Screening the Nonhuman draws connections between how animals
represented on screen translate into reality. In doing so, the book
demonstrates that consuming media is not a neutral act but rather a
political one. The images humans consume have real world
consequences for how animals are treated as actors, as pets, and in
nature. The contributors propose that altering the representations
of animals can change the way humans relate to non/humans. Our hope
is for humans to generate more ethical relationships with
non/humans, ultimately mediating reality both in terms of fiction
and non-fiction. To achieve this end, film, television,
advertisements, and social media are analyzed through an
intersectional lens. But the book doesn't stop here. Each author
creates counter-representational strategies that promise to unweave
the assumptions that have led to the mistreatment of humans and
non/humans alike.
