In art and literature, animals appear not only as an allegoric
representation but as a reference which troubles the border between
humanity and animality. The aim of this book is to challenge
traditional ways of confronting animality with humanity and to
consider how the Darwinian turn has modified this relationship in
postmodern narratives. The subject of animality in culture, ethics,
philosophy, art and literature is explored and reevaluated, and a
host of questions regarding the conditions of co-existence of
humans and animals is asked: Should discourse ethics now include
entities that initially seemed mute and were excluded from
discussions? Does the modern animal rights movement need a
theology, and vice versa, is there a theology that needs animals?
Are animals in literature just metaphors of human characters, or do
they reveal something more profound, a direction of human desires,
or a fantasy of transgressing humanity? This book provides answers
and thus gives a new impetus to a so far largely overlooked field.
