Superheroes and Critical Animal Studies explores and puts into
dialogue two growing field of studies, comic studies and critical
animal studies. The book's aim is to create a form of praxis that
people can use to actualize many of the values superheroes strive
to protect. To this end, contributor chapters are divided into
sections on the foundation of superhero representation and how to
teach it, criticisms of particular superheroes and how they fall
short of truly protecting the planet, and interpretations of
specific characters that can be read to produce a positive
orientation to the nonhuman world and craft strategies to promote
liberation in the real world. Altogether, the book produces a form
of scholarship on the media that is both intersectional in scope
and tailored to have an impact on the reader beyond theorizing
superheroes for theorization's sake.
This collection of 13 essays addresses and explores Deleuze and
Guattari's relationship to the notion of anarchism: in the diverse
ways that they conceived of and referred to it throughout their
work, and also more broadly in terms of the spirit of their
philosophy and in their critique of capitalism and the State. Both
Deleuze and Guattari were deeply affected by the events of May '68
and an anarchist sensibility permeates their philosophy. However,
they never explicitly sustained a discussion of anarchism in their
work. Their concept of anarchism is diverse and they referred to in
very different senses throughout their writings. This is the first
collection to bring Deleuze and Guattari together with anarchism in
a focused and sustained way.
