The dream of humanism is to cleanly discard of humanity's animal
remains along with its ecological embeddings, evolutionary
heritages and futures, ontogenies and phylogenies, sexualities and
sensualities, vulnerabilities and mortalities. But, as the
contributors to this volume demonstrate, animal remains are
everywhere and so animals remain everywhere. Animal remains are
food, medicine, and clothing; extractive resources and traces of
animals' lifeworlds and ecologies; they are sites of political
conflict and ontological fear, fetishized visual signs and objects
of trade, veneration, and memory; they are biotechnological
innovations and spill-over viruses. To make sense of the material
afterlives of animals, this book draws together multispecies
perspectives from literary criticism and theory, cultural studies,
anthropology and ethnography, photographic and film history, and
contemporary art practice to offer the first synoptic account of
animal remains. Interpreting them in all their ubiquity, diversity,
and persistence, Animal Remains reveals posthuman relations between
human and non-human communities of the living and the dead, on
timescales of decades, centuries, and millennia.
