Human-Animal Studies is a burgeoning multidisciplinary enterprise.
Human-Animal Studies places the relationships humans have with
other animals, and the relations other animals have with humans, at
the centre of scholarly enquiry, artistic practice, and political
critique. It draws from, and engages with, subjects across the
social sciences, the humanities, and beyond, including
anthropology, archaeology, art, biological sciences, cultural
studies, environmental studies, ethology, geography, gender
studies, history, literary studies, philosophy, religious studies,
science and technology studies, sociology, and visual culture. As
research in and around Human-Animal Studies blossoms as never
before, this new four-volume collection from Routledge's Critical
Concepts in the Social Sciences series meets the need for an
authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and
ever more complex corpus of literature. Edited by two leading
scholars, the collection gathers foundational and canonical work,
together with innovative and cutting-edge applications and
interventions. In particular, the editors have fully incorporated
masterworks from South America, Asia, and Africa to capture a truly
global diversity of perspectives. With a full index, together with
a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editors, which
places the collected material in its historical and intellectual
context, Human-Animal Studies is an essential work of reference.
The collection will be particularly useful as an essential database
allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily
located. It will also be welcomed by scholars and students as a
crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar-and sometimes
overlooked-texts.
