Dogs and Cats in South Korea: Itinerant Commodities shows that
though dogs and cats are consumed in the millions each year, they
are recipients of both cruelty and care in a very unique way
compared to other animal species in South Korean society. The
anti-imperialist and postcolonial stances associated with the
consumption of dogs and cats in South Korea are oversimplistic.
Stereotypes by societies that do not eat these animals overshadow
the various ways in which South Korean citizens interact with them,
including companionship. In fact, many dogs and cats go from
companion to livestock, and from livestock to companion,
demonstrating that the relationships with these creatures are not
only complex, but also fluid. The trajectories of the lives of dogs
and cats are never linear. In that sense, individual dogs and cats
in South Korea are itinerant animals navigating an exchange system
based on culture, economics, and politics. With nuance and cultural
understanding, Dugnoille tells the complicated stories of these
animals in South Korea, as well as the humans who commoditize and
singularize them.
