This book examines the theme of human-animal interactions
contextualized against the idea of the Anthropocene. Focused on
China and its immediate Asian borderlands, this interdisciplinary
collection provides a powerful and insightful analysis of the
ecological challenges that mankind's traditional activities have
created. Through in-depth case studies, each focusing on a
particular human-animal dynamic, the book contextualises and
advances the understanding of existing environmental and ecological
problems faced by local communities in Asia. In particular, the
book hopes to transcend the duality of the nature versus culture
debate by locating animal-ecological problems in the behavior of
human institutions, beliefs and practices, which are often affected
by prevailing cultural proclivities, political ideologies, economic
interests and scientific agendas. Through interrogation of
theoretical concepts of Anthropocene and human-animal binary, the
volume highlights the controversial debates that follows their
usage as well as their empirical utility understanding human-animal
interactions historically, thereby engaging a broader
interdisciplinary conversation is increasingly links these two
fields together. Providing a platform for discussion and dialogue
for a wide audience, this book will appeal to students and scholars
of environmental history and politics, anthropology, political
science and policy studies, China studies and Asian studies more
generally.
