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.
This volume illuminates how creative representations remain sites
of ongoing struggles to engage with animals in indigenous
epistemologies. Traditionally imagined in relation to spiritual
realms and the occult, animals have always been more than primitive
symbols of human relations. Whether as animist gods, familiars,
conduits to ancestors, totems, talismans, or co-creators of
multispecies cosmologies, animals act as vital players in the lives
of cultures. From early days in colonial contact zones through
contemporary expressions in art, film, and literature, the volume's
unique emphasis on Southern Africa and North America - historical
loci of the greatest ranges of species and linguistic diversity -
help to situate how indigenous knowledges of human-animal relations
are being adapted to modern conditions of life shared across
species lines.
Human-animal studies is an academic field that has grown
exponentially over the past decade. It explores the whys, hows, and
whats of human-animal relations: why animals are represented and
configured in different ways in human cultures and societies around
the world; how they are imagined, experienced, and given
significance; what these relationships might signify about being
human; and what about these relationships might be improved for the
sake of the individuals as well as the communities concerned. The
Routledge Handbook of Human-Animal Studies presents a collection of
original essays from artists and scholars who have established
themselves internationally on the basis of specific and significant
new contributions to human-animal studies. This international,
interdisciplinary handbook will be of interest to students and
scholars of human-animal studies, sociology, anthropology, biology,
environmental studies, geography, cultural studies, history,
philosophy, media studies, gender studies, literature, psychology,
ethology, and visual studies.

Animal Satire presents a cultural history of animal satire, a
critically neglected but persistent presence in the history of
cultural production, in which animals expose human folly while the
strategies of satire expose the folly of human-animal relations.
Highlighting the teeming animal presences across the history of
satirical expression from Aristophanes to Twitter, with chapters on
key works of literature, drama, film, and a plethora of satirical
media, Animal Satire reveals the rich rhetorical significance of
animality in powering the politics of satire from ancient and
medieval through modern and contemporary times. More pressingly,
the book makes the case for the significance of satire for
understanding the real-world implications of rhetoric about animals
in ongoing struggles for justice. By gathering both critical and
creative examples from representative media forms, historical
periods, and continents, this volume aims to enrich scholarship on
the history of satire as well as empower creative practitioners
with ideas about its practical applications today.

The story of the canine has been fundamentally entwined with that
of humanity since the earliest times, and this ancient and
fascinating story is told in Susan McHugh's Dog, now available in
B-format. The book unravels the debate about whether dogs are
descended from wolves, and moves on to deal with canines in
mythology, religion and health, dog cults in ancient and medieval
civilizations as disparate as Alaska, Greece, Peru and Persia, and
traces correspondences between the histories of dogs in the Far
East, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Dog also examines the
relatively recent phenomenon of dog breeding and the invention of
species, as well as the canine's role in science fact and fiction;
from Laika, the first astronaut, and Pavlov's famous conditioned
dogs, through to science fiction novels and cult films such as A
Boy and his Dog. Susan McHugh shows how dogs today contribute to
human lives in a huge number of ways, not only as pets and guide
dogs but also as sources of food in Asia, entertainment workers,
and scientific and religious objects. Dog reveals how we have
shaped these animals over the millennia, and in turn, how dogs have
shaped us.
Posthumanism synthesizes philosophical, literary, and artistic
responses to technological advancements, globalization, and mass
extinction in the Anthropocene. It asks what it can mean to be
human in an increasingly more-than-human world that has lost faith
in the ideal of humanism, the autonomous, rational subject, and it
models generative alternatives cognizant of the demands of social
and ecological justice. Amid rising social justice movements,
collapsing economic structures, and the dwindling power of cultural
institutions, posthumanism advances thinking on new and previously
unenvisionable challenges. Posthumanism in Art and Science is an
anthology of indispensable statements and artworks that provide an
unprecedented mapping of this intellectual and aesthetic
development in a global context. It features groundbreaking
theorists including Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, Mel Y. Chen,
Michael Marder, Alexander Weheliye, Anna Tsing, Timothy Morton, N.
Katherine Hayles, Bruno Latour, Francesca Ferrando, and Cary Wolfe,
as well as innovative, influential artists and curators such as
Yvonne Rainer, Skawennati, Chus Martinez, William Wegman, Nandipha
Mntambo, Cassils, Pauline Oliveros, and Doo-sung Yoo. These
provocative and compelling works, including previously unpublished
interviews and essays, speak to the ongoing conceptual and
political challenge of posthumanist thinking in a time of
unprecedented cultural and environmental crises. An essential
primer and reference for educators, students, artists, and art
enthusiasts, this volume offers a powerful framework for rethinking
anthropocentric certitudes and reenvisioning equitable and
sustainable futures.

This volume is the first comprehensive guide to current research on
animals, animality, and human-animal relations in literature. To
reflect the history of literary animal studies to date, its primary
focus is literary prose and poetry in English, while also
accommodating emergent discussions of the full range of media and
contexts with which literary studies engages, especially film and
critical theory. User-friendly language, references, even
suggestions for further readings are included to help newcomers to
the field understand how it has taken shape primarily through
recent decades. To further aid teachers, sections are organized by
conventions of periodization, and chapters address a range of
canonical and popular texts. Bookended by sections devoted to the
field's conceptual foundations and new directions, the volume is
designed to set an agenda for literary animal studies for decades
to come.
Love in a Time of Slaughters examines a diverse array of
contemporary creative narratives in which genocide and extinction
blur species lines in order to show how such stories can promote
the preservation of biological and cultural diversity in a time of
man-made threats to species survival. From indigenous novels and
Japanese anime to art installations and truth commission reports,
Susan McHugh analyzes source material from a variety of regions and
cultures to highlight cases where traditional knowledge works in
tandem with modern ways of thinking about human-animal relations.
In contrast to success stories of such relationships, the
narratives McHugh highlights show the vulnerabilities of affective
bonds as well as the kinds of loss shared when interspecific
relationships are annihilated. In this thoughtful critique, McHugh
explores the potential of these narratives to become a more
powerful, urgent strategy of resistance to the forces that work to
dehumanize people, eradicate animals, and threaten biodiversity. As
we unevenly contribute to the sixth great extinction, this timely,
compelling study sheds light on what constitutes an effective
response from a humanities-focused, interdisciplinary perspective.
McHugh’s work will appeal to scholars working at the crossroads
of human-animal studies, literature, and visual culture, as well as
artists and activists who are interested in the intersections of
animal politics with genocide and indigeneity.
Beginning with a historical account of why animal stories pose
endemic critical challenges to literary and cultural theory,
"Animal Stories" argues that key creative developments in narrative
form became inseparable from shifts in animal politics and science
in the past century. Susan McHugh traces representational patterns
specific to modern and contemporary fictions of cross-species
companionship through a variety of media--including novels, films,
fine art, television shows, and digital games--to show how nothing
less than the futures of all species life is at stake in narrative
forms.
McHugh's investigations into fictions of people relying on animals
in civic and professional life--most obviously those of service
animal users and female professional horse riders--showcase
distinctly modern and human-animal forms of intersubjectivity. But
increasingly graphic violence directed at these figures indicates
their ambivalent significance to changing configurations of
species.
Reading these developments with narrative adaptations of
traditional companion species relations during this period-- queer
pet memoirs and farm animal fictions--McHugh clarifies the
intercorporeal intimacies--the perforations of species boundaries
now proliferating in genetic and genomic science--and embeds the
representation of animals within biopolitical frameworks.
