Captured: The Animal within Culture (Hardcover)

In 2008 a clip was posted on YouTube which became a worldwide
sensation. The clip, known as the Christian the Lion reunion,
showed an emotional reunion between two men and a lion. They had
purchased the lion cub at Harrods in London, kept him as a pet,
then rehomed him in Kenya on George Adamson's Kora Reserve. Key
themes of the essays in Captured: the Animal within Culture are
encapsulated in Christian's story: the implications of the physical
and cultural capture of animals. As commodities trafficked for
profit or spectacle, as subjects of scientific endeavour, the
invisibility of animal capture and the suffering it invariably
brings takes place in the context of a proliferation of
representations of animals in all aspects of human culture. Leading
scholars discuss films, novels, popular culture, performance and
histories of animal capture and several of the essays provide
compelling accounts of animal lives.
