Product Information
Human beings have long imagined their subjectivity, ethics, and ancestry with and through animals, yet not until the mid-twentieth century did contemporary thought reflect critically on animals' significance in human self-conception. Thinkers such as French philosopher Jacques Derrida, South African novelist J. M. Coetzee, and American theorist Donna Haraway have initiated rigorous inquiries into the question of the animal, now blossoming in a number of directions. It is no longer strange to say that if animals did not exist, we would have to invent them. This interdisciplinary and cross-cultural collection reflects the growth of animal studies as an independent field and the rise of "animality" as a critical lens through which to analyze society and culture, on a par with race and gender. Essays consider the role of animals in the human imagination and the imagination of the human; the worldviews of indigenous peoples; animal-human mythology in early modern China; and political uses of the animal in postcolonial India. They engage with the theoretical underpinnings of the animal protection movement, representations of animals in children's literature, depictions of animals in contemporary art, and the philosophical positioning of the animal from Aristotle to Derrida. The strength of this companion lies in its timeliness and contextual diversity, which makes it essential reading for students and researchers while further developing the parameters of the discipline.

Reviews
The contributors succeed in making a range of complex issues in contemporary animal studies accessible-and even engrossing-to the ordinary educated reader, and the editors provide a richly intelligent mapping of the field., Fresh thinking is sorely needed as human beings re-negotiate life on earth with our primordial relatives, the animals: so long our friends, enemies, slaves, and sustenance; so long our mirrors and our matrix. Impressive and startling, Animals and the Human Imagination shows the radical potential of edited volumes to break ground beyond the scope of monographs. Fascinating new studies in fields as diverse as philosophy, ethics, media studies, wildlife management, and children's literature challenge the "animal/human binary" of Western thought. This borderline reveals itself to be neither ontologically fixed nor even biologically stable. Rather, it is wondrously fluid and contingent, existing both within and without human beings. As Lévi-Strauss famously observed in culture and Paul Shepard has memorably mapped in cognition, we continue to "think" with animals -- to imagine ourselves in relation to them, or, as Aaron Gross puts it, "to self-conceptualize through animals in particular contexts." The rich array of ideas offered here seems to suggest we can do no other. Yet at the same time we are moved by this collection "to pause, put to rest, or surrender the categories animal and human." It is to the editors' infinite credit that this paradox is left unmolested, thus emerging as an oracle., Impressive and startling, this anthology shows the radical potential of edited volumes to break ground beyond the scope of monographs.

This book will inspire more scholarly work on animals, but it will also supply fuel for activists who hope to treat animals more humanely--not to say humanly--in the world outside the academy., The essays of this richly evocative and provocative volume deeply unsettle the Western tradition's assumption of an abyss between human and non-human animals. Probing contemporary biopolitics towards animals, the book announces the necessity of nothing less than a mutation in thought. Here, the ethics of difference, vulnerability and responsibility come face to face with the uncanny proximity and radical distance of animals. As this volume shows, animals regard us, and we can't evade that call., Impressive and startling, this anthology shows the radical potential of edited volumes to break ground beyond the scope of monographs.

There is an amazing scope of knowledge in this book, which sheds light on the subject through a wide range of disciplines: science, literature, anthropology, religion, and much more. If you know the cultural representations of a certain animal, this book shows you that there are things in the scientific understanding of that animal that you didn't know you didn't know; and if you know the science, it opens your eyes to the cultural implications, uses, and misues of that science. So, too, there is a fine balance between data and speculation; the specific, factual reports, stunning each in itself and all the more stunning cumulatively, are interleaved with more philosophical discussions, each informing the other."—From the epilogue by Wendy Doniger, University of Chicago, The contributors succeed in making a range of complex issues in contemporary animal studies accessible--and even engrossing--to the ordinary educated reader, and the editors provide a richly intelligent mapping of the field., Evocative and provocative, these essays deeply unsettle the Western tradition's assumption of an abyss between human and non-human animals.

Intellectually exciting, smart, and accessible, this volume will intrigue and revolt, surprise and inspire. The opening overview by Gross is a tour de force and each essay fascinates. Collectively they offer an invitation to think in new ways about what we, perhaps wrongly, call our humanity. I can't imagine a better introduction to the essential new field of critical animal studies., Impressive and startling, this anthology shows the radical potential of edited volumes to break ground beyond the scope of monographs.

This is not in "good" condition. It has tears, stick tape repairs across it. The cover jacket is torn and curled over itself everywhere. It also has pen writing the book. I want expecting an amazing outcome.... but this is well beneath my expectations.
