaturely to establish a postanthropocentric sense of
human-animal relationality.
