Provides cross-disciplinary perspectives on the study of animals in
humanities This volume critically investigates current topics and
disciplines that are affected, enriched or put into dispute by the
burgeoning scholarship on Animal Studies. What new questions and
modes of research need come into play if we are to seriously
acknowledge our entanglements with other animals? World-leading
scholars from a range of disciplines, including Literature,
Philosophy, Art, Biosemiotics, and Geography, set the agenda for
Animal Studies today. Rather than a narrow specialism, the 35 newly
commissioned essays in this book show how we think of other animals
to be intrinsic to fields as major as ethics, economies as
widespread as capitalism and relations as common as friendship. The
volume contains original, cutting-edge research and opens up new
methods, alignments, directions as well as challenges for the
future of Animal Studies. Uniquely, the chapters each focus on a
single topic, from 'Abjection' to 'Voice' and from 'Affection' to
'Technology', thus embedding the animal question as central to
contemporary concerns across a wide range of disciplines. Key
Features Provides in one work prominent scholars in animal studies
and their reflections on the trajectory of the field Embeds the
'animal question' as central to contemporary concerns across a wide
range of disciplines Brings discourses from the sciences into
dialogue with the arts and humanities Opens up new methods,
alignments, directions and challenges for the future of animal
studies Afterword from Cary Wolfe (Bruce and Elizabeth Dunlevie
Professor of English, Rice University)
