The emotional exchange between so-called "humans" and
more-than-human creatures is an overlooked phenomenon in societies
characterized by the ubiquitous deaths of animals. This text offers
examples of people across diverse disciplines and perspectives-from
biomedical research to black theology to art-learning and
performing emotions, expanding their desires, discovering new ways
to behave, and altering their sense of self, purpose, and community
because of passionate, but not romanticized, attachments to
animals. By articulating the emotional ties that bind them to
specific animals' lives and deaths, these authors play host to
creaturely ghosts who reorient their world vision and work in the
world, offering examples of affect and feeling needed to enliven
multi-species ethics.
