This book provides an in-depth investigation into the practices of
animal housing systems with international contributions from across
the humanities and social sciences. By attending to a range of
different sites such as the zoo, the laboratory, the farm and the
animal shelter, to name a few, the book explores material
technologies from the perspective that these are integrated parts
of a larger biopolitical infrastructure and questions how animal
housing systems, and the physical infrastructures that surround
central human-animal practices, come into being. The contributions
in the book show in various ways how physical infrastructures of
animal housing are always part of a much broader sociocultural and
political infrastructure, where the material reality of housing
systems combines with human and animal agents, with politics, and
with practices. As such, the book explores what kind of practices
and relations develop around the physical structures of animal
housing, and by whom, and for whom, they are developed. This
innovative collection will be of great interest to student and
scholars in animal studies, more than human studies, geography,
anthropology, and sociology.
