In recent years, animals have entered the focus of the social and
cultural sciences, resulting in the emergence of the new field of
human-animal studies. This book investigates the relationships
between humans and animals, paying particular attention to the role
of affect, space, and animal subjectivity in diverse human-animal
encounters. Written by a team of international scholars,
contributions explore current debates concerning animal
representation, performativity, and relationality in various texts
and practices. Part I explores how animals are framed as affective,
through four case studies that deal with climate change,
human-bovine relationships, and human-horse interaction in
different contemporary and historical contexts. Part II expands on
the issue of relationality and locates encounters within place,
mapping the different spaces where human-animal encounters take
place. Part III then examines the construction of animal
subjectivity and agency to emphasize the way in which animals are
conscious and sentient beings capable of experiencing feelings,
emotions, and intentions, and active agents whose actions have
meaning for the animals themselves. This book highlights the
importance of the ways in which affect enables animal agency and
subjectivity to emerge in encounters between humans and animals in
different contexts, leading to different configurations. It
contributes not only to debates concerning the role of animals in
society but also to the epistemological development of the field of
human-animal studies.
