Reading Slaughter: Abattoir Fictions, Space, and Empathy in Late
Modernity examines literary depictions of slaughterhouses from the
development of the industrial abattoir in the late nineteenth
century to today. The book focuses on how increasing and ongoing
isolation and concealment of slaughter from the surrounding society
affects readings and depictions of slaughter and abattoirs in
literature, and on the degree to which depictions of animals being
slaughtered creates an avenue for empathic reactions in the reader
or the opportunity for reflections on human-animal relations.
Through chapters on abattoir fictions in relation to narrative
empathy, anthropomorphism, urban spaces, rural spaces, human
identities and horror fiction, Sune Borkfelt contributes to debates
in literary animal studies, human-animal studies and beyond.
